food

When I was younger, I used to think that the food samples displayed on the packs of pots and pans were included in the package.

My mother always told me that if I didn't eat my vegetables that I wouldn't grow or get any bigger. So everytime I saw a dwarf I would think that they hadn't eaten their vegetables. Until one day I pointed it out to my mom right in front of him. My mom scolded me and told him she was sorry.

My Mom told me to drink my milk because it would put hair on my chest. Once I realized that females shouldn't have hairy chests, I quit drinking milk! Of course, I realized that I didn't want a hairy chest WAY before I realized that my Mom was pulling my leg!

Like any other little kid, I used to believe that brussels-sprouts were tiny baby cabbages, and I still call them like that. And that chewing gum would glue to your stomach if you swallowed it. And, worst of all, that bowling ball were made out of coconuts, like in Flinstones.

I thought everyone who went to a bar would get their own bowl of peanuts or popcorn, like on Cheers. I was disappointed when I turned 21.

As children we were told by my step-father that the parsley flakes in Lipton chicken noodle soup were boogers. To this day, (40 years later), my entire family refers to it as "Booger Soup"!

When I was a kid I had an obsession with chewing gum. My mother trying to get me to quit chewing gum told me that gum was made out of elephant Buggers, so I stoped chewing gum.... for years

I believed that the mushy brown bits in bananas were good for you as my mum obviously thought this would encourage me to eat the whole thing without fuss. It wasn't until I heard myself repeating this as fact as an adult that I realised they were just bruises and I'd been duped.

Because I often saw my mother removing them, but never paid attention when she put them in....
I believed that french fries or "chips" for you brits came from the broiler part of the oven and if you waited a week or so there would be some in there to eat.
I recall once my mother said we had nothing to eat and I suggested that she check to see if there were any french fries in the broiler.

i used to believe that pimentos (as in pimento-cheese) were little fish, like anchovies. Consequently, i never ate pimento-cheese until i found out differently.

To get me to eat my food my mom assiged qualities to each food. Spinach - made you strong like Popeye. Carrots - made you see good in the dark. Peas - made you hear good.

When I was about 5 i believed all my chocolate easter eggs came from my uncles farm as he kept hens. Every year, amazingly, a cadburys cream egg would be left in one of the coups for me to find. It was only when I was 7 or 8 I realized it was planted there by my uncle! You can probably imagine the disapointment.

My grandfather told me that chocolate milk came from brown cows.

MY GIRLFRIEND CAME FROM THE OLD ITALIAN FAMILY AND HER MOTHER TOLD HER NOT TO EAT THE END OF THE BANANAS BECAUSE THATS WHERE THE BIG SPIDERS TOOK THEIR BITES.

When i was little I used to think eating bugs was the only way to be cool in front of my friends. I found out eventually that this was not true. Eating bugs is not cool, it's just plain wrong.

My mom told me that if I swallowed my chewing gum, I'd have gum trees growing out of my ears. I kept sticking my fingers in my ears, hoping to feel the branches emerging.
