I told my kids that Chocolate custard/pudding with Pokemon on the lids were actually made from ......SQUISHED pokemons!

When I was younger my sister and I would sometimes stand out on our deck which looked into the woods eating carrots. My sister would eat a carrot and then tell me she could see through the woods to the street about 1/4 mile away and tell me what color car was driving by at the time. She told me to keep eating carrots and it would improve my eyesight so I could see that far too. I have eaten a lot of carrots in my days but still have yet to see through the woods to the other side.

I always thought that the Kellogs Special K advert which said, "For grown up people who'd rather not grow anymore.." really meant that it would stop you getting any taller. I loved the stuff but was always wary of stunting my growth. I'm 6'3" tall now (but fat)

My parents told me that scotch eggs were laid by a Haggis.

When I was about 8 years old, my brother used to tell me weird storys...
one of the consequence of his storys was that I used to belive that people cry when they cut onion because when they cut the onion they remember the "onion man" that died very young, and they get sad when remembering the story and start crying...

When I was 5 we were at an IHOP. I was stuck on the concept of money for food and asked my mother about it. She said "We give the man money and he gives us Pancakes"
So in my head I saw us giving the man a quarter and him turning it into a pancake.

When I was a kid my favoutrite meal was spaghetti bologneise (still is) though I was sure it was spaghetti boilin' eggs!

I never liked to eat the peel on apples, so I always asked my mother to cut it off for me. One day, when I went to visit my grandmother, she began cutting the peel off an apple she was about to eat. I remarked that I didn't like the peel either, to which she replied: "No, it's not good to eat, there's little bits of poop on it." I believed her for a long time until I closely inspected one and could find no traces of poop whatsoever.
I now eat the peel on the apples.

I used to believe that pickles were made from baby alligators. Why? Because my dad told me they were, because he thought it was funny.

I used to think I had to eat two biscuits or two mini choc bars at a time because if I only ate one it would be lonely. Poor little biscuit, getting digested all on its own . . . sniffle.
I do not believe this now, but eating two biscuits at a time has become a habit. No wonder I'm so fat.

when we were younger my cousin and i were in a fish and chip shop when he asked his mum what a portion was!

I used to believe that you could always tell who was a "big" kid.
Big kids could always eat the apple all the way around BEFORE it started to turn brown!

I used to think that cows would eat chickens and that is why eggs and milk are in the same food group.

At the age of 3, my mother made me believed that if I ate chicken wings (I personally hated them in the past), I will get to fly when i "grow up". But of course I never did despite eating them obediently.

I used to think chocolate was medicine for my father, thats what he called it "Daddy's medicine" so that he could safely keep it lying on the panty shelf.

for years, I thought that I invented the peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
