I used to believe that bread crusts helped your hair and nails grow. Eventually, in 3rd grade I found out, and even though i knew it wasn't true, i still told it to my friends because I hated it when people wouldn't eat their crusts, and they believed me!

When I was about 4 or 5, I used to belive that breadsticks were actually the leftover crusts of pizza that someone already ate. To confirm this belief, when my uncle came over one time, with some breasdsticks, I asked him what happened to the pizza. He told me that my cousins had eaten it earlier, therefore confirming my belief that breadsticks were really the leftover crusts of pizza that someone already ate.
So all I could think of was the fact that I was eating something that someone's mouth has already been near...

My friend told me that bread crusts made your hair curly, and that's why her dad's hair was so curly. I believed this so I didn't eat crust for the longest time, now it's my favorite part of the bread!

My mother told my sister and cousin who were about the same age that eating crusts would make your hair curly. My sister never ate them and my cousin always did. My sister had the curly hair and my cousin's was always straight. I guess Mom was wrong, or maybe she had it backwards?!

When I was in 1nd grade, I was at lunch with my close friend. My sandwich had crusts and her didn't. I asked why her sandwich looked like that. She pointed at my sandwich and mocked barfing. she said," My sandwich is clean. Do you know crusts are brown because they have DIRT on them?"

I started crying and spit out my sandwich. I belived that until I was 3rd grade. I asked my science teacher about it and she wouldn't let me live it down! :P

When i was 6 my mom told me that if i didnt eat my crusts i would go old and wrinkly like my granfather overnight. i believed it for 2 years but then i didnt eat my crusts by mistake and found out it was a lie

I thought the end pieces of bread had no crust. I hated crust, so I'd always ask for those pieces.

Later, I learned that those pieces were pretty much just "crust," and I wouldn't eat them anymore. Amazing how the taste of something changes once you know what it really is!

I used to (and still do) bite my nails. I also used to really hate the crust on bread - the top part that has a kind of bittery gross flavour. One day my sister and her friend were babysitting me and I refused to eat my crust. My sister's friend told me that the crust had some stuff in it that helped hair and nails grow. I believed her, of course. The crust is different from the bread so I figured they put something on it to make it crustier. I believed it until about 10th grade, when I actually stopped and thought about it, and realised it was a silly idea. I felt pretty stupid.

My dad use to tell me that eating the crust will make you be able to whistle. I whole heartedly beleived this until I was in Jr, High!!!!! I still dont like the crust and I still cant whistle.

megaronie

when i was 5 through i guess 8 (im 13 now) i thought eating your crust helped you learn to whistle my mom told me that and because my big sister could whistle i desperately wanted to it worked on me but not my youger sister lol and the weird part is when i did eat it i learned how to whistle 2 days later and i loved crust ^_^

My parents were fond of telling me that the crust on a slice of bread was the healthiest part of the bread. I was required to always eat the crust because of this "fact." It was not until a jr high chemistry class that I realized that bread crust was composed of the same ingredients as bread and therefore could not possibly be more nutritious.

My grandpa told my brother that if he ate his crusts, he'd be able to run faster. My brother believed him.

I used to believe that the inside of pizza crusts were spiderwebs, so I was really scared that a spider would crawl out and bite me... or that I would eat a spider! Even though I thought they were spiderwebs, I still ate them, which confuses me. I would carefully pick off pieces of the crust while eating.

I used to believe that the crust and the bread were two seperate things.

Kevin

Wait... I'm 14 and my momm told me the same thing about the crust having all the nutrients in it.

and now you're telling me this isn't true?

somebody please answer me!

When I was a kid, in order to get me to eat the whole sandwich for lunch, my mom told me that all the healthy nutrients in bread were in the crusts of the bread (the part I didn't like to eat). I believed this until I was about 25 and actually thought about it.
