I used to believe that chocolative laxative was actual chocolate. When my mom recieved some EX-LAX for a gag gift for one of her birthdays when I was about 10... I had 18 pieces of 24 that were in the box.... cause I wanted to save the rest for my mom.... Let's just say I didn't feel too great the next day.

I used to believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows and strawberry milk comes from pink cows. Then I realized that they all came from white cows, and you had to add the chocolate or strawberry powder yourself.

When I was little, my dad was reading the ingredients list of a Dr Pepper to my brother, when he got to where it said "phosphoric acid", I got scared and thought there was acid in Dr Pepper. I stopped drinking it for years, because I believed it would melt your stomach.

When I was very young, around 5 or 6 yrs. old, I remember my mother telling me that if you swallowed your chewing gum, it would stick to your appendix and you'd have to have surgery. I guess I stuck that in the back of my mind and never thought much about it until I was about 20, right after I'd gotten married. I accidentally swallowed my gum, while doing housework. All of a sudden I remembered what my mother had told me. I always trusted my mother. Go figure.

I used to believe…

My mom believes that receiving sesame seeds or substance containing sesame seeds by hand leads to disagreements between those people.
(And i didnt totally disbelieve her either.)
I used to happily hand them between people i love but never between those i usually quibble at. Good usage ha?

I used to believe…

During my childhood,i used to grab something sweet(pre. chocolates) and go for bath.
Alas!i stopped doing that when my grandma made me believe that doing so causes heavy rain during my marriage.errrrrrrrr! NOooooooooooo!

I used to believe…

My mother got my siblings and I to eat brocilli by saying they were "fairy trees" and thus making them special. However my elementry school was very big on teaching us the importance of saving your environment, so when I'd see huge bowls full of brocilli I'd start crying - thinking that I was aiding the deforestation in the "Fairy World" and causing their rain forests to be destroyed.

When I was younger (about 6 or so) I used to believe that "concentrate" (you know, written on orange juice labels) was an actual place (as in a 3rd world country) where they just grew bad fruit. I used to think that the fruits were grown dried-out because the soil didn't have enough water (because they couldn't afford it of course), so they had to add water to the juice when it came to America.
That's why I never liked juice from concentrate.

I believed this up until I was 11.

I used to believe…

My dad used to give me a piece of dry spaghetti to chew on when he was cooking, and once he told me that if i ate it, it would swell up inside my stomach. I asked him how much it would swell and he indicated that it would grow to an inch in diameter. I believed this until i was about 18 and figured that would be impossible!

I used to believe…

once my maid got scared and looked at me with pity when i started eating sprouts.

she believes that they start germinating in stomach .....such a weird and scary thought!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i was sick of convincing her that nothing happens and infact they are quite nutritious......

I used to believe whenever you drank milk, the milk would wash over your bones and which would absorb the good stuff in milk, and that's how you'd grow up big and strong.

I used to believe…

WHen my parents told me not to eat alot of candy cause I could be bouncing off the walls I didnt eat any more candy form when I was like 5 to 15 cause I thought I would literally bounce around the house off the walls!!!

This might seem kind of odd, but when I was like probably 5, and my dad took me to a padres game (the baseball team) there were these to women sitting infront of us eating cheese. Since both of the women had orangeish colored freckles and the cheese was orange I thought that eating cheese makes you get freckles I stopped eating cheese till I was about 14!!!

I used to believe that the restaurant Wataburger was really spelled and pronounced "Waterburger". That then led me to believe that they used water in the making of their burger patties which made their hamburgers taste really plain. It wasn't until my parents stopped buying me regular hamburgers that I relized my myth wasn't true.

I used to believe…

When I was a kid and our family would go to fast food restaurants, my sister would often get up from the table with her cup and say, “I’m going to get Dr. Pepper.” When she came back alone I assumed that Dr. Pepper (a doctor, of course) was busy taking children’s temperatures. After this happened a few times, I began to wonder if Dr. Pepper would ever come by to meet us. He didn’t.

I used to believe…

In the U.S., they had these peanut butter commercials. They showed a piece of bread with peanuts all over it, but if you spread a knife over the peanuts, it turns into peanut butter! I was always amazed when I saw this happen on TV!
