My older sister told me this once when I was little and I totally believed it: She told me that if children eat Monteray Jack cheese... then Montery Jack will come and eat them in their sleep...

When The start of Daylight Saving Time in the USA was changed for late April to early April, I thought I had a guess as to why, or at least as to what made it a good idea. I had heard my aunt and some others taalking of a saying that oysters are safe to eat in months whose names contain the letter "R", but not in months containing no "R". That apparently is a real saying. But my aunt went on to tell me that once she had eaten some oysters at what she thought was about 11:30 PM on April 30. Then she made a horrific discovery that she'd forgotten to reset her watch to Daylight Saving Time, so she actually ate those oysters around 12:30 AM on May 1. She said she got really sick from eating those oysters. So I thought that changing the time change to early April was good for that reason, for that way hardly anybody could have failed to reset their watches by May 1. (Later my aunt told me that her story about getting sick from eating oysters that time was a joke, and that she's never really gotten sick from eating oysters, although the saying might have some rough validity.)

I used to believe that eating raw cookie dough would give me worms. I never ate raw chocolte chip cookie dough till I was an adult.

I used to believe that if I swallowed too many wads of gum, they would stay in my stomach and one day they would all stick together and form a big ball and then it would expload in me and i would die. i was terrified of gum until i was 7!

my family always used to go to this comic book/cafe place before they got sued. i always got chocolate milk, and the waitresses and my parents had me believing that they had a chocolate cow in behind the counter making it.

When I was little, my mom used skin cream. I wanted to use it but thought it was the stuff in cream filled cookies, so one night, I took about 7 cookies into my room and disected them, rubbing the cream all over myself. strange thing is, I knew it wasn't cookie cream, but I did it anyway.

When i was little i believed that the seeds in strawberries were peppers. We used to have salami with the peppers in it and i would not eat it because it was hot to me so i also believed that the seeds would be hot.

I used to believe that root beer was literally beer with roots. I was often served it in restaurants, and I would ask,
"Is it freshly made?" which would of course make the grown-ups laugh. It wasn't until I was 7 I figured out that it was actually a kind of soda.

I used to believe…

When I was about 7 or 8, my sister (7 years older than me) convinced me that the pips in strawberry jam where little insect eggs that would hatch and grow inside me.

I have since discovered that she just liked the strawberry jam herself and didn't want me to eat it all.

Sisters!

I used to believe…

my older bro told me that if i blew bubbles bigger than my head they would eat me because they got so big and that stoped me from evan trying to blow bubbles

I used to believe…

When I was younger, I was told that the black hairlike bits in the end of the banana were poisonous, so, since then, I have always made sure to break off the last inch or so of the banana before I ate it. Even today I cannot eat a whole banana, end to end!

I used to believe…

At first, I only knew about chocolate truffles, and knew nothing about the mushrooms with the same name until I was about ten. I assumed they were the same thing, and proceeded to ask my dad "How do they turn the mushrooms into chocolate?". I was so embarrased when he burst out laughing!

I used to believe that if you ate gushers your head would turn into a fruit. Ever since I had seen that gusher commercial I was very afraid of eating gushers. Of course I soon realized that that was impossible and now I LOVE gushers.

I used to believe chicken hot dogs were made of their intestines (yup) till I was as old as 18. It started as a joke, but eventually a lot of people around me started to believe so because my talks aren't usually rubbished! LOL!
