food

When I was little, my mom would tell me that if I swallowed chewing gum, my stomach would stick together.

When I was little, my mom and aunt used to tell me if I ate black watermelon seeds I would grow a flower on my head.
They also said the same thing to me when they found out I ate a sheet of paper. I was so scared.

I was eating a huge slice of watermelon when I was small and as I took a bite, lost my first loose tooth. I was so shocked about losing my tooth that I swallowed one of the big black seeds by accident. I told my dad and he said that I was going to grow a watermelon inside my tummy! I was so scared about how I would get it out too--whether I would have to have surgery or if I would have to poop out a big watermelon! I believed him for the longest time.

i used to think that you were hallow inside, and when you eat the food went all the way down your toes and when you felt full, it meant the food was filled up to your neck.

When I was 3 or 4, my older cousin told me that the spaghetti type noodles in the soup I was eating weren't really noodles, but cat intestines. I believed her, but it didn't really stop me from eating them... it was tasty, after all.

My friend revealed to me that when she was little, she once asked her dad what those advertising columns are for, and he told her they are used to store sauerkraut inside them. She believed that until she was about 15 or 16.

I used to believe…

that coffee had to go into thick cups and tea in thin cups. This is because tea is thinner than coffee!

By the way, I am now thirty and I still believe this!! I just found out today that this isn't correct!!!

I accedently swallowed a watermelon seed on time when i was about 5 and my sister and brother both convinced me it would grow inside of me, and get bigger and bigger until the green leaves came out my nose and my ears and my mouth, and eventually I would die. And there would be a perfectly good watermelon inside of me! EW!

I remember when one of my elementary school friends came over and said that the sunflower seeds in our whole wheat bread were buggers. I continue to avoid bread containing sunflower seeds.

When I was 5 my family and I hand gone to a wedding. We stopped in at Arby's and my mom got a us each a milkshake. I was horrified when my mom drove away and began drinking hers. On TV when they talked about drinking and driving I thought it meant anything. My mom said that was only for adult drinks.

Dessert gelatin called Jello in the US was a nice treat that my mom would make my sister and me. I loved Jello except for the green Jello cause my sister told me that it was alive and that when tried to eat it it would scream and try to eat me back. I would cry and run from the table. Then I found out years later that she did this cause she wanted my dessert.

When I was younger, I used to think that if you swallowed a fruit seed it would grow in your stomach, so I cried when I accidently swallowed a watermelon seed. I believed it until I was 10.

i used to think that colonel sander's (the kfc guy's) bow tie was his arms and legs, so he looked to me like a big head with little stick-man arms and legs

i used to belive that if you ate too many chips youd turn into one

When I was little I thought that when you had chicken pox, they were icecream bars with bits of chicken in them, and I always wondered why I couldnt have them too

I was about 11 and my family went to have dinner with my parents' friends. The other family had a boy about 5. We were served 'Au Gratin' Potatoes. Sounded good to me, but the little boy did not want to eat them. His Mama said, "They are good! Try them." The Little Boy then said, "Mama,please don't make me eat, OLD ROTTEN POTATOES!!!!"

I didn't want him to eat them either.
