My mum tells me that I stopped liking peas the day I found out that my elder cousin didn't like it. I can't really understand it, 'cause today, at 20, I still don't like the taste. At family dinners we always leave a small pile of green peas behind.

I thought everyone who went to a bar would get their own bowl of peanuts or popcorn, like on Cheers. I was disappointed when I turned 21.

My mother always told me that if I didn't eat my vegetables that I wouldn't grow or get any bigger. So everytime I saw a dwarf I would think that they hadn't eaten their vegetables. Until one day I pointed it out to my mom right in front of him. My mom scolded me and told him she was sorry.

I know...
Bees make honey and
flies make peanut butter!

(my son at age 3, noticing a fly which had landed on a gob of peanut butter on the counter)

Until I was at my first college, I more or less believed that you had to go to a restaurant to eat Chicken Fried Steak (steak patties fried in batter, then covered in gravy, for non-Texan) and also to eat Mexican food, even if Mother told me there were people who actually made both in their homes! When I was in college, I was invited over to a friend's place for dinner where he and his wife (then girlfriend) made chicken fried steak! I was so excited I called up Momma and told her. "They actually MAKE chicken fried steak?" she asked.

I used to think that when popcorn was popping a giant war was happening inside of the pop corn bag.

My friend used tot hink that there was a leprichaun inside the bag and he would get so mad he would pop

When i was little I thought the bruised part of the banana was the healthiest part. That's what my mom told us to get us to eat it.

Sense Mc Donalds was my favorite restraunt and the one I ate at most as a child, I often ordered the Chicken Nuggets. I was shocked to hear that at Burger King, they served somthing coalled Chicken Tenders. I was scared to try them because I didn't know what they were!

I used to believe that Firecrackers were Saltines that made a loud bang when lit on fire.

When I was little I would always refuse to eat grilled-cheese sandwiches. It made my mother crazy, because she knew that I liked them. Finally one day she demanded to know why I wouldn't eat it and I said, "I can't eat GIRL cheese sandwiches... I'm a BOY."

As a child my dad told me that the donner kebab meat was an elephants leg - I believed him until I was 9

My dad made me belive ever since I was born that ketchup was called applesauce, and applesauce was called ketchup. One day I went to a restraint and got a hamburger, and I ask for some applesauce on it. The waiter just looked at me like "huh?" My parents explained to her that I really wanted "KETCHUP" on my hamburger, not applesauce.

When I was about three I used to think that lipgloss was called "lickluss" and that you were supposed to eat it.

Hope

i used to think the red wax that covered baby bel cheese was gum

jeck

I used to believe that if I ate the crust on my bread, I'd grow hair on my chest.

Jen

i used to think that the eggs known as Sunny Side Up were called 'Dip Egg', because my mom always would slice up pieces of toast to dip in the egg. I remember going to Bob Evans one day with my family when I was about 8, and i tried to order dip egg. the waitress looked at me funny, and i couldnt figure out why.

i love dip-egg!
