When I was about 3 or 4 , my papa told me that if you planted a plain Cheere-o in the ground, that you would be able to grow a Doughnut Tree. I beleived him until I was about 7, when I tried it and it didn't work.

when i was a little girl i always loved to steal raw dough from my mother, when she was baking cakes or cookies. one day, i think i was 5 or 6 years old then, me and my father went for a walk. on the streets we saw a very fat man and my father told me that the man was so fat because he must have eaten raw yeast dough, which then has risen inside of him. from that moment on, i was really scared of yeast dough and i never ate a bit of this dangerous stuff. until today i like to nibble at raw dough - but yeast dough? no thanks!

Eating food from a different ethnicity will alter your genes so that your race will change to that ethnicity within 24 hours.
An older neighborhood kid told me that if I ate a styrofoam packing peanut, my head would crack in half. For the longest time I was afraid of accidentally ingesting one of them.

I USED TO BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU ATE WATERMELON WITH THE SEEDS STILL IN IT A WATERMELON WOULD GROW IN YOUR BELLY!!
my sister once told me that my eyeballs expelled air, so if i were to chew up some bubblegum and place it over my eye and blink a whole bunch, i could blow a bubble. i thought that would be the coolest thing ever so i tried it... needless to say, i had gum stuck in my eyelashes, and eyebrows for days... i will never forgive her for that...
When I was little, in my first day of reception class, I had cress for part of my salad. There were some seeds in it, and this other little kid told me they were ladybirds and told over me for eating ladybirds!
When I was little, I told my younger brother (four years younger than me) than pork comes from a pig, and ham comes from a hamster. He believed me, and even got into an argument with his friend, who was convinced that they both came from a pig. If this was so, he argued, why did they have different names?

I used to believe if I ate Watermelon seeds that I would grow a watermelon in my stomach so I didn't eat a watermelon for like 3 years!
My mum always told me I should never eat the core of an apple, and for ages I believed this was because the pips would sprout inside my stomach and I'd have an apple tree growing out of the top of my head.
When I was a kid I'd read the backs of boxes for the USDA servign sizes and nutrients. I thought it was like medicine, so if the serving size was four cookies, and I'd have five, I'd worry I'd poisoned myself.

I thought that Elmer's Glue was OK to eat because it said "Borden" on the label, showed a cow (actually a bull) on the label, and it was white like milk.
When I was in preschool, I was super gullible. My older sister always hated milk so one night at supper, I asked her why she hated milk. She said that she wouldn't drink it because in it were cow bones so small you coudn't see them. I wouldn't drink milk for a month.
I used to believe (entirely of my own accord) that if you ate water chestnuts and then drank water, a giant white rooted plant would grow in your stomach. I still can't stand those things.
When I was a little fella, my best mate and I used to play that game "Lemmings" on the sega. And for those of you that havn't played that game, the Lemmings use things like picks and bombs and such things. So my friend realised that we didn't know what the white bits (coconut) was on a Lamington. We thought they were Lemmings and became afraid to eat them cause we thought that the Lemmings would dig out our insides.
I used to believe pinto beans were things that came from inside someone's ear so they could hear. One day in school I started talking to one, thinking someone could actually hear me.
When I was a little my dad told me that if I swallowed the seeds from watermelons then watermelons would grow inside my tummy...I believed him.
I used to think that every time my mom made a cake (even if it was just for us to have for dessert), it was someone's birthday. So every time my mom made a cake, I'd dub it someone's birthday, usually one of the cats or one of my stuffed animals.
