i havenb't actually experienced this weird belief but my friend told me that a girl she knew never ate animals. Her brother however managed to convince her that pork and bacon grew on tree's and so she ate this. She didn't find out the truth un till she reached high school. (about 14)

When i was 2 up until i was 5, i always thought that the little extras on food packages (like the strawberries on the cheerios box)were supposed 2 be included and i was always disappointed whenever i oppened a box and there was nothing there. finally my mom explained 2 me that the food wasnt defective, it was just decoration.

I used to believe that if you held a buttercup flower under the chin of someone, and you could see a yellow reflection on the skin, that meant the person really liked butter.

I used to talk to my Mrs. Butterworth's syrup bottle at every breakfast and wondered why she wouldn't talk back to me like it did on TV.

I accidentally swallowed a plum pit when I was five and worried for days waiting for the plum tree to start growing out of my stomach.

When I was 8 or 9 there was a commercial for Powerpuff Girls cereal. After watching the commercial I thought the cereal would actually give me superpowers, so I begged my parents to buy me the cereal (I didn't tell them the reason) and my dad had to search all over the place for the cereal and when I finally got it I found out it did not give me superpowers, and it tasted horrible.

I thought it was "Smashed Tomatoes" instead of mashed patatoes

Okay well when I was a little kid I used to think chesse came from special chesse cows (ex. chedder cows).
I thought this because I knew milk came from dairy milk cows, and I also knew chesse came from cows so of course chesse must come from chesse cows.

I was a weird kid.

I used to belive that the Mexican dish, Flan, was made out of phlegm.

once when i was babysitting, i had to go to the grocery store, so i had to bring the kid along with me, while we were there, he desperately wanted a coconut, i bought him one, and when i asked him what he was going to do with the coconut, he shook it (hearing the milk inside) and then said " i'm going to to home and plant it, and i won't even have to water it because it already produces it own water"

When I was little my Dad asked my mum what was for tea that day. She replied Faggots and I said you never say Soddit and Faggot because they are rude words. I think I meant Sod it or F**k it

I never had a problem with green beans until I saw a Jolly Green Giant can. After that, I thought it was grass in a can. I didn't eat it for years, and now I still don't like them, even though I know it's not grass.

When I was a kid, I was told that poor people at out of the trash, so to "donate", I would throw away my entire lunch.

I thought if you could get arrested if you sneezed on a restaurant employee. So when I sneezed on an employee at mcdonalds, I started screaming that I didn't want to get want to get arrested for sneezing and I started hiding under the table so I wouldn't get in trouble

i explained to my 5 year old brother about how burgers came from cows and sausages from pigs. after a couple of hours of what must have been hard thinking. he came back to me and said:
"i know how they make chips"
"ok"
"well they get a yellow dog..."

This was something I made my boyfriend's little cousin believe. We were on holidays in a caravan park and we had gone to get some hot chips whilst the 'little' kids weren't looking so we didn't have to share them. When we got home, we were sprung by Scotty. He asked us where we got the chips from and I told him there was a chip tree outside. Meanwhile, my boyfriend had gone outside and strategically placed some chips around this tree. Scotty raced out, all excited and came back with all these chips. He believed chips came from trees for years to come and we still give him grief about it.
