i sometimes look at the ingredients of things when im bored. one day when i was young i was reading the ingredients of Smarties. one ingredient said 'carnouba wax' or something. i thought it was wax that was used to wax cars! so i never ate them til i figured out that it was just the stuff that makes a shiny cover around each smartie

When I was small the sweets called "Smarties" had a slogon "watalotigot". I thought this was another name in another language for the sweets. But it actually says "What alot I got".

When my mom was little, a family friend told her that candy corn (her favorite candy) would grow into a plant and produce more candy if she planted it. She and her sister wasted an entire bag of candy corn.

When i was young, i used to watch the TV commercials of "gushers" and believe that my head would actually turn into watermelons and other fruits if i ate them

When I was a little girl, I used to believe a snake was born in my belly if I eaten sugar. I was scared ans I didn't want to eat sugar until I was 12 years old.

Dark brown Smarties were poisonous.

I used to believe that the middle of Cadbury's Cream Eggs was a real baby chick and used to cry when i saw them in shops!

My parents got me with "marsh melons." I used to believe that marshmallows grew on vines in swampy areas, kind of like pumpkins, and that there were whole marshmallow farms like cranberry bogs. Little did I know it was a Star Trek joke!

WHen my parents told me not to eat alot of candy cause I could be bouncing off the walls I didnt eat any more candy form when I was like 5 to 15 cause I thought I would literally bounce around the house off the walls!!!

When I was little my grandmother told me that blue Smarties tasted bitter and only grown ups liked the taste. Now, of course, I realise she was conning me out of chocolate. That will always be my funniest memory of her.

My first taste of Gushers was when I was like nine. And I was very hesitant about it because I thought you could really turn into a fruit if you ate them. But I kept thinking "Okay come on that's ridiculous it can't be true" and I ended up eating them. The only problem with them is that they taste like dirt.

I used to think black forest gateau really would be that colour, like blackberries, blackcurrants or black chocolate.

When I was little.. I went to the fun fair with my father, my mother and my sister. The fun fair was funny. But I was afraid of cotton candy because I used to believe they were spider webs and was extremely afraid of spiders. Now I think it's ridiculous because cotton candy is delicious.

I use to believe that if I ate to much sugar just by itself, it would become worms inside my stomach.
