My mom used to tell me that Jell-o was made from horse hooves. I found out recently that wasn't true but that still doesn't make my stomach feel any more relieved.

My dad loves to eat butter on saltine crackers. The more butter the better. When I was little I always wanted to do what dad was doing. To keep me from indulging in his bad habit snack he told me that butter hurt your teeth and promptly stuck out his dentures. "See." He said. "That's why I had to have all my teeth pulled." My mother didn't know that my dad had told me this and tried to offer me a piece of buttered toast soon after. I shook my head and refused to eat the toast because it had butter on it and explained "butter hurts my teeth." I'm not sure how long I believed this, but I'm 28 years old now and still get teased about it.

One time when I was 6 I got a hamburger when I was eating at Max & Erma's.The waiter asked if i wanted pepper on it.I said yes because I thought he meant pepper as in salt & pepper.I took I bite of it and I screamed like crazy because it was jalepeno peppers.

I used to beleive that buffalos had wings! My mom was eating buffalo wings and i wanted to no what they were. And that is what she told me. Then my dad freaked me when he told me that people shot buffalo that had wings! i belived it. And when we were redoing my room my dad said do you want unicorns or the jungle or buffalo with wings!!!!! i chose jungle!lol

I was told when I was about 5 or 6 years old that if after my grandma put the egg shells in the bin, and I touched the little bit of white left in the cracked egg half, that I would get warts all over my fingers. I am now almost 20, and until a few months ago had avoided empty egg shells incase I caught warts - my fiance, thought I was an idiot.

When I was little I used to drink a lot of coke. Then, my dad tried to get me to stop drinking coke by telling me that there were flies in it. I didn't beleive him until my older cousin came up to me with a glass of coke that had a big black fly swimming in it. After that, I had completly stopped drinking the soda for 2 or 3 years. A couple of years later,I found out my dad was lying and that fly my cousin had showed me had flew in the coke on its own and then died.

When I was really young.... around 5 years old I used to belive hot dogs were made of dogs and I loved dogs yet I still ate them, but now that Im 12 I know better. I also used to think that cow tails were cow tail but now I know that they are beef jerky.

I used to believe that pregnant women got their big bellies because they ate watermelon seeds and a watermelon grew inside of them.

I only descovered that macoroni was a kind of pasta when we made some in a cookery class when I was about 13. until then, I'd only ever heard of 'macoroni cheese', + so I assumed it was some kind of chewy cheese...

When I was younger I used to think that cooked mushrooms were chopped up slugs. Now I realise that they merely taste like them.

When i was little i thought pringles were called chris cringles. And when i was like my friend offered me some. And we started fighting over what they were called.

When I was little, my older sister would tell my twin sister and I that when people made hotdogs, they just took a meat grinder, put it in an alley and took the remains of all dead animals and stuffed them in. She also said that rats and raccoons would come down the alley way and crawl into the blenders and the hotdog making people would leave them in. She doesn't remember telling us, but I think she was just trying to get us to stop eating meat because she's a vegetarian herself. We still ate hotdogs after she told us though...

When I was little, I used to believe that salt could absorb water (because eating salt always made me thirsty I suppose). So, I decided to do a little experiment. I took a plastic cup and filled it with water and salt. I left it in one of my desk drawers that I didn't use and forgot about it for years! When I moved, I found it and, alas, the water was not gone. To this day, if you open that drawer, you will smell salt!

MY MOTHER TOLD ME ONE TIME THAT I WAS GOING TO DIE BECAUSE I HAD EATEN SOME WATERMELON SEEDS. FUNNY AS IT WAS THEN I WAS TERRIFIED AND CAN REMEMBER CRYING AND TELLING HER PLEASE DON'T LET ME DIE.
