When i was little I used to believe that food with faces on them could feel the pain of being eaten e.g. potato smileys, so when ever I got my favorite sweets (winnie the pooh gummies) I would apologise to each sweet for the pain I was about to put them through before a eat them but I would spare the piglets because piglet was my favourtive and I didn't want to hurt him.
