That everything was made out of food, depending on the color. I believed, for instance, that diapers were made out of milk.

When I was 8 my brother told me that nutella was produced by a married couple. The man called Nut and the woman called Ella. Foolishly enough, I believed everything my brother told me! Soon enough my friends informed me that I was wrong...lol

I used to believe that there were little men who worked in the bucket out the front of KFC. It was their job to cook the chicken and send it down the pipes into the restaurante.

I was always puzzled by jars of jam that said "extra jam" on the label. I thought it meant that there was more jam in the jar than there would be otherwise. Either it was a slightly bigger jar containing a little bit extra for free, like they often do, or they had managed to fit more into a normal sized jar.

when i was about 7 years old my dad took us for some food to long john silvers. which was odd because we never ate there. he said they had come out with something new. so i went along,never asking what it was. as my father and sister arrived up to the counter, my dad said he wanted an order of butterfly shrimp. well after i heard that i started screaming and crying. thinking it was actually real butterflies.my dad tried to calm me down as my sister and him looked so embarrassed. i think i may have even called my dad a murderer. well i was crying and crying and my dad couldn't calm me down so he just left me alone and sat down and stated eating them, and as he was eating them i cried more and more. i didnt understand for a couple years what actually butterfly shrimp were.

I used to believe that my parents swallowed the toothpaste after they brushed their teeth because I never saw them spit it out. So one day I brushed my teeth and swallowed all the toothpaste in my mouth, and said "Mom! I swallowed the toothpaste like you and dad!" and she told me if I did it again she was going to have to call Poison Control. I never did it again.

I used to believe that it was every vegetables destiny to be eaten so I couldn't leave a carrot on my plate or it would be sad. I couldn't eat just one pea or one broccoli piece either because they would die alone so I would eat even numbers of veggies so everyone would have a friend to go down with.
