When i was younger i was told by my mum that if you ate an orange pip you would get orange trees goin out your ears. I was a only 3 and i was really scared when i was eating an orange and...yes you've guessed it...i ate the pip. I was crying my eyes out and i ran into the bathroom and washed my ears out. Then i had my mum guive me a lecture on how it needed soil and sun and water to grow.

I used to believe that if you swallowed a watermelon seed and drank water, a watermelon would grow in your belly.

One thing my older brothers used tell me was that the beans in pork and beans were actually little skins filled with mashed potatoes. That factories had little hooks on assembly lines with the skins hanging and they would be filled with mashed potatoes. I would peel my beans at dinner and it certainly looked like mashed potatoes so it made sense to me.

When I was a kid the most popular dessert to order in fancy restaurants was Chocolate Mousse. The first time I ate it had pieces of what I now know was chocolate. As I ate it I was convinced they were actual pieces of moose.

My dad has a big birthmark on his back. Since my little brother doesnt eat his crust, my dad told him that when he was little, all the crusts he didnt eat bit him one night and gave him this "bunyun bite". Matt was in shock, I was laughing hysterically. He eats his crust now.

Chocolate cake has chocolate in it. Carrot cake contains carrot. At a birthday party, I was really enjoying a slice of cake and asked the birthday child's mother what sort of cake it was. She said "sponge cake". I didn't eat the rest. I didn't know whether it was made from sea sponges or kitchen sponges, but neither seemed very appetising.

when I was little my granpa would tell us to eat our green beans because they would grow hair on our chest. I would eat them like crazy because I figured that must be something I wanted. Im glad it didnt work because Im a girl!!

When I was a kid I was eating an apple and turned away for a second when my dad sneaked up and put scotch tape on the apple. I still believe till this day that there is tape inside apples.

when i was of the age 0-7 i thought broccili were trees....

I used to believe believe that the bottle Mrs. Butterworth syrup came in was a real person. I wouldn't let my parents buy any other syrup for years and often talked to her as I ate my pancakes.

I used to believe that elephant ears (the food) where made out of real elephants ears! I was disgusted when my mother offered me one

i used to believe that if eat a seed or the top of a strawberry the plant would grow inside you ! and by the time I was 5 I thought I had a whole jungle in my stomach

In 5th grade my best friend told me if I ate mashed potatoes for a meal without eating anything else, i would shrink. Her dad was a doctor so I believed everything she told me. For years I was terrified to eat mashed potatoes at all.

When I was a young tyke my mom's friend took me to a pizza place to eat. The workers there were kneading the dough and, noticing my amazed interest at it, someone gave me a little ball of dough that I made into a little dough pizza. On the car ride home I played with that dough, and finally ate it. We lived in the mountains at the time, and my mom's friend told me that I shouldn't have eaten that, because dough expands at high altitude, and it would expand in my stomach and I would explode. I cried the rest of the way home until he finally admitted he had been joking.

My dad used to warn me that if I swallowed watermelon seeds, a tree would sprout out the top of my head!

i used to think if you swallowed bubble gum it would take 5 years to digest and it would get burnt by the acid in your body.
