food

I used to believe…

When eating a boiled egg with its shell still on, after I had finished eating the egg, my mum always told me to make a hole in the bottom of the shell so that the witches wouldn't be able to use them as small boats and break into peoples houses and steal things!!!
How bizzare is that!?!

I used to believe…

My gran always told me to 'go easy on the tomato ketchup, because I'm not buying any more', this made me think she was going to die when the bottle was empty, and subsequently made me feel very guilty whenever I put it on my food - in very small amounts.

I realise now she was fibbing, since she lived 'till I was 40!

I used to believe that cat-food was food for people. I called it choco-bits because it was brown. :-)

i always thought that if you swallowed an orange pit it would grow out of your head, i once was in deep distress for a whole weekend coz i swallowed one, much to my older sisters delight

I used to believe…

As a child, i used to find toothpaste particularly yummy. To prevent me from eating too much of it, my dad always told me tht very soon, id have a 'toothpaste tree' growing in my tummy and out of my mouth. That really did make me apprehensive abt my fav meal.

I used to think that the brown cows were the ones giving chocolate milk.

I used to believe…

As a kid, I believed that if I swallowed fruit seeds, the seeds would grow into plants inside my stomach! So I'd be scared to death every time I happened to swallow one.

I was super carefull eating oranges when I was 6 or 7 because my big sister told me if I mistakenly eat the seed I would grow trees in my sthomach. I used to seriously warn my friends not to eat orange seeds.

I used to believe…

That you had to be a male to drink beer.

I used to believe that gum was made outta pig fat becuase of what my dad told me. I believed him for years.

I once was eating lunch at school, and a friend offered me a "cracker". She asked me how it was, and I, not wanting to be rude, just nodded in agreement. Much to my surprise, she told me, after it had alrwady gone down, that I had just eaten cat food! I thought I would die or get some weird disease or turn into a cat *meow*! Anyway, i never considered that cats eat the stuff all their life and dont die!

I used to believe…

When I saw a sign saying "Ice Cream Sold Here" I thought that meant they had sold out of all Ice Cream. My mum knew I thought that and carried on pretending I was right so she wouldn't have to buy me any.

I used to believe that when you became an adult,you would automatically like or even love chilli or chilli sauce or spicy stuff like that!

When I was younger, my cousin told me that if you ate a breakfast cereal, you would turn into the character on the box.

I used to have nightmares about turning into Rory the Tiger on Frosties!
