food

i used to believe when u eat gum, it sticks in your veigns, and the next food you eat would just pile up on the web of the gum !
but acctually thats impossible because inside of you its al wet and glidy, the gum just falls trough,

i believed that until i started to think logically

I misheard something my parents said and for years I believed that if you accidentally ate a mussel without removing its "beard" (the fibre it uses to attach itself to rocks) you'd be paralysed from the waist down!!

I didn't dare eat mussels for many years - and I'm still a little wary...

My Dad used to tell me that if I ever swallowed a watermelon seed, a watermelon would grow in my stomach. So whenever I ate watermelon I would stand near the trashcan and pick out the seeds.

when i was in about grade 2 or 3 i ate soo many rasins! one day jokingly my mother said raisins caused cancer beause they dried up in the sun and sun causes cancer..believing her i went to school the next day and at circle time i told my classmates, my teacher assured me and the class that they were not cancer pockets.

i used to think that when you ate food it went into your heart not your intestines

When I was young my father knew how to guarantee that he could have the mince meat pie all to himself. He told my 4 siblings and I that mince meat was really rabbit doo doo. Never tried any, never will.

Up until I was about 6 or 7, I used to think that, instead of entering the prize codes that I would find on my soda bottle caps on the internet, you were supposed to say the code out loud, and the prize would just apper in your hands. I never tried my theory, though, because I thought my parents would be mad, since I thought the prizes would cost money, and the money would dissapear.

My older sister told me that carrot baby food was made by a bunch of old women sitting around chewing carrots and then spitting them into jars. My Mom made a great carrot cake which contained carrot baby food which I would never touch. When asked why, I only replied: Do you know where carrot baby food comes from?!?

I live near a Mcalister's Deli, and one wall of the building was completely covered in mirrors. Every time I would go there, I believed there was another part to the building (the reflection). I never understood why my mom wouldn't take me there. One day, I ventured over to it to see what it was like.
It was then I saw my own reflection.

I was really disapointed, I thought only special people could sit there.

i used to believe that if u swallowed gum it would stay inside of u for about ten years then eventually u would digest it. i dont rememberhow old i was...maybe about 8 or so. heh.

This is not my finest moment, but when I was 9, my best friend and I told her little sister that the seeds inside a banana were actually eggs from a banana spider. She was only 6 at the time and completely believed us. She didn't eat bananas for 3 years. Totally cruel!

I used to belive that if a label said free, like fat "free" or sodium "free" , the company selling the food would pay for all of the fat or sodium in the food. I didnt realize that there was actually no fat in the product and then started to think food companies were cheap telling you they would pay for a portion of the food and not even put it in. I belived this until I was 12.

When I was little, one of my older brother's friends told me that if you swallow gum it will give you diharria! So I went around telling everyone not to swallow their gum. I still kinda believe that too!

When I was little (I can't remember what age) I was told by my parents to "never ever put grapes in the microwave because they'll explode." When I asked if it would be a 'little explosion' (meaning the grape would pop or something) or a 'real explosion' (meaning an enourmous fireball) I was told "a REAL explosion".

Although I know better now, I'm still wary of putting grapes in the microwave :)
