I thought Marshmallows were a fungus becuase I confused them with Mushrooms. I have learned to enjoy mushrooms but still don't like Marshmallows...

I used to believe…

My grandparents told us if you sprinkled salt on a bird's tail, it would follow you home. Of course this was family lore intended to get us out of the house.

There is a really cute picture of my cousin and I, both about 3, out in the tall grass of the 'back 40' holding cut-glass salt shakers, intently looking for birds.

I used to believe that bread crust had more vitamins in it than the rest of the loaf. My dad said so, and afterward, i never asked him to cut off my crust anymore.

I used to be afraid of eating bread crusts after my dad mentioned it gave you a hairy chest. My parents could never figure out why I got so upset when someone served me a sandwich with the things still attached.

When i was younger i used to think that those balls with bubble bath in were sweets and my sister ate them too so i copied her. I always thought too my self they aren't really that nice!

I used to believe that as I ate food, I filled up, and that once I filled up completely, I would die.

I used to think milk was really called ' moo juice' as it was what my family called it. Imagine my suprise when I learned to read and discovered our local store only sold milk!

i used to believe that meat loaf was made of buffalo meat

When I was little, I believed making things "out of scratch" (such as baked goods) meant you thought really hard about what you wanted and scratched the air and it would appear after awhile. I tried it a couple times too.

I used to believe that limes were baby lemons. I would pick the little "limes" off of the lemon tree for food. I was 21 when I found out that they were not the same fruit.

When I was little I used to believe that if I ate the black seeds in a watermelon a water melon would grow in my stomach, thus came the pregnant women haha

I used to love chocolate ricies, my nanny at the time told me that if i ate them i would get brown skin, so i never ate them again.

I used to believe that in the middle of string cheese there was an actual string and I didn't want to eat it. One day I pulled it all apart without eating it. When I didn't find a string I asked my parents where it was and why I couldn't find it.

I used to think croutons were hard chicken.

I used to believe…

When 5 years old we had a toaster which had a dial with a light brown to dark brown guide around the knobs to change how long it toasted for. I thought this was an accurate guide to the colour the toast would be, so I carefully adjusted the dial and toasted it only to find burnt toast. I would then put the same toast back in and change the dial to lighter thinking the toast would become whiter.
I repeated this process until the toaster caught fire.

I thought broccoli came from the tops of carrots because that's what bugs bunny's carrots looked like.
