When I was around 5 years old I became curious as to where foods came from and was still trying to process and accept that "meat" came from animals. One day while eating lunch I wondered where my hot dog came from and asked my mother. I fully expected her to say it grew on a tree in some far away land but to my shock and horror she told me "hot dogs come from cows." It made perfect sense - hot dogs were actually cow boobs (udders) - a cow has six udders and, in those days, hot dogs came in packs of six! Then I thought what a waste of life to kill a whole cow just for a single pack of hot dogs!!!

Until I was about 8,I thought my school lunch was an advanced civilization.The pizza was actually a suburb with millions of little cheese people and the pepperoni where a school,city hall,and a rec center.The fruit cup was actually a deep swimming poll filled with large pool toys.The milk jug was actually the town's water tower.I even gave each lunch a name.

Maybe I should've watched less sci-fi when I little.

I used to believe that "chicharron" (a latino's food --deep fried pork skin) was made out of pig's ears. The reason I believed that for a long time is because in my home country (Nicaragua) we call "chicharron" by a different name: "Torrejas" which rymes with "orejas" (ears in Spanish).

When I was eight or nine I thought it was so cruel to eat lamb roast, because it was a baby lamb. So mum and dad told me it was only the sick lambs that died of natural causes that were used for lamb roasts, while the healthy lambs were left to live happily ever after

When I was in elementary school, I saw an episode of The Magic School Bus, in which a character's skin turned orange ater eating alot of carrot-like snacks. I figure that it would be cool to be orange so I took out a bag of baby carrots and binge ate them. I didn't turn orange but I did get sick!

I used to believe that "Vitamin C" was because you could actually "see" it in the orange. However, I never could find/see it!

I used to believe that foods like tomatoes, onions, and lettuce were "grown up" foods and that I wouldn't like them until I became an adult.

I used to believe that bananas grow on markets because they were always hanging from the stands. My logic was that fruits hang from trees; bananas hung from the market stands- and there you have it- they must be growing there!:)

I thought Golden Crisp cereal was coffee beans for kids. It smelled like coffee, took the coffee bean shape... so therefore it was so. Just "toned down" into whimsical-looking coffee shapes. Mum wasn't very happy when I put some in her coffee maker.

When I was around 7 one day at my grandma's house I was eating Mc Donalds when I found some Ketchup packets at the bottom They said "Fancy Ketchup" on the front. I wondered why it said "Fancy" Ketchup and after a while of thinking I assumed it was really rare expensive Ketchup that was supposed to taste extra delicious. With that thought planted in my mind I tried it and would stop in between bites to tell my granparents how good the ketchup tasted. When they asked me why I told them

"Because its FANCY ketchup!"

To this day Mc Donalds still serves the Fancy Ketchup and I still laugh when I think about it

I honestly thought that the mudpies we made to toss at eachother were actually pies. We used to make a few to set aside and eat later along with purple clover flowers.
