food

I used to believe that mountain dew was pee. probably because my brother's told me they wrung out my bed, and that's where mountain dew came from.

When I was in the 3rd grsde I used to think that if you swallowed a seed when eating an orange, a tree would grow out of your mouth.
I never ate oranges.

When I was little I went to this toy store and bought some mexican jumping beans. Well when you open those up they have little larvas in them, which look like caterpillars. So I asked my dad were there beans in ALL caterpillars? And he said yes. So until this day I do not eat beans of any kind.

when i was little i some1 told me that there was a specific number of black watermelon seeds you could swallow ( i think it was 3) after that you would choke and die.

I moved to the USA when I was a kid and had to learn english on my own. I didn't understand much about what was going on around me. Lunch time was hell because I was on my own. I knew what a jelly fish was, but I didn't know that 'jelly' by itself meant something. I thought for months that peanut butter and jelly sandwiches served at the school cafeteria were actually peanut butter and jelly fish sandwiches. Needless to say I brought my own lunch on these days.

I used to believe that brown cows made chocolate milk

i heard just like everybody else that if you eat seeds then a watermelon would grow inside of you. but whenever i ate the seeds nothing happened and, needless to say, i was very dissapointed.

My brother used to tell me that refried beans came from letting cows eat the beans and then scraping it out of the cows stomach and canning it. They had to kill the cows to get the beans out. Weird, I know.

when i was younger i used to believe that you had to eat the chocolate bunnies ears off first so it couldnt hear you eating the rest of it. then of course you had to eat the eyes, so it couldnt see, then the legs so it couldnt hop away when it go scared. of course i dont believe this now but i still eat my chocolate bunnies in this particular order.

my grandma once told me that if i swallowed my chewing gum it would rap around my heart and kill me. and wehn i was about 11 my teacher caught me chewing gum and told me to swallow it, i started crying and my friends have nenver stopped going on about it! :-)

When I was little I would never eat Gushers. You know those gummy juice bites that were sometimes sour. Well on the commercial all the kids that ate them, there heads would turn into the tipe of fruit that the gusher was. At lunch everyday i was offered gushers, i never ate them because i figured I wouldnt be able to be in school anymore. So one lunch my friend dared me to try one, so i did. They were really yummy. But after that (mind over matter) i got a stomach ache and went home sick that day. I never ate a gusher again till i was 10, it was the "cool" thing to do.

When I was about 2 my cousin who was about 9 told me that if I ate the pointy ends of french fries, I would choke on them and die instantly. I now know that isn't true after a humiliating incident and swallowing one without biting off the end first and told everyone I was dying and to call 911. I still can't break the habit of breaking off the ends of the fries. Man I love my cousin.

i used to believe that eggs used to come from humans.

When I was about 3 my cousin, about 5, told me that if I ate the dharp ends on french fries, they would choke me and I would die. I believed that until I was about 8. Now I am in my teens and I know that isn't true but I can't break the habit of pulling off the sharp ends. This can really cause a kid to be hungry when you eat at McDonalds.

I used to believe that if you swallowed bubble gum you would die immediately.

I can remember telling my dad that when i was "grown up" i could eat nuts, to me "grown up" was about 6years old, as i'd need my teeth to be strong and in my head, that was when that happened!
I tried one walnut and I hated it. :) i guess being grown up doesn't mean you automatically like nuts.
