sweeties

We were in line to get into our 3rd grade class and my friend had a stash of red licorice in her pocket so i asked her:
"Can I have some Licor?"
my abbreviation for licorice sounded like liquor and so she and the rest of my class were alarmed. She insisted she didn't have a liquor and i knew that she did. We were in a fight about it for weeks.

I thought that the Chewit wrappers were different flavours as they were different colours like the sweets

Thanks to the old skittle commercials, I used to believe that if you planted skittles in the ground, a giant rainbow would grow and it would rain skittles.

I used to believe that Skor chocolate bar was only made for grown ups and if I ate it I'd die.

My mom would make "Lime Cloud" pies when I was young. She would only make them when I was taking my nap and only on cloudy days. She had me convinced that went out and gathered clouds to make the pie!

My sister and I used to try to convince our mom to buy us Smarties by telling her that eating Smarties will make us smarter.

I used to believe if you left a mug of hot chocolate for long enough that it would turn into real chocolate! no matter how many times i tried it it didnt!

I used to believe that Cadburys cream eggs had areal yolk from a chcken in them so I used to eat around it cos the thought of an uncooked yolk didn't sound nice to eat. I am 19 now and only stopped thinking it about 4 years ago :)

When I was arpund 6 or 7, whenever we would go to a restaraunt, I would say "Daddy, I want some Squirrel ice cream!!" because no matter how many times my parents tried to get me to say swirl, I always insisted it was squirrel ice-cream.

My dad told me that if I finished a lolly and planted the stick in the garden, the next day it would grow into another lolly. So I finished it and planted the stick in the garden, and lo and behold the next day it had grown into another lolly!

My grandad used to eat Bourbon biscuits, and he told me that there was a monster hiding in the cream centre- so, to eat them safely, you had to split the biscuit in two to make sure the monster wasn't there. I didn't realise what an impact he had on my life--I'm 36 and I caught my 9 year old daughter opening a Bourbon biscuit. I asked why, and she said 'to make sure there isn't a monster there' God bless you grandad--you got two generations at it now!!!

i used to believe that if you ate too many sweets worms would spill out of your mouth.

When we were little and wanted to eat candy first thing in the morning - especially around holidays when there were a lot more sweets in the house - my mother alwasy told us that if we ate candy before breakfast we'd get WORMS!!
