When my sister was younger my dad told her that if she ate bananas or anything else that was yellow she'd become a monkey (he frequently called her "my little monkburger"). She's 21 now and she still hates that colour.

when I was little my brother told me that corn was made out of whale flubber and of course I believed him because I looked up to him and i named my stuffed animale whale corn.

i thought for a long time that 'brownie points' were things you collected up, and when you had enough, you got a brownie. when i told my mum this some years later, she went out and bought me a brownie to make up for all those years i'd been waiting!

I had recently learned sex education. A few days later that week I saw a sandwich at a local diner. I asked what the sandwich was because it lookes interesting. It was an egg and sprout sandwich. I thought it was an egg and sperm sandwich! i refused to eat there for a week.

One Memorial day when I was little, my grandma made a dirt cake to eat after we visited our dead loved ones at the grave yard. She scooped us a piece (after removing all the flowers)after asking her what is was she told us it was a cake she made from dirts from our loved ones graves. ~~~uuugghhh~~~ I DIDN'T want to eat dead people dirt!

My dad told me that hot dogs were really monkey weiners, and that's why they had a hole at the end. I didn't think as to why it had a hole on the OTHER end, though...

Because rasperry flavour drinks are always blue and called "blue raspberry" flavour I used to think there was an actual fruit called a blue raspberry.

When I was about four of five, I used to eat rice crispies in front of the TV. Then came the day that I asked my dad what the snaps and crackles were when I poured the milk in. He said that they were snaps, crackles and pops. I then remembered that Snap, Crackle and Pop were the names of the elves on the cereal box. That gave me the idea that they were living in my cereal. I didn't eat rice crispies again for a while.

If you take a whole peanut & split it in two, you see a little piece at one end that comes off separate...my sister & I believed that peanut butter was only made from those little pieces! I have NO idea where we got that from!

when my friend was little, her father told her that a haggis was in fact a small animal that roamed the hills of Scotland, rather than a meal. She believed this for a very long time...

My sister and I used to believe that our babysitter was a witch and she hid a baby in our cupboard. Then she did a horrible spell to make the little baby pee. The pee we thought was what she used as juice in our Ramen Noodle Soup.

Although we truely believed this, we loved that soup and begged for it every time she watched us!

my friend was eating ice cream, and she had a scoop of mint and a scoop of chocolate. when she was done, she mixed it all up and it looked like only chocolate, and gave it to her little brother. the next day, their mom found him crying because he couldn't make his mint ice cream turn into chocolate when he stirred it around!

When i was little i allways got the kids chicken nugget meal. One day my babysitter took me and another little boy to McDonalds. I ordered my usual and he convinced me that the Sweet and Sour sauce was made from cow boogers...Yea i switched to burgers from then on. And now that i am an adult [ i of course understand its not made out of boogers ] but if i ever get sweet and sour sauce i always think of what that kid told me. And i kind of get disgusted..he has traumatized me for the rest of my life lol

When I was small, my parents and I would go fishing. As a small child, I saw that the fish were eating the worms. I realized that if they ate the worms, I would also be eating worms when I ate the fish. I couldn't eat fish until I was over thirty years old.

I used to think that if you ate the membrane of a pomegranate it would make you really brainy

My sister used to tell me that pickle juice came from a spring in Africa.
