I was afraid of Kiwis when I was little.. I saw a cartoon with a talking Kiwi and from then on (till a certain point in my life, of course >.<) I thought they were all little animals that people were too cruel to! Killed them, skinned them, and then eat their green meat! YIKES!
But well, then, I realised they were fruits. But no, still can't eat the 'fuzzy hairy' part.
