I thought that the pimiento inside a cocktail olive actually grew in there naturally, like a pit or a seed. I didn't know that it was a piece of a pepper that was stuffed in there in a factory. I knew that it was possible to buy olives with no pimientos, but I figured the pimientos had just been removed because some people like them and others don't.

My favourite olives today are the ones that grow with a clove of garlic in the middle. ;)

I used to believe…

Duck Sauce from Chinese restaurants... for many years as a child I had belief and refused to eat it, based on the fact that my father told me it was duck..poo.

I used to believe…

as a child my dad always told me that mcdonalds burgers were made of saw dust and there chicken nuggets were made of chicken butts. its didnt stop me from eating at mc donalds though.

I used to believe…

my family was eating watermelons and i accidentically ate the seed and i was like dad i ate a seed and he's like omg no you can't do that because then a watermelon would be growing in your stomach now and i believed that for a while and he said the same thing for all fruits.

I used to believe…

when i was younger my mom and i would eat crabs together, I was told that the white spongy looking meat that was on the inner shell before you could get to the real meat was called the dead man, i actually thought a man got inside all crabs and died there, i guess she just didnt want me to eat that part of the crab!!

I thought that onion rings were made of jellyfish probably becasue the restuarant had jellyfhish in a tank and i ate onion rings that day. lol thats why i refuse to eat onion rings today still

I used to believe that my parents swallowed the toothpaste after they brushed their teeth because I never saw them spit it out. So one day I brushed my teeth and swallowed all the toothpaste in my mouth, and said "Mom! I swallowed the toothpaste like you and dad!" and she told me if I did it again she was going to have to call Poison Control. I never did it again.

I used to believe…

When i was little my brother told me the moon was made out of cheese.....and being the little moron i was, i believed it.

I used to believe that nobody in the world ate artichokes except for my family. I was practically raised on the things, we'd have them for dinner a lot but I never heard about or saw my friends eating them, so I concluded that my family had discovered artichokes and nobody else knew about them.

I used to believe…

when i was about 5 years old, we had some goldfish... my dad thought it would be funny if he pretended to eat 1, so he quickly threw a carrot into the fish tank, and picked it back out and ate it (i thought it was a fish) and up to this day, whenever i have carrots, and i put them in my mouth, he shouts "FISH" and it makes me feel realy sick!!!

I used to believe…

As a child, I believed that salt was used to cool stuff down (I think it was because it looked like little pieces of ice or something). One day, my older cousin came to visit. I always looked up to her and I was constantly trying to show how mature and smart I was. My mom made us eggs and I took a bite and said, "Those are way too hot!" and added salt. I did this about 5 times until I basically had more salt than eggs. Then my cousin laughed and said, "You don't put salt on stuff to make it cool down, you put it on food to make it taste better." My "cool smart" persona, not to mention my breakfast, was ruined.

I used to believe that if you ate the candy, gushers, your head would turn into the fruit that the flavour was. Once i ate one for the first time and my mom tricked me and said that my head was a watermelon. Unfortunately for me, there were no mirrors around so I could'nt see.

I used to believe…

My friend told me you have to drink milk to get boobs LOOL

I used to believe that it was every vegetables destiny to be eaten so I couldn't leave a carrot on my plate or it would be sad. I couldn't eat just one pea or one broccoli piece either because they would die alone so I would eat even numbers of veggies so everyone would have a friend to go down with.

I used to believe…

my older brother convinced me that the moon was made of cheese, and if i jumped high enough i could land on it, and the reason the moon could float in space was because it was super light, in fact, it was so light you could blow it towards the sun, melt all of the cheese, and make the BIGGEST bowl of nachos ever.

I used to believe that when I swallowed my gum,it would take seven years to dissolve in my stomach!! But I wouldn't believe it IF my uncle didn't tell me-He even promised that it was true!!!
