dangerous food

When I was little I used to eat huge amounts of ketchup by itself all the time. Then my uncle told me I would get brain damage if I kept it up. I waited for years for the onset of the brain damage before I figured I was ok.

I still believe that when i eat a gingerbread man that he would get mad at me and like hold a grudge against me, it's kinda scary to eat them since there kinda human shaped. haha D;

I used to believe the "hair" in artichokes was poison.

I used to think stollen cake was stolen cake and got scared when my parents bought it at Christmas time because I thought they'd be arrested for shoplifting, and that certainly wouldn't make a nice family Christmas at home.

My Wifes dad used to tell her that if she ate the dark lumpy bits in the instant gravy she would die!!

When I was young my mother told me not to eat fish and drink milk at the same meal. If I did I would die. When I was about 13 I got brave enough to try it and found, of course, that it was not true. I must have, deep down, not really believed it or I wouldn't have tried it. Nobody would deliberately eat something that was going to kill them.

When I was younger I was told that tapioca pudding contained frog eggs. So up until I was about 15 I continued to tell my friends this lie.

Before I went to school, my mum would tell me that spiders laid their eggs at the very end of the banana, and they were poisonous. Being so old, though, she was immune to the poison, so I should always give her the last bite of my banana!

I used to beleave the foam on a glass of orange juice was poison. If you waited for the foam to go away then it was safe to drink.

I loved to eat paper in about 2nd or 3rd grade. Then a kid told me the acid in the paper would destroy my heart. I believed him and spent many nights crying and praying for God to fix my heart. I worried for many years because I had eaten a lot of paper

In order to steal a bite of whatever I was eating, my dad used to tell me that he had to check and make sure my food wasn't poisoned. But if it was poisoned, my dad would die! I was so scared every time!

When I was 8, my 12 year old sister thought it would be funny to tell me that the citric "acid" in orange juice would burn my skin off if it touched me. Of course I believed her and made sure not to get any ot it on my lips as I drank it. Then she started to spit it on me and laughed as I was hysterically crying! I stayed far away from orange juice for a long, long time.

I used to think that gummy bears were evil and wanted to take over the world. I'm afraid of them to this day.

When I was little, my grandpa would always tell me to be careful of eating bananas because they had bones. For the longest time, I would make my dad peel and cut up my bananas before I would eat them to make sure there were no bones for me to swallow.

Once I was picking at a kiwi and my aunt told me to back away before it ate me. I believed this until I was 14.

Well, this isn't my belief but when my littler brother was about 6, i told him that if he ate Broad Beans they would take over his brain! Pretty cruel i know, but i was only 8 at the time and found it quite funny when he didnt eat them. He stopped eating them for 2 years! Before asking my mum if it was true that they did that.

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

My brother convinced me that if you ate a potato chip with green on the edges, you got cancer. Still can't eat a green chip today.

i was 7 or 8 around the time but heres what happened.i was going to the local grocery store.in the title is said giant/drug store(giant is the name of the store).the only time ive ever heard the word drug was when our school teachers were telling us about cocaine and stuff,and didnt know the meaning of "drug" was a substance other than food that affects your body.So,i thought that the food at the store was filled with LSD or sumthing and refused to eat it!lol i was stupid
