sweeties

When I was about eight I asked my older cousin if I could have some of his candy (called Toffifay). He said, "No, it's only for adults." I didn't realize that nothing stood in my way to buy it myself for years. Come to think of it my cousin isn't that much older than me.

My parents are both very well informed when it comes to eating healthily- and they're also very clever and tactful people. When they first had my older brother, they managed to convince him that raisins were sweets. When I was born, almost four years later, they convinced me of the same thing. It wasn't until I was three and he was seven that we finally figured out that they were lying!

I used to beleive that if you didn't eat the head first off of a gummy animal, The gummy would eat you from the inside out.

I used to believe that the Aunt Jemima syrup bottle was really supposed to talk. I'd sit there with my pancakes just going off her, "Talk, bitch, talk!"

I used to believe that doughnuts were made by putting apples in the microwave.

I used to believe that marshmallows were grown. I just wondered HOW they grew. I pictured something like a pumpkin patch. It took a while to figure out they were made with sugar.

I used to no ear cotton candy because I thought that I was eating the angels clouds. If I then ate their clouds where would the angels live?

I used to think Smarties would really make you smart, so I would eat them all the time, only to find out they just gave me tooth aches.

My dad told me we were going for ice cream sandwiches - I got upset and finally agreed, but only if I could have mine without tomatoes. I quickly decided ice cream sandwiches were the best food ever, tomatoes or not!

I used to believe that gushers would turn my head into fruit

I thought sugar cones were made of cardboard.

When I was little my mum told me I didn't like sugar, so that I wouldn't eat sugary things so much. So every time I would ask for sugary cerials she would say "No you wouldn't like that" and I would reply "You're right! Sugar is GROSS!"
Well a few years later I came up to my mom, and I looked really guilty, I told her "Mum, I have to tell you something.... You are wrong. I really DO like sugar"

Once, in elementary school, i asked my friends older brother for some of the sour candy he was having. He looked at me oddly, and told me to look up. I did, and he told me, "I'm sorry, you don't like sour things." Rather than leave me confused, he clarified, "you see this bump?" he pointed to his own adams apple. I am a girl and, curious, I nodded. "If you have this bump, you like sour stuff. But you dont, so i cant give you any candy. Sorry."
i was well into my teens before i realized that it was okay to like sour things despite having an appleless neck.

In fifth grade my teacher had this thing to motivate us before a test. She would give us smarties to help us get smarter. Well I know it sounds weird, but when she gave them to us everyone would pass the test, and if she didn't no one would. So to this day (i'm in college) I eat smarties before a test. lol

When i was little i used to think the creme i oatmeal cream pies were miracles! Because i wounldn't be hungry after i ate them!

When my little brother was younger he asked me and my older brother what we were eating, we told him we were eating the red soap from the bathroom when in actual fact we were eating red gummy lip sweets. Next thing we knew my brother was eating the good soap that my mum didnt even like us to use o.0

I just read another belief similar to this:
Tootsie Pops had pictures printed on the wrapper, and one was an Indian shooting a star. It was the belief of many of my friends, family, etc. that you could bring those to a store for free Tootsie Pops. Honestly, i can't disprove the theory-as kind grocery workers apparently thought it was cute to here my quick and exitable explaination, and gave me one anyway.

i don't know why but when I was younger I used to eat loads of sprinkles by themselves, until one day my dad told me that if you have too much, it turns into seeds and a sprinkle tree grows inside you, but you have to beware of police men, or they'll get their doughnuts and dip them into you.

When I was 3 or 4 I thought I couldn't eat the Little Debbie Donut Sticks because they had coffee on the front. I wasn't allowed to drink coffee so I figured I couldn't eat the donut sticks because you had to eat them with coffee.

When I was little I was sure that ice cream was sold in the box with the cones. I could never figure out how they kept the ice cream from melting when the cones weren't refrigerated!
