I used to think when I was very very little that when you ordered cakes with your breakfast at diners that they'd bring you a slice of cake from that glass case in the front instead of pancakes.

When I was about 6 we went to a chinese restaurant and my dad bought a packet of those white rabbit toffees so in the car I asked him what the toffees were made of and he said little white rabbits from that day on you would never see me eat one ever until he told me the truth

I used to believe that the candy called Smarties was some kind of medicine so I would try to eat as many as I could when I was sick

When I was a kid, I used to think that tablets were sweets for grown-ups

I used to think that people got fat because they ate M&Ms and Skittles and at that time I believed that candies that were that shape had little creatures inside them, and when you eat the candy they go in your stomach and build walls of fat.

When me and my sisters were younger, my mom told us that the ice cream man was the music man, until my grandmother introduced us to the "music man"

My Dad used to tell me that if I put too much syrup on my waffles, my pancreas wouldn’t be able to produce enough insulin. Thus, my pancreas would fail and I WOULD DIE!! From then on, I never put too much syrup on anything haha.

I used to believe that if you licked ice-cream, it would never finish.

When I was preschool/kindergarten age I believed that Trolli gummy worms were actual worms that you could buy and keep as pets who would be all bright colored and wonderful. I was convinced if you wrote the company they would send you some for free. I kept telling this to my mother, who for some reason let me believe it was the truth.

when i was 4 or 5 i used to think neon sour gummy worms were real because they always twisted and turned

I used to think when the ice cream truck was playing music, it meant no more ice cream. At least that's what my neighbor told me. It really DID have ice cream

When i was little I used to believe that food with faces on them could feel the pain of being eaten e.g. potato smileys, so when ever I got my favorite sweets (winnie the pooh gummies) I would apologise to each sweet for the pain I was about to put them through before a eat them but I would spare the piglets because piglet was my favourtive and I didn't want to hurt him.

When I was little my dad told me that they used those little red spiders to make the red Smarties red. I didn't eat any red Smarties cuz I didn't want to eat bugs.

Until I was about 7, I genuinely believed easter eggs were empty cardboard boxes, as my parents would take out the chocolate and eat it, to protect my health!

When i was little there used to be an advert where a man rolled up some snow and turned it into a chocolate mint cream to give to his girlfriend. I was convinced that was how they were made & for the next couple of years, every time it snowed i used to try & make them! I was SO frustrated that i just couldn't get it right. Deary me!

I thought Marshmallows were a fungus becuase I confused them with Mushrooms. I have learned to enjoy mushrooms but still don't like Marshmallows...
