What kinds of weird things did you believe when you were a kid? Well, here's where to post them...these food ones are hilarious, but the other categories are good, too, like Marriage, Police, and Monsters. As for me, I once swallowed about fifty pieces of chewing gum (that's a whole other story), and of course got really sick, and my mom told me the Precocious Kid version of the "chewing gum takes seven years to digest in your stomach" story. She told me that gum gets lodged in your appendix, and if you swallow too much of it your appendix bursts, and that's why people get appendectomies. I never swallowed a piece of gum again!
