When I was about 3 or 4, my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE television show was the Incredible Hulk! Now as a little kid I used to hate eating peas as much as I hated eating brussell sprouts...so one night my father told me that if I ate all my peas I'd turn green like the Hulk. Trusting my father completely I wolfed them down as quickly as possible. An hour later my parents found me crying in front of the mirror because I of course hadn't turned green! That was the last time I ever listened to my parents!

I was probably one of many kids who truly believed that Mrs Butterworth really talked. The exception with me was that I thought she only did it if she didnt know you were there. So I would hide and try to "catch" her talking.

My brother used to tell me that I needed to eat the skins off my potatoes. If I did, I could grow whiskers. Apparently, this is something our parents told him when they couldn't afford to waste any money on food. As a GIRL, I was not as thrilled by the prospect of growing whiskers and to this day shy away from potato skins.

When I was littlle my favorite food was Roast Beast! I would order this anytime we went to a restaurant much to the delight of my parents and the wait staff who were always laughing at me. I always imagined roast beast came from a very large purplish animal with a horn. When I finally found out it was "beef" the meal was never quite as exciting again.

I used to believe, when i was 7 that eating spinach would actually make me strong like popeye until i tried to bust through a wall and ended up almost breaking my hand.

I used to believe that tarter sauce which you eat with fried fish gave you tarter on your teeth so I wouldn't eat it for years (now I really like it). I also thought that it was made with cream of tarter (a spice).

I used to think that limes were lemons that weren't ripe yet.

When I was young, I was told by my dentist about "tartar" on my teeth. For years, I believed that "tartar" sauce was made from the tartar dentists scraped off your teeth and I absolutely refused to eat it.

I always thought that "grilled" cheese sandwiches were called "girl" cheese sandwiches. I once asked my Mom (I was about 6 years old) why they weren't called "boy" cheese sandwiches. I'm in my 30's now and I think my Mom is still laughing about "boy" cheese sandwiches!

BriFry

When i was in the first grade, my friend told me that curly fries were pig tails, so that i wouldn't eat mine. I would give them to her to eat. Four years later when i was about 10 i realized that she told me that just to eat MY fries.

When I was a young child, my parents would have heated discussions regarding the state of their finances. During these converstaions, my mom would often say "I just can't make ends meet." I believed that end's meet was a sort of casserole or lunch meat: end's meat. I didn't understand at all the importance of my mom making end's meat when I was perfectly happy with hotdogs and mac and cheese.

That limes were unripe lemons

When i was about 7 or 8 years old, I thought that the "Lucky Numbers" at the bottom of a fortune from a fortune cookie were the winning lottery numbers. So I set up a lemonade-type stand that read, "Winning Lottery Numbers, $100" which i thought was a bargain, since you can win millions from the lottery, until my mom came out and forced me to close it because she could get arrested! LOL!

I used to believe that only brown eggs came from chickens. I thought white eggs were made at the store

I was about 11 and my family went to have dinner with my parents' friends. The other family had a boy about 5. We were served 'Au Gratin' Potatoes. Sounded good to me, but the little boy did not want to eat them. His Mama said, "They are good! Try them." The Little Boy then said, "Mama,please don't make me eat, OLD ROTTEN POTATOES!!!!"

I didn't want him to eat them either.

My mom always told my sister and I that the brown spots on the banana were where the most sugar was. So we always fought over who got to eat the banana with the most dark spots.

when i was a little kid, my parents told me that how ever many grain of rice i left on my plate, it would appear on my face. so, when i saw people with pimples on their face, i thought it was because they left rice on their plate.

I am 50 years old. Just this past weekend I discovered that Navy beans are white. I always thought they were blue.

Charlie Chewbacca

i used to cry whenever i had 1 hotdog and my dad had 2. so he "gave" me 2 by cutting mine in 2. i was satisfied.

I used to believe honey was made out of bee poop. I would read the ingredients to everything and avoid honey at all cost!
