I used to think that pistachios(the kind still in the shell) were actually little clams! I used to have a whole bunch of "pet clams" that I would play with and talk to. It horrified me whenever I saw my dad eating pistachios!

I used to believe…

swallowing a watermelon seed makes a watermelon grow in your tummy.

I used to believe that when putting black pepper on your food, the pepper would eat at the lining of your stomach. I have no idea what gave me that idea, but someone must have mentioned something to that effect to have me believe this for so very long.

Until very recently, I believed that pickles were cucumbers that had gone bad. I'm 22. A few years before that, I thought they were a separate veggie that grew on their own, until a family member corrected me otherwise. My friends and fiance has not let me live it down since!

When I was a little kid, I saw the Cap'n Crunch commercial where the kids eat the crunchberries and their heads turn into giant crunchberries. I was positive that if i ate the cereal, i would get a giant crunchberry head too, so every time i saw it in the store, I avoided it like the plague.

I was driving down a road and we passed a farm with brown cows.I looked and asked my dad does chocolate milk come from brown cows he said yes a few months later I told my friends they said no it does not then i asked him again he said no then i scearmed at him...

Once when my mom was at the dentist and there was this guy with HORIBLE teeth, and he was sitting next to me when i was chewing my gum, and he told me that gum was made from a cats toung, and i believed and spit it out right that second, and when we were leaving i told my mom what he had said and she said it was true, i was devestated! lol

I thought that if you put peanuts in the blender, you would get peanut blender. So, I learned two things, one, that that is, in fact, untrue, and two, that peanuts will break the blender.
Also I thought that if you stirred milk long enough and fast enough that your would eventually get butter. I got bored after ten minutes of trying and decided that I wasn't "cut out" for the dairy world.

When i was little my brother told me that if you ate one of those everlasting gobstoppers and you didn't bite it until it was a tiny little piece, it would grow back to normal size because it was "everlasting".
I believed him for years... : (

I used to think that women drank coffee and men drank tea.
This is bthat's what my mum and dad did.
I also thought that women smoked cigrettes and men smoked cigars. Couldn't find a section for this though

In fifth grade my teacher had this thing to motivate us before a test. She would give us smarties to help us get smarter. Well I know it sounds weird, but when she gave them to us everyone would pass the test, and if she didn't no one would. So to this day (i'm in college) I eat smarties before a test. lol

When me and my cousin were little we had a problem with eating watermelon, because we ate the seeds too. So one day at a family get together, they decided to tell us that if we ate the seeds that watermellons would grow in our belly's. My cousin still to this day (were 19) won't eat watermelon seeds.

I used to believe that the old tan M&Ms tasted different than all other M&Ms. I would eat M&Ms, but every time I tried a tan one, thinking maybe I'd gotten a bad one last time, I hated it. Needless to say, I was happy when they replaced them with the blue ones.

I used to think that germs travelled up metal cutlery, the way heat does, into your food and thatwas why we need to wash our hands.

They still say today that swallowing chewing Gum makes it stay in you for seven years. If that was the case id be nothing but GUM!

I used to think that wedding cakes were just a fake decoration especially made for a wedding, with a miniture bride and groom on top of it. I believed it because everytime I went to the country club with my parents, outside the reception ball room there is always a fake wedding cake that advertises for wedding receptions and chefs that can make personalised wedding cakes, and everytime I asked if I was allowed to eat it I would be told, "No, it's fake."
