I was a big fan of freezies when I was a child, and would always ask my mother for one when she had a free moment. The thing was, I never really learned what they were called, and instead of my mother telling me what to call them, I made up the name 'bagels' in place of the word 'freezie'. One day, my mother had friends over and I tugged on her sleeve, asking for a 'bagel'. Needless to say, it shocked my mother's friends when she reached into the freezer and pulleed out an icepop instead of an actual bagel. I thought nothing of it, and now to this day, at 20 years old, myself, my mother, my brother and my grandmother all call them bagels.

I always used to think that 7 up(the drink) was called Zup(well thats what it looks like on the can!)and always got confused when going round people's houses what 7 up was,lol.I was so embarrassed when I asked someone if i could hav a sip of their zup :s

My mother told me to eat the peels of the apples because that's where the vitamins are. Apparently other children's mothers have told them this as well. For a long time I believed the tiny spots on apple and pear peels were actual vitamins, akin to a crushed-up children's chewable vitamin somehow embedded in the peel.

When I was young my Grandma told me that eating to many pickled onions would stunt my growth. So I was frightened to death of touching them, because I was only 3 foot at the time and did not what to stay that way. Everything has worked out I am 6.1 and love eating pickles. My idea is that I don’t want to grow any taller, so I must be safe to eat then now. Thanks Granny

When I was little, my parents used to put cucumber cubes in my tuna sandwiches. I didn't like cucumbers so they told me they were sugar cubes. I believed them until the age of 10 when I asked a friend's mom to put sugar cubes in my tuna sandwich.

i watched this movie call mask with jim carrey and in one scene this guy shot him and he had bullet holes in him so when he took a sip of a drink it poured out of the bullet holes, when i saw this i was afraid to drink something thinking my whole body would get holes

My dad told me once that the reason that Kentucky Fried Chicken only had popcorn chicken every once in a while was because they saved up all the leftover chicken parts and breading all year and then made popcorn chicken with them when they got enough. I believed him for years.

When I was younger I used to like the top of the yogurt pot. One day I accidentally ate a pieace, convinced I was going to die I tryed for hours to make it come out the other end.

I used to believe that if you ate the black seeds from watermelon a watermelon would grow in your stomach and I thought that was what happened to pregnant women.

I think it was Tom & Jerry, but it may have been some other cartoon with a cat & mouse where the cat always told the mouse he was going to make mince meat out of him. Well, one Christmas my mom said she was going to make mince meat pie. I said "There's no way I'm going to eat a pie made out of mice!"

when i was a little kid my mom tried everything to get me to eat egg salad sandwiches. she finally decided to tell me that only older people liked them, and that they were often called "high-school sandwiches" because of their raging popularity among the hig-school kids. needless to say, i was convinced, and eventually grew to love the high-school sandwich. unfortunately, i was quite embarrassed when was informed (in my 20's no less) that the name was merely a ploy used by my mom to get a gullible young boy to eat his food. i was still using the term at the time of my disturbing discovery.

I used to believe that when you put salt onto your dinner it would cool it down, so I put loads of salt on mine!!! YUCH!!

I remember when i was in year 3 that my friend told me at dinner time that the school mash was made out spider legs and thats why it was ss lumpy. Never again did i eat school mash even when i found out he was lying.

When I was little my parents used to make me toast, use cookie cutters to cut it into interesting shapes, and then put butter, jelly, or peanut butter on the shapes...it was easy to make and I was a really finicky kid.

Anyway, one day my mom accidentally put peanut butter *and* butter on a piece of toast - I didn't expect it and I guess I had a weird reaction. My dad asked what was wrong and I told him about the peanut butter-butter combination, and he exclaimed "poison!" Now I realize he just meant that it didn't sound like a particularly appetizing mix, but then I thought he meant it was *actually* poison. I started crying *really* loudly because I thought I was going to die.

I remember I was like only 4 and my 2 teenage aunts were twin sisters and were always chewing gum and i wanted it and they didn't let me and sed "gum is 4 girls" and one time i was at a barber shop with my dad and the barber asked me if i wanted sum gum and i said "no!! gum is for girls" and years l8r i was old enuf 4 gum

When I was young my Dad and I would always stop at the neighborhhod deli and he would buy pickles that were kept in a large wooden barrel. My Dad told me the reason the pickles had such a strong taste was because the deli owners would wash their feet in the barrel! I still hate pickles to this day.
