I was once told that maggots lived in the end of bananas and so I started to stop eating the banana just before the end. Unfortunately although I know that this isn't true I still can't bring myself to eat a banana to the very end.

I ussed to believe that cows laid meat inthe same way hens lay eggs, was ill for a few days after finding out the truth!
When I was in grade school, there would always be two choices for lunch. The first choice is what most of the kids would order. I'd usually be the only kid that would order 2nd choice. The only reason I did was because I thought the lunch ladies would be sad if no one ordered the 2nd choice.
When I was in kindergarten we had little cartons of milk every day at snack time. I would sit and drink my milk and read the side of the carton, which listed all the products made by that company, including chocolate milk, buttermilk, etc.
I thought the list was actually the ingredients of what I was drinking, that it was a mixture of all those things, and was convinced that I could taste the butter and the chocolate in my milk!
When i was younger, i used to think that if i ate the seeds from inside a tomato, that they would grow a tomato tree inside my stomach so i never used to eat them, my mum had to pick all the seeds out for me.

with all the conviensc of canned food it never occured to me that my son had never eaten a fresh peach, when the neighbor gave him a giant fresh peach from Georgia it really surprised me when he got to the middle and started gagging,when i ask what was wrong he told me it was still raw in the middle, thinking the red center close to the pit was blood like a rare steak
when we were little we lived in the country w/a garden my sister and i thought we could plant m&m's amd grow them,our parents went along the row w/ those little snack sized packs and we really thought we grew m&ms over night!
I made my little sister and my little cousins believe that when they took the skin off oranges the orange pulp was bugs.
I had a friend who used to believe if you put too much salt on your food, you could use the pepper to "neutralize" the salt-taste (as if the pepper cancelled out the salt). He must have ruined a lot of meals!
When I was little I didnt like to go to Mcdonalds because I thought if Ronald Mcdonald saw me he'd follow me home and, at night while I was asleep he would stuff me full of hamburgers - AND I HATED MEAT!
When I was in third grade our teacher asked all the kids what our favorite dish was to eat. Well I had never heard the word dish used in place of the word food before. Everyone was naming their favorite foods but I was still convinced that they were eating actual dishes and when she came around to me, I said how can you eat a dish?! The teacher thought I was being a smartass and gave me such a mean look along with meaner explanation, she almost spit the words at me. She made me feel like such a fool!
When I was younger my older brother convinced me that cornflakes were made of elephants, which caused me to avoid them like the plague for all of three days, during which time I confined myself to weetabix.
When I was little, my parents would take me to Dairy Queen as a special treat. I would look at the pictures of the sundaes and other fancy treats and want one. My mother told me that those were just pictures to look at, that Dairy Queen really only sold ice cream cone. Sad thing is, I actually believed her for years. When I saw other people with sundaes, she told me that at Dairy Queen the sundaes were made with broccoli and spinach and that they were nasty and I wouldn't like them. I believed her for several years. Would my mom lie to me?

I used to believe, thanks to my older brother, that if you didn't close the milk carton after pouring it on your cereal that spiders would drop into the carton. I still can't leave a milk carton open and I'm now 46.
I was always eating watermelon seeds. My family told me that I was going to grow a watermelon patch in my stomach. I told them that the body acid would kill it first! Then I started to grow and was worried it it really was growing with me!
My nan believes that if you swallow chewing gum, it will stay in your stomach for 7 years. Some of my friends also believe that it just sticks to the inside of your stomach and never comes out! o_O
