food: drinks

When i was little i used to believe that drinking Mountain Dew would result it being both extremely hyper and extremely bored to the point that all you could do is sit around the house screaming "I'M BORED!!! I'M BORED!!! I'M BORED!!!! I'M BORED!!!! at the top of your lungs...

When I was a little girl, my mom told me that it was "against the law" for children to drink beverages that contained caffeine. In kindergarten, my best friend was drinking Coke and I tried to get her to stop because I thought she'd be arrested.

one of my friend's mother used to only buy diet coke, never regular coke. she had by the case, so there was always plenty. since there was no real soft drinks, when we hung out at his house we would drink her diet cokes. she didn't like us drinking them, so she told us that diet coke gave kids under 10 cancer. we never drank them again.

When I was about six, I would drink pop in a cup. Well, you know how there is fizz? Well, I used to be scared of drinking the fizz. So I would tilt the cup or move it around to it wouldent touch my lips.

I used to believe that stirring my tea would make the sugar appear.

Folger's catch phrase was, " the best part of waking up, is Folgers in your cup" and I always thought they were saying, " the best part of waking up is SOLDIERS in your cup" so every time my dad was making coffee and not looking I would stick my hand in the canister and search for toy soldiers.

There was this one time when me and my sister were staring at a bottle of Diet Mountaindew on the table. Naturally, I went to grab it first but not until my older sister goes "You know, Diet Soda turns you into a skeleton if you're not fat." I was terrified and took a second glance at the Diet Mountaindew. Her little lie worked, unfortunately for me. I didn't drink any Diet drinks until I was I teen.

Every kid in our family has been brought up with a belief that if they drink tea, their skin will turn black and only once they are adults they can drink tea. Sickness was an exception though :p

When I was a kid, my dad told me that Dr. Pepper was really nasty and it would make me sick, for some reason. I guess he just didn't like it when he was a kid, so he assumed I wouldn't either, but for YEARS, I wouldn't go near the stuff, because I'd never tried it, but I just somehow *knew* that it was nasty, lol. Now it's like, my favourite pop ever, and I drink it all the time. You know, the diet kind actually tastes *almost* as good as the regular?

I used to think that red wine was made out of squeezed purple grapes mixed with alcohol. and i didnt understand why red wine doesn't even have a grape taste.

I used to believe that "other" was another name for water, because that was what the lids at Burger King said.

I used to think that all sodas/pop, had caffeine.

My dad told me that Elvis Presley died from guzzling down drinks (non alcoholic ones) in an effort to teach me not to guzzle my drinks

I used to be in awe when I saw the workers filling the soda cups through the take-out window, and I thought that the machines "knew" which size cup it was filling up, and that it knew when to stop when it was full!

one day my friend said he and his friends had beer, i asked what did you mix with it? he was like laughing alot and i said i thought u had whisky.. i thought you add soda just like you do with whisky or whatever.

If you drank water before breakfast it would make you sick.
