My Grandma told me when I was little that if I ate too much grating cheese my nose would fall off. I believed her, for probably longer than I should have, because grandma would never lie to me! :)

When I was a kid my Dad used to tell me that in order to get wheat bread that darker color it was made with crushed up bugs along with the wheat....I didnt eat wheat bread for years until I learned how it was really made.

I used to believe that made from scratch meant that the baker would scratch a cutting board with their fingernail and little bits of white powder would appear. This was where the flour came from to make something from scratch. No wonder bread "made from scratch" were revered!

I used to believe that you put butter on things to cool them down. It never occurred to me that it was for flavor until I was almost a teenager.

I thought that McDonalds were built over underground ketchup deposits, and the little ketchup pumps went underground.

When my cousin and I were elementary school age, she tried to convince me to stop eating McDonalds chicken nuggets because they were made out of pumpkin guts. I'm not really sure what pumpkin guts even are, but the thought of it scared me from chicken nuggets for a while.

I used to believe that there were people who wanted to steal my food, because I was only ever told that there were "people in the world who wanted my food" when I didn't finish all of it, but I was never told why.

I believed that desserted buildings were full of desserts. Cute little plated pieces of pie Just sitting all over the floor of the building.

When I was younger, I was convinced that sprinkles (the colored candy put on ice cream and cookies) came from sprinklers.

I believed that the ice cream truck was actually a music man who sold cassette tapes because that is what my parents told me in order to not have to buy me icecream everytime it came.

I always thought that cereal characters were all real people. So I thought serial killers were people that went around killing Captain Crunch and Tony the Tiger.
