When I was a kid I used to believe that the "cherry" was an actual one and to pop it meant someone else popped and literal cherry.
One day I had a bowl full and my brother stole one and ate it. I cried and ran and told my mom he had popped my cherry. She freaked until she found out it was a food cherry.
