I just ate an eyelash

I admit, I saw it before eating it. I was eating a bowl of cereal (lucky charms to be exact) and as I scooped up my next bite of delicious cereal-y goodness, I spotted the eyelash. I thought about whether or not I wanted to take the time to dig it out, then just decided I was too lazy for that. Down the hatch.

Just thought I'd share. BTW, anyone know the calorie content of an eyelash?

    mostly protein, but be careful, that's animal protein and can thus cause your cells to spontaneously combust.

    I was once at a Ruby Tuesday salad bar where there were at least ten eyelashes in the cottage cheese.

    You're welcome.

    As long as the root isn't connected, it's 0 calories and all fiber.

    Am I gonna sound like a weirdo if I admit that no matter where it came from, I probably would have eaten it anyway?

  • I think they are actually negative calories... like 1,000 calories that you need to eat back right. this. second.

    I can only assume that they were false eyelashes.
  • I probably would have dug it out and continued eating it, too...as long as I was sure it was my eyelash. If I suspected it wasn't my eyelash, I'd make a perimeter around the lash and eat around it.

    I think I may have eaten one today too. Or it could have perhaps been an eyebrow hair. I tried to get it off the edge of my spoon a couple of times and then it disappeared. I don't know if it got pushed into the food or fell off and somehow didn't stick to my finger, but I was beyond caring anymore.

    It was possibly the greatest spoonful of food all day.
  • OMG they are like 800 calories a piece!
