My dad made me belive ever since I was born that ketchup was called applesauce, and applesauce was called ketchup. One day I went to a restraint and got a hamburger, and I ask for some applesauce on it. The waiter just looked at me like "huh?" My parents explained to her that I really wanted "KETCHUP" on my hamburger, not applesauce.

i used to think that the eggs known as Sunny Side Up were called 'Dip Egg', because my mom always would slice up pieces of toast to dip in the egg. I remember going to Bob Evans one day with my family when I was about 8, and i tried to order dip egg. the waitress looked at me funny, and i couldnt figure out why.

i love dip-egg!

When my sister was younger my dad told her that if she ate bananas or anything else that was yellow she'd become a monkey (he frequently called her "my little monkburger"). She's 21 now and she still hates that colour.

when I was little my brother told me that corn was made out of whale flubber and of course I believed him because I looked up to him and i named my stuffed animale whale corn.

i thought for a long time that 'brownie points' were things you collected up, and when you had enough, you got a brownie. when i told my mum this some years later, she went out and bought me a brownie to make up for all those years i'd been waiting!

I had recently learned sex education. A few days later that week I saw a sandwich at a local diner. I asked what the sandwich was because it lookes interesting. It was an egg and sprout sandwich. I thought it was an egg and sperm sandwich! i refused to eat there for a week.

One Memorial day when I was little, my grandma made a dirt cake to eat after we visited our dead loved ones at the grave yard. She scooped us a piece (after removing all the flowers)after asking her what is was she told us it was a cake she made from dirts from our loved ones graves. ~~~uuugghhh~~~ I DIDN'T want to eat dead people dirt!

My dad told me that hot dogs were really monkey weiners, and that's why they had a hole at the end. I didn't think as to why it had a hole on the OTHER end, though...

Because rasperry flavour drinks are always blue and called "blue raspberry" flavour I used to think there was an actual fruit called a blue raspberry.

When I was about four of five, I used to eat rice crispies in front of the TV. Then came the day that I asked my dad what the snaps and crackles were when I poured the milk in. He said that they were snaps, crackles and pops. I then remembered that Snap, Crackle and Pop were the names of the elves on the cereal box. That gave me the idea that they were living in my cereal. I didn't eat rice crispies again for a while.

If you take a whole peanut & split it in two, you see a little piece at one end that comes off separate...my sister & I believed that peanut butter was only made from those little pieces! I have NO idea where we got that from!

when my friend was little, her father told her that a haggis was in fact a small animal that roamed the hills of Scotland, rather than a meal. She believed this for a very long time...
