food: dangerous food

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

A bunch of friends and I loved eating the wild onions that grow in the yard , We'd collect buckets full and wash them , My mom didn't think this was healthy so she told us that they make rat poison out of wild onions , we stopped eating them in large quantities .

When I was in elementary school, all the kids at my lunch table would say that if you mixed cherries and milk together, that it was poison... the kind that killed you instantly. We used to mix the cherries in milk and dare each other to eat/ drink it... no one ever did that I can remember.

I use to be afraid of turkey bones because I tought that they would come in the middle of the night and take your skin, I had this fear for many years and still get a bit shivery around turkey bones, I'm currently 12 XP

While at a friend's house when I was about 7, we decided we wanted hot chocolate. We warmed up the milk and put in powdered baking chocolate because it was the closest thing to Swiss Miss we could find. However, after we tasted it we declared is was poisned because chocolate is supossed to be sweet. I believed for years this bitter chocolate meant certain death.

I used to think that germs could somehow run faster that the speed of light, contaminating an object in an instant. So, I never ate off the floor, and if I picked something from the floor, I would go wash my hands.

When I was little, I thought boysenberries were called poisonberries, and you would die if you ate them. When I got old enough to read, I still thought the same thing, except that the people who farmed boysenberries were evil and were trying to kill off the human race. I didn't figure out that they weren't until I was 9 and my grandma gave me a boysenberry yogurt cup for breakfast.

We used to call pimento loaf (the one with the green olives in it), "hognose meat". I am not sure why, perhaps the cross-sections of the olives looked like a hog nose, I donno... But anyway, I used to believe that it was really made of hog noses. And now that I know what can actually go into processed meat, I am not so sure I was wrong...

My older brother wanted all the orange juice to himself, so, to keep me out of it, drew up a skull and crossbones label with "poison" written all over it, and stuck it onto the orange juice pitcher. He then warned me to stay away from the deadly stuff. It didn't work. I can still remember him holding the pitcher up out of my reach, while I jumped for it and shouted "I drinka poison!!!"

I'm sure I'm not the first to add this one, but my mom instilled in all of her children the insane fear that if you don't cook your pork until it's a piece of shoe leather, you'll get worms that eat through your brain.

When I was young someone told me the the top part of the banana and the bottom part are poisonous and that you should never eat it or you will die. I always kinda believed this and always but the top and never ate the bottom. Im still a little skeptical about eatting the whole thing

When I was a little fella, my best mate and I used to play that game "Lemmings" on the sega. And for those of you that havn't played that game, the Lemmings use things like picks and bombs and such things. So my friend realised that we didn't know what the white bits (coconut) was on a Lamington. We thought they were Lemmings and became afraid to eat them cause we thought that the Lemmings would dig out our insides.

I believed until I was 18 that if I got tuna in the mayonaise jar, I would die the next time I ate it.

When i was young i used to belive that leftovers would eat your from the inside out. so i would never ever open the refrigearator

I lived with my grandparents growing up and my grandma loved to bake. Every time she would make cookies, i would sneak dough out of the bowl before she baked them. Whenever I got caught my grandpa would tell me not to eat it because a tapeworm would grow in my stomach and that my worm would move around in my stomach to try and get out. It didnt scare me enough to not eat the dough, but then I would lie down with my hand on my stomach trying to feel the worm moving

i used to believe that is you ate too much red sause then you're blood would turn to red suase that would make your heart explode. i did't eat red sause for about 5years. my parents told me bout the red sause
