When I was about 5 years old I my grandad took me to the park and bought me a strawberry ice lolly. When we got home I asked what would happen to my lolly stick. He told me that if you buried the stick in the garden, it would grow into whatever plant the flavour had been.
It was only when I was 13 that I found out that the strawberry plant in front of the house wasn't my lolly plant.
