Before I could read, my sister used to tell me I was saying "Burger King" wrong and that it was really called "booger King" because they make everything with boogers in it.

My mother told me (when I was wee) that if I stuck my finger in the pudding to taste it, it wouldn't get thick, but instead would be all runny and yucky so she'd know I'd touched it.
I was 28 before I finally asked anyone else if this was true (via a post on usenet). It isn't.
Now I stick my fingers in the pudding on general principle every time I make it.

When I was very young my mother told me that if I swallowed a piece of gum it would stick to my heart and make it stop beating. Needless to say, to this day my gum always ends up in the trash.

When I was about 6 or 7, my uncle told me Wonder bread was poisonous to children and I should only eat wheat bread. I didn't like wheat bread and I figured any other brand of white bread was safe so I ate that. I still don't buy Wonder bread, and I'm 33 now. Thanks Uncle Jim. :-P
I would see my mom turning off the oven before she took the food out of it. I thought the dials controled the kind of food she wanted. ie. she would set the control to meatloaf and the oven would make a meatloaf for her.
I was very afraid of Cubs Foods' bright orange label strip with little black pictures of grocery bags that people label on milks, pops, cat littler and anything big. I thought it was a picture of monster and everything that were labeled with that strip were possessed by food monsters and make you turn bad if you ate those possessed foods. Years later I looked at these strips again and they turned out to be just a picture of stupid grocery bag.
I thought when I ate something like hamburger or sandwich they will be stacked up neatly from my butt up to my nose until I cant eat any more because there is no space for more food to fit in my throat. If the pieces that are too rotten and stinky to be stored in my body, they goes out of my butt- poop.

When I first started reading labels on cereal boxes, I was fascinated with everything they had to say, but i was confused as to why many of them said "Sugar Free". I finally decided that the cereal companies had some extra sugar and that we could call them for some. :)

When I was 8, my 12 year old sister thought it would be funny to tell me that the citric "acid" in orange juice would burn my skin off if it touched me. Of course I believed her and made sure not to get any ot it on my lips as I drank it. Then she started to spit it on me and laughed as I was hysterically crying! I stayed far away from orange juice for a long, long time.
I saw a Rugrats cartoon about a little baby eating a seed and the other babies getting the seed out, and after watching that I got scared of burritos for some reason and wouldn't eat them with my eyes open for like two years b/c I thought burritos had peoples guts inside of them.
Oh yeah.
