in about 1st grade, my friends convinced me that chicken patties were made with fish. since i hated (and still dislike) fish, I never ate them again! I didnt realize this till a few years later, and I felt so dumb!

My friend revealed to me that when she was little, she once asked her dad what those advertising columns are for, and he told her they are used to store sauerkraut inside them. She believed that until she was about 15 or 16.

When i was little and I wanted to eat at Wendy's I used to tell my mom i wanted to eat at the place with "the little girl with red hair" in spanish, for some reason she never understood me. I don't see why she didn't... oh well

I never called the Chef Boyardee pasta things by the actual names. Beefaroni were tubes, lasagna was twists, spaghetti was squigglys, and the Ravioli was squares.

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.

When i was young, whenever i would eat rare steak, i thought that the juice was blood from the cow it had come from...it would scare the shit outta me, and i wouldnt eat it...

I used to ALWAYS order plain hamburgers at McDonalds, because I thought that the more stuff you put on, the crappier it tastes. I thought this because i once had a fish sandwich (i hate fish...), and i thought it was a normal one. It had cheese and mayonaise and stuff like that. So when i ate it, i thought it tasted bad because of the cheese and mayonaise. After my mom encouraged me to try kethcup with my hamburger, i tried it and it tasted good. So every time i went to McDonalds, i would add more and more stuff until i became satisfied with ordering Big Macs, which i eat today.

When i was younger i was unaware of soybeans. This lead to the idea that soy sauce came from... elephants! Specifically, it was a byproduct of when they farted. So it was some mans job to stand at the elephants rear and bottle this stuff. It never concerned me and i didn't stop eating it. Ah, the young fertile mind.

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.

My mother told me there was a great pumpkin(like in Charlie Brown) and I got upset because there wasn't a pumpkin patch near my house. Little did I know it was a joke that would haunt me all my life.

When I was younger my dad had me convinced that if I ate the crust of bread it would make my hair curly.
