food

When I was young I thought than if you ate grapes with seeds in them you would get grapes growing in your tummy.

i used to think that if u swallowed the seeds in fruit a tree would grow in your belly.

I used to think that tassles, for some reason, were edible, until one day at a thrift shop, my mother caught me chewing on the tassles of a used military jacket. I was scolded, and my theory was debunked.

I used to believe that chewing gum was lethal. When I was a kid, my mom always used to tell my older sister not to give me chewing gum because I might swallow it and die (choke on it). So when anyone did give me chewing gum on the sly, I was always paranoid about swallowing my spit as I thought that the gum created some sort of poisonous juices in my mouth that would kill me.

Up until I was about 7 or 8, I would never eat chocolate with peppermint in, because on the chocolate rappers they'd always have pictures of the mint leaves, and I was always taught that eating plant leaves was dangerous or deadly.

My friend told me if you eat more than 3 Lyches, you would vomit.

As a 'treat' on holidays, my parents would buy chocolate spread for me to have on my bread. As of this, I made myself think that chocolate spread was sold only during summer.

My mother recently reminded me that early on spring I had expressed how I was looking forward to the summer holidays, when the chocolate spread came back to the supermarket shelves...

When I was little, I used to beleive that those white mushrooms you buy at the store would make me grow big like they did Mario in the video games. I knew the ones in the yard weren't good though.

I realized in college that the expression, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" was also misunderstood by some of my classmates.

Me - "Doctors are scared of apples that if you give one to them, they'll run away."

Rae - "Doctors like apples so much that if you give one to them, they'll skip work."

Peter Sia - "Kids are scared of doctors. Bribe an apple to the doctor when you're at the hospital and he'll leave you alone."

My father and uncles were quite the pranksters and they had my sister and I believing that brown cows give chocolate milk until I was 10yrs. Our own children fall for that joke even now. Guillable genes?

My neighbor died of stomach cancer, but it was described to me at the age of 5 or 6 as "something growing inside of her." Thus, I envisioned cancer as a plant that kept growing inside of you until it killed you.

From then on, I was very careful about eating watermellon, apples, or anything else that might put a seed into my stomach and cause a plant to grow!

When I was 4 i always believed that the brocolli would jumpoff the plate and eat me and today im still scared

I used to believe…

That when my mother would open the pilsbury dough cans that the pilsbury dough boy would appear and then he would go down the drain. My parents had fun keeping this belief alive for years.

When I was little I used to believe that chocolate milk came from brown cows. I was so sure of this that I brought it up as a fact during a 1st grade trip to a farm.

i used to believe that tapioca was fish eggs or fish eyes. one of my grandfathers had said that it was fish eggs while the other said fish eyes. it didnt matter to me because either way it sounded gross. so ive never in my life tried tapioca because every time i see it, i think fish eyes and fish eggs and i immediately lose my appetite...

I used to believe that if you drank a soda with your popcorn, your stomach would swell up and try to force it back out. Believed it for a while too. Now I know better.
