I used to believe that the KFC chicken was made inside the giant bucket and went through a tube and underground into the store.

I used to believe that Chopsticks were used because people couldn't see properly, and that the chopsticks were antennae that would then sense the food and allow the person to find and eat it.

I used to believe that a hamburger was called a "handburger" because you ate it using your hands.

When my sister was 4, she knew that frozen dinners always had a picture of the enclosed meal on the cover of the box. She would then choose her meals accordingly. Being a rotten older brother, I snuck a non-food box into the freezer on a night in which we were to choose our own dinners. I selected enchiladas, then handed baby sis a box from the freezer. Hers had a picture of 2 fluffy, wide eyed KITTENS on the front. She was horrified and refused to eat ANYTHING that night. Later, mom asked me why there was a jigsaw puzzle in the freezer and why sis hadn't eaten dinner.

when i was little, we drove by this bank. it was called the union bank. well i misread it and i thought it said the onion bank. so i asked my mom and my older sister about it. they told me(they didnt think i would belive them) that it was where people went to put all theyre onions. so i thought that onions were like money and would hoard them and like hide them in my room(it started to smell weird). i also had strange dreams about people putting onions in safet deposit boxes. it took me a long time to realize how wrong i was.

My father told me that Spam was a mix of sparrow and ham. I believed this for years lol

When I was 8 my brother told me that nutella was produced by a married couple. The man called Nut and the woman called Ella. Foolishly enough, I believed everything my brother told me! Soon enough my friends informed me that I was wrong...lol

My dad told me when I was younger that if I'd save my ice-cream cone at Braums, I could have more. I always forgot about this but he would be sure to remind me when I was done eating it. Finally one day, I ate every drop of ice-cream that was in my cone but finally I had saved my cone. He laughed at me and told me he was joking! He let me believe this for several years lol how mean XD

I used to think Rice Crispies cereal was made by taking all the marshmallows out of a rice crispie treat instead of the other way around.

Ravioli Sunday

This is a holiday we had growing up that was such an intrinsic part of our family that none of us really even questioned it's validity. It was just Ravioli Sunday and honestly it didn't dawned on us until our mid teens that this may just be a family affair.

My grandmother on my mom's side would make 100 raviolis in one day. The entire family would come by that afternoon for "Ravioli Sunday".

Yea I know, we are a little slow...

I thought until fairly recently that bacon came from the skin of a pig and that's why it was so thin

When I was younger my favorite food was fish sticks. Before I knew the anatomy of any living thing or even knew how to spell my own name I knew these tasty treats as fish dicks. I was never corrected growing up because when I said fish dicks it sounded almost the exact same as fish sticks. It wasn't until my mid to late teens until I realized I was saying it wrong. I actually remember looking in my moms freezer one day and thinking "oh my mom bought fish sticks... It must be the off brand!" Needless to say I do not care for fish STICKS as an adult :)

I used to think that when you cut a wedding cake, you would get a whole great slice from the top to the bottom. Yum yum

I used to think waiters and waitresses were naturally allowed to lick the ice cream scoop or pizza cutter when serving you in restaurants and cafes. Gross but still funny.

Ice cream was made from feathers. My brother told me it was.

I hated french onion soup so my dad told me that it was banana soup and i lapped it up for years.

I used to believe that if I didn't eat all of my green beans, the beans left behind would be sad, because their family was in my tummy, so I would force myself to eat them all so that they wouldn't be separated.

I used to believe an artichoke was an animal and we only ate its heart.

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.
