Me and my friend used to believe that if you twisted the top off an oreo cookie, and a little bit of creme fell on the ground, that the streets would flood with oreo cream just like on that old commercial. We would sit on her front porch, eating oreos and twisting the tops off, and when a bit of creme fell on the ground we would look at eachother and say "aww!!"

When I was little I thought that grilled cheese sandwiches were called girl cheese sandwiches and I got quite upset when my mom let my brother eat them because I insisted that they were only for girls!

When I was little, my mom used skin cream. I wanted to use it but thought it was the stuff in cream filled cookies, so one night, I took about 7 cookies into my room and disected them, rubbing the cream all over myself. strange thing is, I knew it wasn't cookie cream, but I did it anyway.

I was in my 20s when I found out there are no beans called 'Porkin'.

I used to believe that "chicharron" (a latino's food --deep fried pork skin) was made out of pig's ears. The reason I believed that for a long time is because in my home country (Nicaragua) we call "chicharron" by a different name: "Torrejas" which rymes with "orejas" (ears in Spanish).

I used to believe that if I ate the skin on the roasted chicken I would have curly hair.

Ever see the Porridge Advertisments that the man used to glow all around his body? When I was about 7 I used to walk to school looking at myself not understanding why I wasn't glowing after I'd eaten my porridge?!?

My parents, in an attempt to make me eat my veggies, would simply rave about the benefits of each veggie. When it came to the carrot, they told me "it contained Vitamin A and rabbits eat it and that's why rabbits can see really well in the dark, sweetheart, so eat up your carrots now".

So I ate my carrots with the belief that the more carrots I ate, the more closer I was to getting super night vision.

I used to think that if I didn't eat food for a long time I would fall apart into pieces. I stopped believing it at 7 years because I found out its not possible.

i used to believe that if you went to an ice cream store and got your ice cream but didn't have enough money to pay for it, the person behind the counter would take it back from you and stick it back into the big container! to this day i still don't eat my ice cream until i pay.

I used to believe that the chip bags where always only half full because, the people who worked there always tryed to sneek chips and some times they got to them that's why they were always half full.

I used to believe that if you ate a lot and kept eating that the food would stack up out of your stomach, through your esophagus and then your throat.

My mother used to tell us kids that the potassium in a banana was concentrated at the bottom. If we didn't eat the blackish part at the bottom then we were wasting all the nutrients.
