I'm a tea lover and when I first met my now husband he wouldn't touch the stuff.
When he was a child his mother told him tea was a woman's drink and if boys drank it, it shrunk their wee-wee's!! Poor thing, there he was 20 years old and he still believed it!

When my brother was about 3 or 4, he would get angry and cry every time my mom asked him if he wanted grilled cheese to eat. We never understood why until one day during one of his crying fits he screamed "I DONT WANT GIRL CHEESE, I WANT BOY CHEESE"
Apparently we offended his budding masculinity by offering him the 'girl' cheese. In my house it was thereafter referred 2 as 'boy cheese for the boy, and girl cheese for the girls'.

I used to believe that if you ate too much cheese you would turn into a mouse. My cousins only told me that to make me stop eating cheese because I definetly ate too much cheese.

I used to believe that if you swallow a watermelon seed and then drink water you would grow a watermelon in your stomach.

My elder sister used to believe, when she was 5 or so, that white cows gave out white milk, brown cows gave out chocolate milk, pink cows gave out strawberry milk, etc., and that by eating the right coloured grass you would turn into a cow of that colour and start giving out milk. She used to eat grass covered in mud at primary school in an attempt to turn into a brown cow. Needless to say it never worked.

I was told that Hubba Bubba and Bubbalicious contained spider's eggs and that's what made it so crackly and poppable. EW- I still hate gum.

i used to think that the red colourin gon Smarties was made from Beatles blood. In fact, I still do!!

I used to think the reason people cried when they cut onions was because the onions were alive and who ever was cutting them was killing them.

I also thought the reason we praid before a meal (with onions in it) was TO pay our respect to the onions!

Kiedy byłam małą dziewczynką myślałam ze jak zjem wisienkę z pestką to urośnie mi drzewko w brzuszku i uszami bedą wychodzić mi liście, a jak bede starsza to wyrośnie mi korzeń z pupy i nie bede mogła się ruszać tylko mnie gdzieć posadzą.

My Mum used to tell me to "eat all my dinner - just think of the starving children in Africa, they'd be very grateful to have your dinner." So I got quite confused when I was told off for not finishing what was on my plate because I thought that what I left would go to the starving children in Africa.

I used to no ear cotton candy because I thought that I was eating the angels clouds. If I then ate their clouds where would the angels live?

I used to believe that all things that tasted minty (Gum, peppermints) worked just as well to clean your teeth as mouthwash did.

Where I come from you can buy bags of ice cubes from the supermarket. they were called polarbear ice cubes, for years i believed they were little blocks of frozen polar bear.

When I was little my grandfather told me the pulp in orange juice was fly wings. I lived in Hawaii so everyday at school I would catch as many flies as I could and pull their wings off so they couldn't put them in the orange juice anymore. I remember having flies running around my desk before they eventually died because I had pulled off their wings, but it was better than having to drink them in the juice.

when i was in 2nd grade someone told me that if you ate those hard pretzels with cheese inside you would turn into a dog and i believed it so i neevr ate them. Then someone else told me that Pistacios made you pregnant. lol i believed that too.
