I was about 4 when my mom would take me to the cupcake store after school and get me a cupcake. I thought that the wrapper was holding the top up and that there was nothing below the top, so I was always shocked when Mom pulled off the wrapper and ate the bottom after I had eaten the top.

When I ordered "grilled cheese" at a restaurant, I didn't know that it was going to be a sandwich. I thought it was going to be just cheese!

I used to believe that nacho cheese was an actual kind of cheese, as in how cheddar, Swiss, pepper jack, etc. are all kinds of cheese.

When I was three I was always too busy playing to eat, so my mom told me there was a tiger in my tummy growling to be fed, and if I didn't feed it it would run away.

When I was a child, I used to believe that garbagemen ate the food that we threw away. If I couldn't finish my food I would say that I was "leaving it for the garbageman".

I used to believe bananas came from yellow monkeys

When I was a child, I used to believe that the famous paila ice creams were cooked and hot. It was disappointing the day I tried one of those ice creams, because they were cold.
I lived in a lie.

When I was very young when I saw each fruit or some product I thought that everything came from a plant, a cheese plant or things like that. It was very funny because later I learned that each product had its own origin. Or also that when the rainbow ended there was a pot of gold and it tried to find the end but as it was obvious it never succeeded.

I used to think waiters and waitresses were naturally allowed to lick the ice cream scoop or pizza cutter when serving you in restaurants and cafes. Gross but still funny.

When I was a kid, I thought limes smelt or tasted like blood. Still like them as a candy flavour, though.

I used to think the dish Nazi Goreng was something to do with World War 2 Nazi Germany and thought countries like Thailand must have been associated with the war in Wuropw.

Whenever I saw 'dish of the day' written in pubs and restaurants, I thought it just meant everyone's favourite type of plate, and felt sorry for all the poor customers, thinking they were just given a plate without any food on it!
