sweeties

When I was a kid, we always used to have those Hershey Miniature candies in our house, you know...

Mr Goodbar
Krackel
Regular Milk Chocolate
Special Dark

However, since my mother used to tell me that mentally challenged or handicapped children were "special" my brother and I would save all of the Special Dark chocolates for them.

i used to believe that chocolate would go mouldy if you didn't eat it quick enough

I used to believe that coffee and chocolate were closely related because they both came from little brown beans and the flavor is slightly similar. About a month ago one of my friends reminded me that coffee comes from little berries on a bush while chocolate comes from big fruit things on a tree. D'oh!

I used to wonder why "candy" would be so rude as to put holes in my teeth, when I really, really liked it.

When I was young my mum forbade me to eat blue m&m's 'cause she believed they gave people cancer.. to this day i've never eaten one

Dark brown Smarties were poisonous.

Belief no. 1 involves "pacers", those green and white striped mints that were around when we were quite young - I can't remember what age. There used to be a TV-ad for them in which people ate pacers and - KAPOW - their clothes turned green and white stripey. I used to believe this was a magic property of the sweets and that if I ate one my clothes would go green and white too!
