Totino's once had a commercial for their Pizza Bites in which a whole pizza was folded down into one little Pizza Bite. I believed that a Pizza Bite was literally an entire pizza folded up, and told people I could eat a whole pizza in one bite.

Years ago in the early 70's I believe Ronald McDonald was at every McDonald's in America. I convinced my little brother and sister of this. We went to our very first McDonalds and of course no Ronald. They cried the whole time. I was older but I wanted to cry too.

When I was really small, about 4 years old, my mother was preparing Thanksgiving dinner. I ran through the kitchen and could see the Turkey cooking in the oven. I asked her what was in the oven and she flippantly replied, "It's Thanksgiving Elephant". I completely believed her and thought for the next several years that we ate elephant on Thanksgiving.

My dad used to tell me that guacamole came from the eggs of the guac bird.

When I was a kid, whenever my mum asked if my little brother and I would like to go to the local McDonalds, I would ask if Ronald McDonald was going to be there. I was convinced he was evil and would kidnap and eat me. Its only recently that McDonalds have finally dropped him from their marketing. I guess its finally safe for me to go there now.

I used to hate eating broccoli when I was little, until my mother told me they were baby trees, and I was wasting them if I didn't eat them. After that I always ate every bit of broccoli on my plate.

My friend believed that chicken stock, or chicken essense was made by getting a bunch of chickens, and boiling them down in a big pot to create "Essense of chicken".

when my mom would make my sandwhiches when i was younger, she usually cut it in half for me.

one day she cut it in quarters and i said HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO EAT THAT MUCH! thinking that by cutting 1 sanwich into more pieces, it meant more food :P

My sister thought that soy sauce was called soil sauce because it was made out of soil. She still ate it though. In fact she loved it.

When I was younger we had guinea pigs called Bubble and Squeak - hence the reason why I thought for a long time that bubble and squeak was made of guinea pigs!

When I was young my Dad told me that a hagis was a type of hedgehog with 2 legs shorter than the other so they could run ALONG hills in Scotland!

When I was little, my mother told me that the black olives on pizza were mushrooms and since I liked mushrooms, I ate them.

I didn't mind eating lambs brains when I was a kid because I thought it would make me smart.
