When I was 5, I used to believe the soil was an ice-cream that had not been put in the freezer.

When I was little I used to think the foods I ate that were in the shape of animals,people, etc would reassmble themselves inside my stomach, and live there. I also thought they swam in oceans of orange juice...or something.

To get me to eat my carrots my mom told me that if I ate them i would turn into a rabbit. I was about two and would ate every carrot put in front of me.

When I was little, I thought ketchup came from ketchup trees

I was told that broccoli and cauliflower were in fact huge trees that grew in a miniature forest. It worked I always ate my baby trees.

My sister was against eating animals, so our mother told her "these steaks grew on trees honey".

When me and my sister were kids, we thought all food had to either be a vegetable or an animal. One day at dinner we had pizza, and got into an arguement over whether it was vegetable or animal.

I said it was a vegetable, and pictured things like watermelons growing on trees, and when you sliced them, that's where pizza came from. But my sister said pizza was an animal. I dont know how she could've thought that, but it's funny to imagine little pizzas on legs running around and people hunting them...

when I was about 12 I convinced my 4 year old neighbor that Kix cereal was in fact dog food. This was helped by the fact that the box had clifford the big red dog on it and the fact that she couldn't read.

i thought all meat was chicken. If my mom was cooking some kind of meat for supper, ham, beef, anything, i'd ask "what kind of chicken is that?"

I used to think a serial killer was golden grams...

When I was little, I was watching a tv show and a rich girl was refusing to eat left-overs, and i dont know what it was she said that made me think this, but i always thought that left-overs was literally food you had already eaten & thrown up!!
Gross, i know.

Up untill about a week ago i didnt know raisons were dried grapes. I personally thought that they grew on trees and every year i'd ask my mom if shed get me a raison tree. That was like 7 years ago though. (That i asked for a raison tree) No one ever told me...... but wouldnt it be cool if raisons actually grew on trees?

I used to believe that tarter sauce which you eat with fried fish gave you tarter on your teeth so I wouldn't eat it for years (now I really like it). I also thought that it was made with cream of tarter (a spice).

When I was a kid I used to believe that clouds were made out of a magical cotton candy type substance (which changed flavors as the clouds changed colors at sunset), and I planned on buying a ladder to lean into the clouds which I would climb up and then I'd be able to stuff my face with the delicious cloud candy. I also believed that this ladder would only need to be about 2 or 3 times the height of my favorite big maple climbing tree, and that it wouldn't be scary to climb it.

When I was young I hated butter and insisted that all the bread/toast I ate was dry. I remember thinking that the toast was still quite "runny" and asked my dad if he'd put butter on it. He said no, it was only the "toast juice". I believed this for a very long time...

I thought those Japanese guys who made food in front of you at restaurants were robots. There was no way any human being could flip knives around like that and make fire appear from their fingers. I think I might have asked one of them if they were once.

My father told me that Spam was a mix of sparrow and ham. I believed this for years lol

when i was little, we drove by this bank. it was called the union bank. well i misread it and i thought it said the onion bank. so i asked my mom and my older sister about it. they told me(they didnt think i would belive them) that it was where people went to put all theyre onions. so i thought that onions were like money and would hoard them and like hide them in my room(it started to smell weird). i also had strange dreams about people putting onions in safet deposit boxes. it took me a long time to realize how wrong i was.
