My mom used to tell me that if I swallowed a fruit seed, a tree would start growing from the stomach making a hole in the head. I actually believed it and wondered for many years as to how awkward it would be to have a tree poking out of your head.

When I was 3-4 I thought that your stomach had different compartments for different kinds of food and that that I could get out of eating what I didn't want if I said my vegetable part was full but my cake part was empty.

My grandfather was rather portly and had the habit of eating dessert before his dinner instead of after. As a child, I thought that was the reason for my grandpa's large size.

When I was small I'd asked my mom what periods were she'd replied,"When you get stomach cramps." So I thought that it was something like a stomach ache that you get when you eat bad food. So I didn't eat out till I was 12 and my poor teacher had to explain all that to me!

I used to believe pork chops were actually something called "brazilian chicken". Mainly because when i was a kid i wouldn't eat pork products, thought they were gross, and my parents solution was just to rename it.

I have 3 siblings eating pistacio nuts one time, & dad told me i should reduce my consumption speed & consider about the man in India who cracks open each nut with a hammer & chisel....i was about 15 yrs old until i realised this was complete nonsense!

I used to believe that hamsters lived in my chest / belly and they would run on their wheel to help digest my food as I swallowed.

When I was younger I used to believe that I was the only person in the world with the ability to make crunching noises when I ate something crunchy!
I used to believe that if you swallowed a watermelon seed a watermelon would grow inside of you. Thanks to the Rugrats.

I used to believe that red dye in maraschino cherries caused cancer, thanks to my loving over protective parents
Jen
I used to believe that my body and limbs were completely hollow inside, and that when I ate, the food would fall down into my feet and kept filling me up. I used to wonder how would I fill the top of my head without food falling out my mouth.
Taylor
I used to believe that if you swallowed food while hanging upside down, that it would drip into your brain.

When ever I choked on water or food as a kid my grandpa always told me it went down "the wrong tube". This made me think of the back of my throat having hundreds of tubes for all different kinds of food, like one for pizza and one for oreos etc. Thank you 5th grade biology!

I used to believe that when you made crumbs after eating, it wasn't because you were a messy eater, simply that the smallest crumbs would just fall out of your chin! Almost like they were caught in a filter, and they would just magic their way through the skin on your chin and then fall onto your plate, lap etc.
When I was younger I used to think there was an infinite amount of fridges in your stomach, each fridge for a type of food. This explained why I could be full of vegetables but would still be able to fit in a few more fries. The vegentable fridge was full, but the fries fridge wasnt...
I thought that when you ate anything, it started filling up at the tip of your toes and built up through your body. When the food you ate reached the top of your head, that's when you died.
When I was little everytime my mom said she needed to go on a diet, I thought the word diet meant a vacation! So when she said she should have went on a diet when I was born I didn't know I felt about that!
