I used to believe that when you put toast in the refrigerator, it turns back into bread.

My father told me that if I ate rhubarb, I'd grow hair on my chest. I thought this would be interesting and was disappointed when it didn't happen (I'm a woman now, and am still waiting)

When I was three I once said to my parents during dinner "You know what's weird? Chicken the animal and chicken the food have the same name." My mom just said "You're right sweetie, that is weird." I don't know when I finally realized the truth, but I've been a vegetarian for ten years now.

Alex

I used to believe that eating chicken skin will give me nightmares.

Random little tidbit as i'm eating my fav type of pudding over here...it's tapioca--i'm really a sucker for anything vanilla flavored, but anyway--different tangent, haha...my Grandpa Jones, back when i was a kid, told me once that the tapioca pearls were frog eggs...i remember how blown my mind was that i was eating them...To this day, anytime i eat tapioca pudding I think of the nostalgia tied to it...Oh memories [3!

My mom was having a party for people she worked with, I was about 9 years old. She was telling me about all of her co-workers coming over so I asked her "are we gonna have Orgies?" Well, my mom just about dropped her jaw and practically washed my mouth out with soap. "Where did you learn that word!?" she said with a rather harsh tone so now I'm practically in tears and in defense replied.. "THE LITTLE HOT DOGS WITH THE TOOTHPICKS IN 'EM MOM!"

I used to believe that if I closed my hand on a handful of peanuts, the peanuts would transform into a Snickers bar.

I always thought that when brocolli is broken down to the smallest it can be that the brocolli indeed looked like little sperm... it was my parents secret plot in order to feed it to me and get me pregnant...

Emily

There is this syrup called Aunt Jamima and I use to think that she was really my aunt. I used to think wow there's my aunt and she had to sit still for all those pitures.

Tara

i used to believe you could buy banana's that would be cut into slices when you opened them

sophia

I used to think that if i were to eat chinese food after I had already read my fortune cookie that my fortune wouldn't come true.

Jackie

Until I was about 11, I thought it was called a 'Girl Cheese' sandwhich.

Chris

I used to believe that the reason why my mom never bought Ramen noodles was because they were some sort of very expensive pasta that we couldn't afford. I had no idea what they actually were until I was 12!

Jenn

When I first learned that ketchup is made from tomatoes, I realized that that must be why ketchup is red. I assumed that mustard, therefore, must be made from something yellow. The only two yellow possibilities I could think of at the time were bananas and lemons. So for quite some time I wondered whether mustard was made from lemons or from bananas.

When I was younger, I thought that powdered doughnuts were called "Power" doughnuts and that if you ate enough, you would become a superhero.

Good thing I thought they tasted terrible.

Katie

I thought that if you enough Hot Cheetos, you'd get fire powers. I always ate a bag a day until my mom went crazy. I don't eat much now.

Anon

I used to think Uncle Ben and Aunt Jemima were a married couple.

I used to think that spaghetti had poison in it that could only affect little kids. My mom told me this so she could eat it all herself. I believed it for many years.

Lucy

In his younger years, my brother would not eat the cone part of an ice cream cone because he thought they were made of wood.

Sammy

I thought people resembled food. A woman who had blonde hair with roots showing was a yellow tootsie pop. I knew a guy who looked like a hot dog popping out of a bun. There was a family that all had flushed faces and high forheads and I thought they all looked like hams.
