I used to believe that Buffalo wings were actually the legs of a buffalo, and they were just called wings to make them sound cool. The "drumsticks" did look a lot like chicken legs. When I realized they were actually chicken wings and Buffalo was a city, I still thought that drumsticks referred to the legs instead.

My sister told me that i was allergic to nuts so i wouldn't eat all the nuts. After i found she was lying, I threw a bag of nuts at her!!

Not allergic to nuts

I used to think that they had to wait for chickens, cows, pigs etc to die naturally of old age before slaughtering them.
I thought that who in their right mind would just kill a perfectly healthy animal who is just trying to live their happy animal life just for food.

I used to believe a cornucopia was corn on the cob with many other vegetables around it, because I misheard "horn" as "corn" when I was learning what it was, and I think the name didn't help, either.

corn of plenty?

I used to believe that broccoli grew on trees. It looks like a tree, so it made sense, right?

My brother used to believe that you can't eat veggies because they have bugs in it!!! He saw a bug eating spinach and the supermarket and got freaked out so much that he called for the nearest employee to whack the bug with the leek he had in his hand! He was 4 at that time!

My mom told me that cannoli had earwax in it, so i wouldn't eat all the cannoli when we ate out. This backfired when my brother asked the waiter why there is earwax in cannoli. The waiter said there is no earwax in it and my mom was trying to scare us into not eating it. Then my brother threw canolli at her face and we started eating lots of it.

I thought if you could get arrested if you sneezed on a restaurant employee. So when I sneezed on an employee at mcdonalds, I started screaming that I didn't want to get want to get arrested for sneezing and I started hiding under the table so I wouldn't get in trouble

I used to think that spaghetti had poison in it that could only affect little kids. My mom told me this so she could eat it all herself. I believed it for many years.
