When I was pretty young my favorite drink was Mountain Dew... right up until my sister told me it was mountain goat pee. It took me a few years to start drinking it again.

When I was little, I used to think that all soda was called Coke. But what I really liked and wanted was 7-up. When we went to McDonalds, I always said "I want a hamburger, french fries and a Coke". But whenever I got my drink, I always dissapointed that my soda was brown and not the clear kind (7-up) I liked. Nobody ever told me not all sodas were called Coke.

For the longest time, I thought that grilled cheese sandwiches were actually GIRL cheese sandwiches. I always felt a little slighted when my parents gave them to both me and my brother, since he plainly didn't meet the requirements.

I used to think pineapples came from cheese, because they I thought cut slices look the same. I thought that's why they had ham & pineapple pizzas.

When I was in first grade, I brought peanut butter sandwiches to school everyday, but I never ate the crusts. One day when we were throwing away our trash, another little girl saw the leftover crusts in my baggy and she (who had apparently just taken her first communion), yelled "don't throw that away! That's Jesus's skin!" I was a little hesitant to throw away my savior's skin, but I decided it didn't make much sense and went ahead to the trash.

until i was about 4 i didn't know that milk came from cows. i don't know why, but i thought they just made it at factories like kool-aid or something. one day my family started telling me about how milk comes from cows and i thought it was gross and cried for hours.

When I was about 10, and had just become a vegetarian, my older sister told me that they used pig's blood in the cola at McDonalds. I totally believed her and didn't drink cola from McDonalds until I was 12. Only then did my mum tell me that there was a law preventing that kind of thing. I still feel stupid about it now!

If I had something tasty to eat, my Dad always had to test it first, he said he had to check to see if it was poisoned before I ate it, and if he liked it he would carry on eating it and say it was poisoned so I was glad he was eating it and not me! now i know he just thought it was tasty!!!

i used to believe some even say i still do but they don't know do they!! that if i chewed chewing gum for a hard core 162 days i'd actually turn into a hubba bubba! i know tell me about it life on the shelves in the corner shop sure is strenuous.

I stopped eating bananas for several years because I thought the little black things that were in the middle of the banana when you bit it were a spider's legs sticking up and that there were spiders in every banana.
