food

I've never had Toffifay (also called Toffifee) candy. This is because, when I was little, its commercial jingle was "Toffifay: it's too good for kids!' So I thought I wasn't allowed to buy it... and never did.

I used to believe that the RB button on drink lids meant the drink was for me. My first name starts with R and the nickname for my middle name starts with B. I then realized that it was for root beer.

Random little tidbit as i'm eating my fav type of pudding over here...it's tapioca--i'm really a sucker for anything vanilla flavored, but anyway--different tangent, haha...my Grandpa Jones, back when i was a kid, told me once that the tapioca pearls were frog eggs...i remember how blown my mind was that i was eating them...To this day, anytime i eat tapioca pudding I think of the nostalgia tied to it...Oh memories [3!

I'd recently learned that opium was made from poppies. My mom and sister and I were invited over for lunch at a neighbor's house. She served sandwiches on poppy seed rolls. My eyes got really big, because I thought she was trying to turn us all into addicts, and was shocked that she'd do such a thing, and she wasn't even being sneaky about it. I carefully, unobtrusively scraped all the poppy seeds off my roll before eating it.

Up until I was about 15, I thought that the spoons that came with McDonald's Mcflurry's were straws. Needless to say, I was frustrated when, time after time, I couldn't get any ice cream to go up the straw.

When I was child, I used to believe if I didn't eat soup, I would never grow up

I believed Tea is for men and coffee for women. (Because our mother drinks only coffee and our father only tea, my sister and I thought it was an universal rule...)

when I was a child I used to believe that if you swallowed the seeds of the fruit they would spring up on you.

I always knew that hamburger was made out of cows, but I was very upset when I found out that the cow actually had to die. Before finding that out, I thought that huge chunks of flesh were scooped off of living cows, and that they survived this procedure. I must have thought the world was full of cows with big chunks scooped out of them... either that or that the missing chunks grow back.

I recently shared this childhood belief with a friend of mine. She thought it was morbid, and I said, "What, more morbid than death?"

I used to believe…

My sister used to tell me that bananas were grown straight and that they were sent to the north pole and bent by a man known as the banana bender. So when we used to get straight bananas she used to say that the banana bender didn't do his job i believed this from when I was three to six!

My twins sister and I were eating a bag of Cheetos and I started reading that back of the bag out loud. It said something like "Warning. Eating Cheetos can be dangerous..." The bag then proceeded to name off all the warning signs, like the orange fingers. So without reading anymore, we panicked and washed our hands and mouth-- terrified we were going to die or something. I went back to the bag to read the rest of the warnings. Turns out the punchlines at the bottom. I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure it said something like, "Cheetos are dangerously Delicious."

I used to believe that, if i swallow seeds, fruit will sprout from my ears

When i was a child my parents told me:

"You must eat a lot of food if you want grow and become as tall as your dad!"

And so i used to think that the food entered inside my body and when the body was full of food, the new food that i introduced, pushed the food in my head toward the top. And for this, i could became tall.

For this lore i eated as an insane boy.

Whenever I ate fruits having seeds, I used to believe that if I ate any seed with the fruit, I could see the tree growing from my stomach after few days... Imagining humans with branches of tress above their head :D

When I was little my parents would bring home chinese food occasionally for dinner. My dad would offer us some soy sauce..........but he called it "bug juice", and for years I thought it was made of squished bugs. I never would touch it!!!

When I was a child I used to belive that if you drink water and bread you are going to have worms in your stomach.
