I used to think that whenver you got mad, you would turn so red and get so hot, that if you cracked an egg on your head it would fry.

I saw this on tv when it happened to Donald Duck.

I used to believe that cheesecake was made out of stilton.........I thought it for a very long time until some kind people told me it wasn't! I've never eaten it and don't think I ever will now!

When I was young, I heard someone from Colmans (the UK mustard maker) say on the radio that they made their money from the mustard people left on the side of the plate. For years, I thought that there was a complete network of people collecting up the leftover mustard and sending it back!

Growing up in a Chinese household, I never ate (or encountered) much cheese in my childhood.
When I got to college, I saw vats and vats of this white, creamy, curdled substance. I overheard others talking about it, and I concluded it was called "College Cheese." It wasn't until my SENIOR year in college that I realized it was "Cottage Cheese" (which still doesn't make sense to me).

I guess I'm Jessica Simpson's long-lost cousin because up until about a year ago (I'm 15 right now), I thought buffalo wings were made from buffalo. We were having lunch at a Chili's restaurant and looking at the menu. I asked my mom why they served buffalo if it was an endangered species. My mother gave me a weird look and then I pointed out the buffalo wings on the menu.

I used to think that when commercials said "Made from scratch" that the food was made from leftover scraps on other people's plates.

I used to believe that when you eat food from a different culture than your own, your race will change to the race of people where the food came from. So, for example, if I ate Chinese food, I will physically become Chinese.

In the early 70's, I think it was Ragu that ran TV commercials where workers were picking cooked spaghetti noodles off of trees, on the spaghetti farm. My dad told me this was really where spaghetti came from -- it was harvested from trees. I believed this for quite some time.

I used to believe that soy beans would make you skinny and give you long hair , at the time it was being grown in the fields around our house and i'd eat a big handful of raw soy beans everyday in the summer . I think the believe came from my dad saying only hippies ate soy

When I was about 3 or 4 , my papa told me that if you planted a plain Cheere-o in the ground, that you would be able to grow a Doughnut Tree. I beleived him until I was about 7, when I tried it and it didn't work.

when i was a little girl i always loved to steal raw dough from my mother, when she was baking cakes or cookies. one day, i think i was 5 or 6 years old then, me and my father went for a walk. on the streets we saw a very fat man and my father told me that the man was so fat because he must have eaten raw yeast dough, which then has risen inside of him. from that moment on, i was really scared of yeast dough and i never ate a bit of this dangerous stuff. until today i like to nibble at raw dough - but yeast dough? no thanks!

Eating food from a different ethnicity will alter your genes so that your race will change to that ethnicity within 24 hours.

I used to believe that 3 witches lived in my stomache and I ate to feed them.

When I was little, I told my younger brother (four years younger than me) than pork comes from a pig, and ham comes from a hamster. He believed me, and even got into an argument with his friend, who was convinced that they both came from a pig. If this was so, he argued, why did they have different names?
