When I was little, my mom used to tell us that if you ate too much sugar, you will get worms in your heiney.

top belief!
up until i was about 8, i refused to eat sugar puffs, or ever utter the phrase 'i want my honey!' because if i did i would turn into the Honey Monster. i gradually learned to turn off the tv when the sugar puffs adverts came on.
i was also terrified of worzel gummidge, and once stole a worzel gummidge book from my nursery class and put it in the bin in the girls' toilets.
and i thought dinosaurs lived in my bathroom.

My Uncle told me that cooked carrots were poisonous. My sister and I wouldn't eat them into we got into junior high. We didn't want to die.
Chipper
When I was little my Uncle told me that if I ate to many sour cream and onion chips that I would get brain damage. He said there was a ingrediant in the chips but noone could link it to them yet. And I believed him.

My older sister told me that crisps that that dark mark/blemish on them were bad for "little boys" and ate them for my own safety. Bitch.

I was told that darth vader sounded the way he did because he got a nut stuck in his throat whilst eating it.
I wouldn't touch nuts for years after being told that.

When I was about 7 years old, I watched a show about atomic bombs. They mentioned that the destructive force was brought about by splitting atoms. For a long while after that show, I believed that there was a small chance that I could split an atom while doing something like cutting bread with a knife. I was always terrified that by cutting my jelly sandwich into halves, I may accidentally wipe my town off the map.

When I was 5, my grandfather told me that if I drank water, it would make my insides turn to rust. I didn't start drinking water regularly until very recently, and I'm almost 30.

My older friend told me when I was a little girl that if I kept eating only the sugary marshmellow in the Lucky Charms that I would go to hell for being picky. Til this day I cannot eat the marshmellows alone.

I assume sometime when I was a young child, I ate a banana and then requested another one. My mother, thinking that one piece of fruit was enough, told me "No, you'll get sick." For the longest time, I thought there was something special about bananas in that one was a tasty treat but two would make a person sick.

My family told me that if I ate uncooked oatmeal that it would swell up and my stomach would explode.

My stepfather told me that if I swallowed too large a lump of food, it would twist my voicebox so that I would never be able to swallow again and have to be fed with a tube.

My mother told me that Hershey chocolate bars were made at three mile island and that they were radioactive. This was just after the meltdown was in the news. A very effective method of curtailing my desire for the candy when we went to the store. Years later I asked her why she made up the story and she claimed that she never said it.

Remember the advert for Special K ?
It had the tag line "For grown up people who don't want to grow any more."
My Mum offered me a bowl once. I freaked out. I thought I would stop growing if I ate it.
Simon
My Dad convinced me that if you fed more than three slices of bread to a duck it would drown :(
