food

You have seen the package of Kellogs`s corn flakes, the one with the rooster with the small, red "beard"? Well, I thought that the corn flakes were made of the rooster`s "red beard".

If I was bad as a children mum said: DO you want me to hit you. I always thought that meant that she would give me bad food.

I used to believe that the little brown squiggles you got in biscuits were actually flies. I think I was about 15 before I found out they were actually raisins.

i used to believe that food that had "best before" printed on it, was a product that they used to make better in the old days. never quite understood why they decided on the decrease in quality, and still being honest enough to print it on the package.

I used to believe that salt was used to cool food down, and pepper to make it hotter. I guess that this arose from someone telling me that pepper was hot. Anyway, i believed it until I was at least 5. Sad!

We believed that if we didn't finish our meals we would get the remaining food for enemas. Needless to say, we always ate everything.

I didn't want to taste M&Ms at a birthday party, but my parents made me, and I found out that I liked them. I liked the red and yellow ones, but there were green and black ones too. Green and black were "boy-colors", so they were disgusting, and probably poisonous for girls.

when I was little my uncle told me that if I ate the brown bits in bananas I would get cancer. He also told me to hold my breath when I went under power lines, or I would also get cancer.

When I was very young,on Thanksgiving, my parents would always give the "butt" part of the turkey, but tell me that it was the "turkey's nose" and that it was given to only special people. And I was all excited. It would be a couple years later that I would "put two and two together" and remember that turkeys have beaks and get their heads cut off before it's cooked. So it couldn't have been a "nose"...and my brother cheerfully told me I was eating TURKEY BUTT...and I was all upset.

because my dad didn't want to share his oysters with us, he told my sister and i if we ate them they would crawl back up our throats and out our mouths when we went to sleep. we didn't eat oysters for years

My grandfather told me that eating baked beans gave you curly hair. He also told me that if you don't eat the crusts on your bread, that your teeth will fall out.
Nice guy, huh?

I was told my my mom that drinking tea or coffee would make your nose grow crooked. I still don't drink tea to this day... look what happened to Michael Jackson!

My Mum told me, that if I swallowed cherry-pips, they would start to grow inside me and the branches would come out of my ears

at a thanksgiving dinner when i was about six, cousin malcolm told me that bleu cheese (there was bleu cheese salad dressing present) was made, via a complicated and arduous process, from lambs' vomit. i'll eat it, now (i'm 32), but i still think of that every time.

my brother used to believe that Ground Chuck meat was actually groundhog meat.

When I was about 4 years old, my older sister told me that the little black things
in the end of a banana were flies´ eggs, and if I ate them, they would hatch inside my stomach. Because of that, I never ate the bottom part of bananas until I was about 9-10.
