I used to believe that the K.F.C. bucket on top of the pole had real chicken in it, only larger pieces and wondered where they got the large chicken.

I saw the signs that said "beer on tap" and thought adults just needed to walk in and tap their fingers on the bar to get a beer.

I used to beleive that my mom fed me pureed snails for baby food. We had this jar full of snail shells we kept in the cupboard, and one day I asked her what they were for. She said 'oh, when You were a baby, I made you baby food by putting the snails in the blender. I just kept the shells for fun.'. I beleived that into early adulthood.

I had a pad of all multi coloured construction paper. I was somehow convinced that each colour was a flavour, too, like blueberry, strawberry, grape, etc. I ate little pieces of the paper and I was quite certain I could detect the subtle nuances of flavour in each one.

I beleived that macaroni was made from 'crow knees' - they took the skin off the bird's legs and that was macaroni.

The Colonel Sanders logo as seen on Kentuky Fried Chicken signs just shows the colonel's head and a little early american style bow tie under his chin. Only I always thought the bow tie was actually a little stick-figure body that his oversized head was attached to.

When I was a little girl, I believed that the orange cheese crackers that come in the packs with peanut butter were made out of monarch butterfly wings. I even explained the entire process to my younger sister.

Grandma told me if I ate while standing up that I would get fat thighs. She was right! She also said that if I ate toothpaste I would go blind and lose my hair. She was only partially right with that one.

When I was very little, I used to believe that bacon came from the tail of a pig because it was curly!!

My grandma used to tell me that if I ate raw sugar I'd get worms in my stomach. My older cousin who I looked up to, even agreed with her.. so I think she got the same story when she was my age.
I guess I didn't care very much, because in order for me to stop eating the sugar, they switched the sugar and salt jars on me. Bleh.. I don't think I've ever eatten raw sugar since. XP

When I was a kid I was a dinosaur-finatic. My parents used to call chicken legs "dinosaur legs" for me to eat them.

When I was in nursery school, a girl told me Jello shook because there was turtle inside. I believed her. I knew that it was illogcal but why would she lie to me? I spent two years in nursery school trying to see the turtle. I never saw one. I still check occasionally-- why would a female lie to me?

My Dad told me that Lamb was man made in a factory, 'cos I wouldn't eat it if I knew it had ben running around in a field.
I believed this for 3 years.

When I was a kid and my mom wanted me to eat something I didn't like, she would say "It'll put hair on your chest." As if that's such an attractive quality for a girl! Of course, it's taken me nearly 30 years to finally eat some of the things she wanted me to eat!

Quaker Oats Porridge had a picture of a quaker on the packaging. He wore a large white cravat-type thing around his neck.
Because it appeared to emerge from underneath his chin and was the same colour as the product in the packaging, I assumed it was a torrent of semi-digested porridge which poured out of a hole in his face.

To get me to eat Brussel Sprouts, my mum told me that they were mini cabbages. I've not eaten another sprout since I sussed it out.
