i once conviced my mates girlfriendthat M&M's were made in seperate factories, with one making red M&Ms, one making yellow, and so on, and that they all got driven in colour coded lorries (red for red, you get the idea) to the main factorie, where they would be mixed together and put into bags.
and no, she isnt blonde (but she is scottish)

in a similar ruseme and my mate also convinced the afore-mentioned girlfriend of this little corker...
"in pre-WW2 germany, coca-cola was very popular, but once the war broke out, America placed an embargo on germany, prohibiting the trade of all produce, including coca-cola.
With no soft drinks for the people, hitler produced a new drink, called 'Fantastich' (Literally, 'Fantastic'). After the collapse of the Nazi regime, and the american presence in Berlin, the yanks promptly claimed the drink as their own, and re-branded it as Fanta"
4 months later, and she still believes it! Hardest part is that fact that me and my mate have to make sure our stories dont watermelon up.

abc gumof course "abc" gum is gum thats "Already Been Chewed." once in maybe 4th grade i picked a nice specimen of it off the playyard. it was orange and outside of a few small bits of gravel (well, more like large sand) was relatively clean and glistening.
a guy in my class came up to me and i said to him, "hey you want a piece of gum? its a new brand of gum called ABC Gum: they make it look like its already been chewed!" "Really?", he said, took the thing in his hand, looked at it briefly, then popped it in his mouth and walked away.

I convinced my husbandthat in order to take your driving test you have to have passed your cycling profiency test.
He got really worried and spent ages at his mums trying to find his certificate. After about an hour of searching I finally gave in and admitted it.
