food

I used to believe…

Whenever my mother said handbag, I always thought that she was saying hambag and that she kept ham in there so one day after school I said I was hungry and she said she didn't have any food with her. I then said, "then why did you bring your hambag?" and that's when I found out that it was actually called a handbag.

When I was younger, my mother and I got some fish and chips. I then saw a sign on the wall that said there might be some bones in the fish. My mother told me that it was extremely unlikely and they have to put that up so they don't get sued, but ever since then I hardly ever ate fish and when I did, I cut it up in to tiny pieces and ate it a small amount at a time because I was so scared of choking on a bone. It's hard to enjoy a meal, though, when you can barely taste it because the pieces are so small.

I always thought that carbonated beverages like Pepsi, Coke, Sprite and suchlike were called fountain drinks because they often "fountained" when you opened the can or bottle. It wasn't until I was 20 and had to maintain a drink fountain as part of my job that I realized the machine that dispensed the drinks was called a fountain. That's where the name comes from, but I still like my idea better.

I thought that scone was slang for snow cone so I begged my mom for one at an outdoor fair. I was very disappointed to receive a cookie instead of shaved ice.

Whenever we ate shepherd's pie for dinner my mam would tell me that there was a shepherd in every shepherd's pie so that I'd eat it, since I didn't like the dish. When I was finished but hadn't found the shepherd, my dad would say that he'd eaten it by mistake. This fooled me for years.

I used to think Dr. Pepper flavor soda was actually what a Doctor named Pepper tasted like when you ground him up and stuck him in a soda can, and I didn't understand why anyone would want to taste that.

Milk made your bones stronger by coating them and adding another layer of bone on top, so if I drank too much milk my bones would get too thick and clunk together and I'd be frozen.

When I was seven a friend told me that the sea was salty because the sea was salty because the first man threw a LARGE bag of Fritos into it.She was absolutely convinced this was the truth and seemed to think I was unreligious to question her.I guess Adam owned a Frito factory in Eden.

That the plastic supports in pizza boxes were Tiny Pizza tables for my sisters Barbie Dolls. Took a long time to realize they stop the pizza box from touching the Pizza's center.

I thought marshmallows were a "fruit" which they picked off from bushes, then bought at the store. I think this came from seeing cotton growing in the fields on a Georgia vacation when I was 3 or 4.

I explained this to my uncle (a farmer) when I was in kindergarten and he laughed so hard I thought he was going to have a coronary.

I used to believe that eating Coco Puffs with Chocolate milk would give me diabetes.

I use to believe that, if i ate a watermelon seed it'll grown in my stomach.

When I was a kid my dad told me that soy sauce was Japanese people's blood. He doesn't even remember telling me that, but I believed him for quite a while and still think about that whenever I eat soy sauce.
