When I was younger, my sister told me that the candies, Smarties, were medicine and that I had to take them with water if I was gonna eat them at all. Now I know better, but I still eat them with water.

I used to believe if I ate gushers my head would turn into a giant fruit (like in the commercials). i finally had them for snack in preschool and I noticed all the other kids were ok so, I decided it was safe.

For some strange reason, I used to believe that whale meat actually was human meat. Once, when I was about six years old, I was invited to dinner at a friend and they had whale for dinner. When her parents asked me if I enjoyed my food I said: "No! I don't eat human flesh!"

When I was little, my grandmother told me that each time you ate a vegetable, you would live one minute longer. So, I believe that if you ate 60 vegetables, you would live an hour longer and so on.

I freaked out even more and started crying, my dad just laughed I mean seriously what type of father does that to a child!!

I use to believe that if you ate one of the candys "gushers" your face would turn into different shapes and morph all crazy and stuff

When I was little, my sister told me that if I swallowed chewing gum, or just any lollie without chewing it, I would die. I remember a teacher handing out lollies. Then I swallowed mine and I was nearly crying. I'll never let my sister forget that.

In my religon, we are taught not to drink caffien, that it is bad for your body. Due to this, i grew up thinking caffien and alchahol were the same thing. I put drinks like pepsi and coke in the same catagory as beer and wine.
Anyway, one day we had a party at school, and there was pizza and pop. The pop was pepsi! i was astounded that they would serve an alchoholic drink at school. When i went home i was trying to tell my mom about it, but i forgot what drink it was so i told her it was beer! "Are you sure it wasnt root beer?" she said. "No!" i said, "it was the kind of beer with alchohol in it!"

I had a friend who thought blackberries were poisonous when they were red, and the poison somehow came out of them when they turned black so they were then safe to eat.

When I was a little girl, whenever I ate a watermelon I was always told by my cousin not to swallow the black seeds because it would grow into a baby in my stomach. So, for the longest time I believed this and spit every seed out diligently for fear of getting a big belly and having a baby.

when I was young my mom would tell me that if you eat a seed from like a watermelon or something, a plant will grow out of the top of your head.
