food: general

When I was about 4 my grandmother told me that eating carrots helped me to see in the dark. I somehow misheard this as 'carrots make your eyes glow in the dark.' Needless to say, I immediately gobbled my veggies down and was very dissapointed when my eyes failed to light up the room that night.

I used to believe that because oranges are called oranges, then bananas are called yellows, and watermelons are called greens. The only thing was I couldn't work out what an apple was called because they come in two different colours; would they be a redgreen?

I thought that olives grew with that red pimento already in them. Then I somehow rationalized that as they ripen the red pimento became a pit. That's why black olives sometimes have pits.

When I was small, I used to eat prunes, including the pits. My brothers told me that I would grow "prune trees" out of my ears.

When I was little, my mother would serve asparagus. My father told me they were hummingbird tongues. Needless to say, I would not eat them. I was practically grown before I knew what they really were! I love asparagus now!

i used to believe that rainbow ice cream was a whole multitude of flavours in each icecream. I was destroyed when i found out its just caramel flavoured ice cream...

I used to believe that all meats were chicken. I called everything chicken. :)

I used to believe that if you planted a feather in the garden it would grow an egg. Little did I know my dad would sneak out in the middle of the night and put an egg under the feather.

When I was little I ate butter by the sick and then my big brother told me that I would turn into a dragon if I ate too much so I stopped eating all the butter.

Iused to believe when I was very young that peanuts had little elf's in them. You know when you split a peanut open & you have one side that has that little cone shaped end to it.....I thought it was a little elf with a beard & cap sleeping in his peanut bed. I never ate that side of the peanut. Goofy kid I was!

After I told me dad I hated pizza and I'd never eat it again he said that the magic people in the back room put an invisible toy inside the bubbles of the pizza.I was so ecxited the next day when it was dinner time that I ripped apart the pizza and started dancing with

God I was some messed up kid

As a child, after seeing an anti-drug commercial in which an egg was scrambled, the person said "This is your brain on drugs." One morning, my Aunt asked what I wanted for breakfast, I replied, "brains on drugs."

When I was through the ages of 3-5 I ate A LOT of Cocoa puffs. My mom once said if I eat too many I will wake up as a giant cocoa puff

You know how mcdonalds calls theirchicken nugets "mcnuggets"? Well, when i was little i always asked for chicken mcnuggets when i wanted chicken nuggets, because i thought that was their real name!!! Instead of chicken nuggets.

I used to think that french fries were made out of bread (not potatoes)... the sad thing is, I didn't figure it out until last year, at age 16.

When I was little I noticed there were vegetables shown in my library books that we never ate at home: asparagus, rhubarb, spinach. I assumed that because we were Jewish, and we didn't eat these things, they must be Christian vegetables. Later on, when I brought this up to my parents, they had a good laugh and told me those were just the vegetables they didn't like.
