i used to believe that a kiwi fruit was a genetically modified fruit made from melon and banana (the banana being the middle). why? because my best friend told me so, so i believed her, and would never eat it after that... or until I discovered that it was a joke, and then discovered that I am illergic to kiwi fruit!

When i was little, I thought roast beef was made of dog lips. Then I actually tried roast beef a bunch of years later and it tasted like amazingness.

I thought I heard my third grade teacher mention that Jello was made with ground-up cow udders. I believed this for a while, too.

When I was about 8, an older friend and her brother convinced me that mayonnaise was made from the stuff inside pimples. Although I later learned this wasn't true (duh), because of the image I still couldn't eat mayonnaise for about 25 years.

I was told that bananas were grown inside pigs stomachs and that when they ate the food went into the banana skins and when they went to the toilet bananas came out.So I would not eat bananas when I was 3.

I remember when my older sister was eating a store-bought sandwich. I asked her what kind it was. Trying to gross me out, she said it was a roach sandwich. "See those little thingies there? Those are the wings", she said. I believed her for a few weeks. Then I realized that it wasn't a roach sandwich after all, so I started to buy those sandwiches and pretended they had roaches in them. I said, "Look, Sis, I'm eating a roach sandwich".

I used to believe that mincemeat was mouse meat. I still tell the kids at Thanksgiving that mince meat pie is really mouse meat...some of the adults even look at me and THEY almost belive it too.

My father told me that the special sauce on a McDonald's Big Mac came from Ronald McDonald blowing his nose (and that it why his nose was so red). I am now 29 and I still will not eat them.

In the first grade, standing in the lunchline, I told the other boys that the weenies the cooks were serving were actually weeners cut off other boys to make girls. How else could you make a girl? This made alot of the boys swear off hotdogs.

my mum used to try and get me to eat brussell sprouts be telling me theye tasted like sweeties. They didnt. They got fed to the dog, hidden behind the boiler and placed under the plate so I could get away from the table. When my mum used to lift my ultra clean plate up there would be a whole host of brussell sprouts hidden under the rim!

My Uncle Steven use to tell me that tapioca pudding was made of fish eggs so i never ate tapioca pudding in my life... even to this day i guess

I remember being really turned off of tinned Potted Meat (we used it as a sandwhich spread when I was a kid) after hearing my mom jokingly refer to it as "Potty" (as in toilet) Meat. Given what Potted Meat actually is, I should have been turned off to begin with.

I used to believe until i was 7 that hot dogs were made out of a dogs tail and i refused to eat it. Then my mom realized that I don't not like hot dog it is because my grandpa told me it was from a dog tail!!!
