food: general

I used to think that spaghetti had poison in it that could only affect little kids. My mom told me this so she could eat it all herself. I believed it for many years.

I thought people resembled food. A woman who had blonde hair with roots showing was a yellow tootsie pop. I knew a guy who looked like a hot dog popping out of a bun. There was a family that all had flushed faces and high forheads and I thought they all looked like hams.

I used to believe that there were two tubes in my neck, one for drinks, and one for food, that lead directly to the very seperate substances that are pee and poo. Sometimes if I drank without being careful, I would accidentally breathe in the liquid... I didn't think about a tube for breathing, but I instead believed the drink had gone down the food tube and caused a massive problem.

so I still laugh to this day when I suck a bit of liquid into my trachea and scream... "IT WENT DOWN THE WRONG TUUUUBE!!!"

My parents used to tell me that I would get muscles like popeye when I ate spinach. I remember them pointing at my arms when I ate spinach saying "ohh there's one now" I kept searching for them until I was 12 before my friends pointed out how stupid that was. Why'd they do that I never said I didn't like spinach!!

When I first heard the story Goldie Locks & the Three Bears I thought they ate polish out of tins. We never ate porridge in our house and I heard it as polish which we had in small tins ie Cherry Blossom

I used to think that peanut butter came from butter cups because my sister told me that if you put it under your chin and it reflected yellow on your skin you had recently ate peanut butter.

For ages I believed that the yolk of an egg was the baby chicken that had died! I thought it was gross and it made me feel sick when I saw a runny yolk.

To make matters worse, my mum once made a hole in an egg with a pin and the air that was escaping made a chirping sound. You can guess what I thought it was - Yes - a chick that was still alive!

i used to believe (up til last year in fact!!) that anchovies were a vegetable! and no matter how many times someone told me they were a type of fish, i denied it.

When I was a kid I loved hot dogs. The one day my mother put out small cubes of cheese and meat and put them out as a side dish. She said they were cold cuts. Since they appeared to be the opposite of hot dogs, I thought she said cold cats. I hated them immediately.

i used to think that brocolli were baby trees, so i never ate them. it used to make me so sad to the point that i would start to cry when anyone would eat brocolli because i felt bad for the mama trees.

When I was little my mom always made sure us kids had a good breakfast to start the day off right. Every time she made eggs sunny-side-up or over easy, I wouldn't eat, and would complain that she didn't take the bacon out of the bacon and eggs. For months my mom couldn't figure out what I was talking about because there wasn't any bacon on my plate, only eggs. I didn't like the yolks and thought those were the bacon in bacon and eggs.

When i was about 6 i used to love weetabix. then an older friend of mine (i think she was 7-but she seemed like a grown up to me) told me that they put ants in it to make it taste nice. i have honestly never touched the stuff since (and im now 19)

When I was little, I always thought that grilled cheese sandwiches were called GIRLED cheese sandwiches. Thus, my dad was not supposed to eat them because they were, obviously, made just for girls.

I use to believe that fruit flavored chap sticks were made of real fruit and were completely edible. Until one day I was really hungry, and took a large bite of a banana flavored chap stick.

I was so upset.

When I was younger, I always thought that the little grease bubbles on the top of soup meant that it had MSG in it.

I used to believe…

pizza hut made their pizzas in a tiny hut out back of the store
