sweeties

My Mother told me that too much sugar would give you worms, high school Biology was my first insight as to the origin of parasitic infestation

When I was about 5, I had a packet of Skittles and my sister whose name begins with an 'S' told me that you were only allowed to eat the sweets with your initial on. So she went through the whole packet and ate every single sweet...I only realised later that every Skittle has an S on it.

I used to believe that vanilla wasn't a flavor. It just didn't have chocolate in it!

Andrea

I use to think that Now and Laters were called Nomalaters up until just recently, like last week and I'm 22!!!!!

i used to believe cotton candy was real cotton after going to chuckie cheese and my brother told me

jennifer

I used to believe that because Yorkie bars had the slogan "not for girls" on them that shops wouln't actually sell them to me!

Ali

my best friend's mom told us that cotton candy was made from HAIR, and therefore we should not eat it and she was most certainly not buying it for us at the fair.

I believed Smarties made you smarter. Or standing underneath or by anything that advertised smarties made you smart

I used to believe that i couldn't swallow bubble gum because it would stick to my stomach

i used to belive that the cotton and the cotton candy were the same things and for this reason i ate both.

A relative told me when I was very young that the oreo crumbs in the middle of an ice cream cake were coffee grounds. I didn't learn otherwise until I was at least 8 years old!

When i was little, my dad told me not to run with a lollypop in my mouth because a boy did that and it got stuck down his throat. the boy did it again, and it also got stuck down his throat and they called him walrus boy forever after.

When I was little, my dad used to pack Mentos Candy in his brief case. I would often ask for one, and I guess he didn't want to share, because he todl me they were medicine. So I thought for years that mentos were some kind of medicine. Once, my grandmother offered me a few Mentos from her purse, and she couldn't figure out why I thought they were medicine.

The first time that I had eaten cotton candy my dad had told me that it was Peter Cottontale's tail. I felt bad eating the cotton candy and I felt even worse when I discovered that I loved eating Peter Cottontale's tail!

My sister used to believe that if she ate those 'parma violets' sweets she would have the power of flying, and she would try jumping off the stairs (but only about as far up as the fourth stair) to see if it worked when she had them. Other sherbert sweets, strangely, weren't endowed with such powers.

I used to believe that if you ate alot fo Jell-0, Bill Cosby would come give you a prize. My mom told me that because she worked for Jell-o or something so she probably got it for free

I know a man who, as a child, believed that marshmallows grew on vines, in pods just like peas. He always wondered how they managed to get the seeds out without damaging the marshmallow!

When I was about 5 i believed all my chocolate easter eggs came from my uncles farm as he kept hens. Every year, amazingly, a cadburys cream egg would be left in one of the coups for me to find. It was only when I was 7 or 8 I realized it was planted there by my uncle! You can probably imagine the disapointment.

I used to think that the Cadbury eggs, that come out at Easter, were filled with real egg yolk.

My dad used to tell me that Hostess Snowballs were only for adults. I believed him for many years
