Food:

My family used to (and still do, if truth be told) call Garibaldi biscuits 'Dead Fly Biscuits' Like a little fool, I thought they really did contain dead flies - tasty though!

when i was in grade school i used to belive the lunch ladys made the ham and meat out of naugty chilldren. and the maionas was umm, how should i put this, they thought it was spurm.

When I was about 5 a neighbor told me that if I continued to eat the watermelon seeds that a watermelon would grow in my stomach. From this comment I was convinced that eating watermelon was how a woman became pregnant. I still won't eat watermelon to this day.

When I was little just to scare me my dad told me that eggs were liquid chickens. I was terrified to eat them because I was eating a baby chicken to make it worse my grandpa told me chickens would hatch in my stomache. I still can't eat them.

I used to believe…

the moment i realized that spaghetti and sauce were two separate things, that was my first childhood epiphany. a natural skeptic, though, i insisted on observing my mother prepare it because i couldn't believe those brown twiggy things were actually floppy red spaghetti.

my mom used to tell me not to eat watermelon seeds or there would be a tree growing inside me. i believed her and didn't eat/swallow the seeds. it's a myth and i eat/swallow them all the time, now.

i used to believe that black coffee would make black hair grow on my chest. i got this from a cousin who said that's what happened to one of our aunts who had a little extra facial hair!

i used to believe that if i didn't eat all my vegetables that those thrown away would get lonely. if i didn't eat them all, i would leave an even number, so each would have a companion if they got split up.

i was always told if you eat watermelon seeds you will grow will grow a watermelon in your stomach

When I was little, my brother and sister and I believed that if you tore the processed cheese when removing the plastic covering, that slice was bad and should be thrown away.

When I was about three, my older brother would point at the cookie jar and ask if he could have two. I therefore thought that a cookie was called a "two".

My father told me that the special sauce on a McDonald's Big Mac came from Ronald McDonald blowing his nose (and that it why his nose was so red). I am now 29 and I still will not eat them.

When we were kids, my mother, in order to make us 3 kids behave, told us that if we were bad in public we would be sent to the "cookie house". My belief was that there was this strange little house that bad kids went to live if they misbehaved. This was a horrible little place where kids were given nothing but rock hard black cookies to eat. I even went as far as to believe that the "cookie house" was a small shed that stood in a park in my hometown (the shed was made into a "Santa House" at Christmas - so I thought that all the bad kids were moved only at Christmas time). Strange how this story scared us enough to make us all behave while out with mom!

I used to believe that if I didn't eat all of my green beans, the beans left behind would be sad, because their family was in my tummy, so I would force myself to eat them all so that they wouldn't be separated.

At school, when I was 6 or 7, we used to get a whole kiwi in our lunch and I would be the only one out of my friends to eat it, so what my friends told me was if I keep eating them I would get hair on my chest.

My dad used to tell me that if you rubbed chicken fat on your chest you'd grow hair. He also said that if you gargle your milk you'll grow up to be a midget. I believed him until i was 6 or 7
