food: drinks

I was about 8 years old. We were visiting my grandma and her boyfriend. I overheard him say to my dad that he had not had a drink in over 10 years. I thought he meant that he hadn't had anything to drink at all!! I thought "wow, I would be so thirsty!"

I used to believe…

When I was a kid and our family would go to fast food restaurants, my sister would often get up from the table with her cup and say, “I’m going to get Dr. Pepper.” When she came back alone I assumed that Dr. Pepper (a doctor, of course) was busy taking children’s temperatures. After this happened a few times, I began to wonder if Dr. Pepper would ever come by to meet us. He didn’t.

I used to think that beverage was a word for alcholic drinks. I woudn't go to the beverage section of a gas station, because all those drinks were bad. I also thought that ginger ale was alcholoic, and almost had a fit when my grandmother offered me some.

I used to believe…

Up until 5th grade I thought that Root Beer was really beer. It made sense to me. My parents never ordered it at restaurants so I figured that it was so they didn't set a bad example.

Now that I know the truth-I love root beer

I used to believe…

When I was little I had a sippy cup that when I sucked on it too hard, the little air hole in it would go "Squeeeeeeee!"

I, for the longest time, thought that there was a little girl in there screaming because she didn't want me to suck her up!

I used to believe…

When I was too young to drink Coca-Cola, my dad said it was an "adult drink." He later told me that he laughed while drinking Coke when he was a kid, and I was confused. He then explained that he was more of a teenager.

I used to believe…

When I was little I would get a drink of soda from the fridge, and my dad would remind me to be sure I put the cap back on the soda or it will go flat. One day I put the cap on the soda bottle very lose. then I would check the sode every hour or so to see if the cap itself would go flat.

I used to believe that if you swallowed wine or beer in two sips then you would get drunk

I used to believe that root beer was alcoholic. I believed this until my brother offered me a root beer flavored lolipop. It became one of my favorite drinks.

I used to believe…

When my brother was about 8 or 9, he thought that if you mixed soft drinks, you would get mixed drinks. He was convinced that if he mixed too much Sprite with Rootbeer he would get drunk...

I used to believe…

When he was little, my brother thought that it would hurt to drink beer because he was sure that was what made beards grow. Obviously, it would would hurt to have hair grow out your face.

So, a few weeks after graduating from kindergarden, we were in the car one day when my daughter tells me, "You know, Mom, I told them at school about your drinking and driving all the time". "WHAAA? I sputtered, putting down my trusty can of coca-cola. "Yes, she said. When the who school was in that assembly and the policeman came to talk to us. He told us how bad drinking and driving is. And I told them that my Mom drinks and drives ALL THE TIME. Of course she didn't mention it was coca-cola I was drinking, and didn't tell me she had made this very public announcement until the school year was over...

I used to believe that "drinking and driving" meant drinking anything including water or soda while driving your car. I told my kindergarten teacher that my mom liked to drink and drive.

i know someone who used to believe that fizzy mieral water came out of the ground fizzy!!

I always used to think that 7 up(the drink) was called Zup(well thats what it looks like on the can!)and always got confused when going round people's houses what 7 up was,lol.I was so embarrassed when I asked someone if i could hav a sip of their zup :s

I used to believe that drink driving was drinking and driving at the same time and so my mum was shocked when she started to drink a milkshake and i screamed at her that she was going to get caught by the cops.
