My family went to Olive Garden for dinner once, and my little sister, then 5, asked why there were grapevines hanging on the wall. My parents convinced her that if you drink wine at the restaurant, you had to go in the back and stomp barefoot on the grapes to make more wine, so that the next people could have some. And that wine was gross, because people had to use thier stinky feet to make it. My sister, now seven, still believes thats why we shouldn't drink wine.
I was probably one of many kids who truly believed that Mrs Butterworth really talked. The exception with me was that I thought she only did it if she didnt know you were there. So I would hide and try to "catch" her talking.
