food: dangerous food

When i was younger I was addicted to pistachio's(i still am)So to stop me from eating so many my mom said my butt crack would close and then id explode .So i began crying and every few minutes i went to the washrom and wiped my bum to see if i had my butcrack.I figured out the my butcrack was'nt going anywhere a year ago(Im 12)
I was(am) deranged

I use to really like pickles and my sister tricked me a few times telling me that jalepeno peppers were pickles. I would run around and cry after I ate them and her and her friend would laugh at me!

Once, when I was very young, I used to think that all poison was green and smelled putrid, like sewage, and that if you ate anything green, you would die. I was very afraid of anything green until my mother told me otherwise.

After watching the "Blob" I was convinced that if I slept with no part of my body hanging out of my bed, the Blob could not get me. I also developed a fear of Jello and jellys. Especially the "jell" that came out canned ham.

Worms and Uncooked pastry.

My Grandmother told me that if I ate uncooked pastry it would give me worms. All she had to say was "Don't eat the dough." When I was 7 or 8; during a class cooking day at school, I touted my belief to a number of my peers (about 7 or 8 years old). The teacher overheard and dismissed my belief. I felt really silly and embarrassed.

Kids are programmed to believe the things adults say.

i used to believe that if i ate a peach pit, a peace tree would grow in my stomach.

seriously. i was a dumb kid.

I've always liked all vegetables, but up until about 5 years ago, I thought that the stems of brocolli were poisonous.

One day on tv I saw a banana slug, after that I thought bananas were slugs, and I wouldn't eat then till years later. now I love them.

For some reason I always check underneath everything I eat, I don't know why but I always claimed that food was hiding something. People used to laugh, until the day I found string in my salad, they were soon eating their words!!!!

The first time I had peanut brittle, I broke out in chicken pox the next day. Scientific evidence that peanut brittle causes chicken pox!

when I was 4, my mom once told me that spiders and scorpions and stuff lived in banana trees, so I was scared to eat bananas from stores, because I thought that when I peeled the banana, there might be a scorpion in there. heh.

When I was about 4 or so, I believed that Tapioca pudding was fish eggs. Then, when I was about 6 my sister told me I was gonna die because I ate a green potatoe chip.

One day I was eating a banana.
"Mum, is it OK to eat these stringy bits?"
"No, Philip, they're poisonous"
I believed it for years.

i think that when you put pop rocks in your mouth and drink soda,you blow up,is that true?or is it just stupidity?i think you just get sick or something,i dunno.

When I was at school, me and all my friends believed that the green bits in crisps were highjly poisonous and the black bits gave you cancer. Not only that but my Mum also told me that if you get a ball of flavouring inside a pack of wotsits and eat it, you'll die!
I believed this for years, and still cant eat crisps, and I'm 30!

When I was 10 or so my dad told me that freezer burn on ice cream gave you cancer. I never questioned this belief and held onto it subconsciously until I was 17. Whenever I saw freezer burn on ice cream I'd either a) eat around it or b) put it back in the freezer, never thinking that maybe I should either not eat around cancer or maybe even throw it out. It was when I wondered "why don't we throw it out, then?" that I realized maybe he had been joking.
