When i was about 8 or so my sisters would tell make stories up and I was so gullible. One day my dad came home with box of fig neutons and my sisters didn't want to share with me so they told me that the stuff inside of fig neutons was made out of worms and ever since I haven't eaten them.

I used to think that if I ate sugar out of the sugarbowl I would get worms in my stomach.

When I was 7 my mom told me that cuoscuos was actually caterpiller toenails. She made up this huge story about how they have special toenail clippers just for caterpillers. I believed her untill my neighboor gave her away. To this day i wont eat couscous.

When I was about 8, I remember my mum having an arguement with my bestfriend's parents over the MacDonalds they had bought me. I remember thinking, "gosh, she's (my mum) not even paying for it and she still wont let me have it!'. Little did I realise (until I was about 20), that it was actually a moral choice that my mum didn't want me to have MacDonalds. Thanks mum

My brother (who, believe it or not is now a priest) told me that the tapioca in tapioca pudding was fish eyes! To this day, I still can't eat tapioca pudding because of that!

A mean, older kid that knew I had a phobia of vomit told me if I drank orange juice in the morning I would get really sick because of the acids. It took me years to completely convince myself that that was untrue.

When I was a child, I used to sneak sips of coffee out of my mother's coffee mug. To make me stop, she told me that drinking coffee would turn your feet black.

I will never drink a cup of tea to the bottom, as when I was about seven my younger brother convinced me that the tea leaves were poisonous if swallowed

When I was 6, my older brother told me that ketchup was made of groundup earth worms. I didn't touch the stuff until I had turned almost 23 years old.

When I was little a close friend of the family told me that the chunks in Tapioka pudding were fish eggs, and after that I havn't eaten them, cause thats all I can think of.

I usesd to believe that eating orange peel would give you worms. so used to eat it anyway out of spite.

When i was around 5 i used to eat tuna sandwitches but i wouldnt eat fish. when i found out tuna WAS fish i stopped eating it all together. i still dont eat fish. but i miss tuna sandwitches even though the thought of eating it is absolutley repulsive.

My Dad wanted so bad for me to not eat pork, that he told me that solomi was "MONKEY BRAIN" so that i wouldn't eat it.

when i was around 8, i got introuble so instead of grounding me from tv or somthing, my dad grounded me from eating my favorite ceriel. i think it was like coco crispies or somthing. a week later, i wasnt grounded form them anymore but my dad wasnt home to get them down from the top of the fridge (okay, maybe like 3 weeks passed.) i asked my brother to get them down but he told me to climb on the counter and get them myself. so i did. i made a bowl and started eating them. my brother walked pass and then said "ew! omg! your eating that ceriel!?' and i was like 'yeah, why?' and he told me moths layed their eggs in it. i spit it out and then my dad walked in and i told him and he said my brother was lying. then later i got grounded fromt hem again and moths started flying out of the box!!!!

My Dad told me that Soy Sauce was made of grasshopper spit! I didn't eat it for YEARS!

We dont have head cheese (if that is how you write it?) in Britain, but I knew it was something Americans ate by watching TV. I imagined it as this skinned, hollowed out human skull with a big lump inside it that was a mix of human brain, human flesh, and some cheese. I could never understand why anyone would want to eat this, and thought Americans had really weird taste in food.
