When I was preschool/kindergarten age I believed that Trolli gummy worms were actual worms that you could buy and keep as pets who would be all bright colored and wonderful. I was convinced if you wrote the company they would send you some for free. I kept telling this to my mother, who for some reason let me believe it was the truth.
