My mom ran a daycare in our home for most of my childhood. She had Flintstone vitamins for some of the kids, but she wouldn't let me have any. Not knowing what they were for, I asked her one day. For whatever reason, she told me they were to make you hungry so you would eat all of your meals and since I already did that, even if she gave me some (which she did), they wouldn't do anything.
I believed this well into high school.

When I was young, I would stay the night with my grandmother and she would make biscuits or toast for breakfast. If she happened to burn it, she would tell us that, "Burnt bread makes you beautiful." I know she said this just so she wouldn't have to make more, but we all believed her, and to this day, I prefer burnt bread.

When I was a kid I really liked the ramen noodles you can buy in the packages at the store. However I didn't realize ramen was just a generic name for that kind of noodle and thought it was a brand name. So there was this one brand called "Top Ramen" I figured it was the same brand but the Top Ramen noodles were somehow better than just regular ramen.

When I was in elementary school, I used to attend an after school program called "A Plus", where we, the children, would be watched upon by the "leaders" (adults) until our parents came to pick us up. At the time, I went through the phase of being obsessed with enjoying my afternoon snack of dry, uncooked ramen noodles. After eating them for a couple years, a friend of mines had exclaimed that eating it raw can eventually cause you to end up with worms in your stomach. He said that the reason we cook the saimin was to "kill" the parasites in it, however eating it raw could result in us acquiring these worms in our stomach where they would grow. The sad thing is, I believed it until now, especially since the shape of it was really convincing.
When I was a child I used to believe that smurfs lived in the mushrooms. So I didn't use to eat.

When I was little, my grandma got me to eat my vegetables by telling me that they were dinosaur food. Naturally, I proceeed to eat tiny broccoli trees, lettuce leaves, carrot logs, and celery branches. Unfortunaely, I did not know that "dinosaur food" only applied to what was on my plate. I later went out and sampled the leaves off the trees in my yard.
They tasted pretty gross, so I went back to only the food that was put on my plate.

I remember growing up and my dad eating a special cereal that we were allowed only to eat once in a while. Mom told us the name of the cereal was "Daddy Cereal" because it was only for him. When I got a job in high school, I asked my mom to tell me where to buy it (because I was making my own money). It was simple granola - to which I am pretty much addicted. And I still refer to it as "Daddy Cereal"

At my aunt's house, when I was little, I was always messing aroung- touching things, playing with things, even spilling things on the floor.
One day I was playing with neat-looking, push-button salt/pepper dispenser- pushing the black button and making pepper come out all over the floor.
My aunt saw me doing this, and told me to stop. She also said that this would, as she put it, 'make ants.'
By this, I thought that she meant that all the little granules of pepper that were coming out, were going to magically turn into ants if they got left there on the floor.
When, I was a kid, I used to believe that cane sugar came from the city Cannes

When I was younger, my parents would make landscapes on the dinner plates with vegetables and I believed that broccoli were actually tiny trees. When my teacher served us broccoli for lunch one day, I looked her straight in the eye and informed her that I would not eat the little trees.

The first time my little sister saw a different McDonald's than the one in our hometown, she became outraged that they had stolen our McDonald's idea. We had the real McDonald's and this one was a copy by someone mean.

My sister used to believe that bell peppers grew 'stuffed' with a rice/meat mixture, since when we saw them they were served baked and stuffed that way. When my Mother grew her own bell peppers, my sister came in with one she had picked and opened, and asked, "Mom, where's the stuffing that's supposed to be inside?"

i used to believe that dumplings grew in the garden
As a youngster I loved Burger King - but there was only one I really attended. So when I was 6, we stopped at a different Burger King, mystified as to how there could be two of them, I told my parents that it wasn't the same and refused to go in it. I think we had to head to the original Burger King (about 30mins drive away) so I would even eat. That burger king has since moved :(
