When I was little, I was convinced for a while that those little dark specks inside the banana were bugs. Consequently, I absolutely refused to eat them.

My dad would always try to discourage me from drinking coffee as I got older because "it makes your toes turn black, and it stunts your growth."
...it didnt work...

my dad always told me that the fat on meat was the best bit, it would take me that long to chew through it, my dad would say "let me give you a hand and pinch the meat"

When I was young, my mother told me that the to-go packets of soy sauce with pictures of pandas on them were panda blood.
Thanks, mom.

I used to think kidney beans were rock hard and strong tasting, so I used to eat around them when I ate chilli con carne.

when i was about 7 years old my family wanted to go to Ryans for dinner. i after i ate me plate, i went to the desert bar and i had seen some nice, red jello. i got a BIG bowl full and when i got back to the table, my twin sister said, "do you know what jello is made out of?" i said no. my sister said that it was made from pig skins. i just look at my BIG bowl of jello and i didnt eat it. my mom was talking bout the children who didnt have food to eat and i was selfish to waste my food. i didnt eat jello untill i was 12 years old.

Once when I was younger, there was an episode of "Growing Pains" where Mike brought his girlfriend over for dinner and they were eating sausages. She said she couldn't eat the sausage because there were pig veins in them. I just got this terrible picture of blue veins in my hotdog...
To this day, I can't eat sausages.

One time me and my cousin were eating tapioca pudding and our great aunt told us that there was frog and fish eyeballs in it! We believed her and ever since then we havent eaten it.

When I was 5 years old my dad told me that veal was baby cow brains. I proceeded to spit out my dinner and refuse to eat anymore. Now, at 18, I am still unable to eat veal. Though I know its not baby cow brains, I still gag whenever I am near it.

I used to believe that my toe nails would turn black if I drank coffee when I was little, so I was scared to drink it.
