Something gross** be warned,

These stories are great!!! Keep them coming!:laugh: :sick: :sick:

Poured a bowl of granola, put milk in it. took a bite and felt weird texture crunch in it. Look down to see my bowl of cereal full of ANTS!! I have never puked that hard in my life. I check all my food to this day!

^ WOAH.

I was super excited about finally cracking open that tiny pot of organic "Walnut Marzipan Mousse au Chocolate" in our fridge I'd been saving up (it was still in date for another month or so!). Opened it, had a spoon, thought "mhh.. tastes kind of...fermented?" and noticed that it had little fuzzy white patches around the edge on the top and on the sides where air bubbles had formed. Went straight into the bin. So disappointing.

Note to self: go for the non-organic stuff that's chock full of preservatives next time :laugh:

Oh I forgot that one time I had a peach, tried to cut it in half around the pit, but it cracked open and out marched a little earwig who had been living in there. I think I could see it shaking its tiny earwig fist at me for destroying its house.

HEHE did it say "Get off my lawn!"?

I got a danish out of the vending machine at work. I took a bite and was chewing as I turned it over to see what the content was. I thought to myself "hmm it looks like it has cinnamon on it" and when I looked closer the entire package was full of dead ants. I spit out what I had in my mouth. I took a picture of it with my phone. I would show it to you, but I can't get the pictures off of my crappy flip phone.

There was a tiny split in the package and apparently the ants got in and couldn't get out or they died of diabetic comas. I am not sure. Poor little things.

I poured a nice bowl of Grape Nuts one day, ate a few bites and then noticed some stuff floating on top that wasn't Grape Nuts, it was weevils. I can't eat Grape Nuts to this day.

Did that with raisin bran once - it was little moths and the littel catterpiller worms too ( it was a new unopend box too ) ! didn't eat it again for years ,just started eating them again .

now I'll probably skip it for a few weeks until I can put it out of my mind again ...yuk !

Once as a kid I was at a friend's house and there was a bowl of pretzels sitting on their bar in the basement, I bit one in half and a maggot crawled out of the half I hadn't eaten yet.

My friend was eating one of those Cadbury fruit and nut bars and took a bite and there was a maggot in one of the nuts, as far as I know she's never had another one lol

A few years ago when we were living at my husband's parents' house for a while, my husband made homemade soup with barley in it. We ate a bunch of it and I took some to work with me to have for lunch...it was only after I'd eaten about a quarter of what I brought that I realized it was full of those little bugs that get into pantries and live in dry ingredients (like barley) I don't know what they're called. Worst part is I'd just offered my co-worker a bite, bragging about what a good cook my husband is so I couldn't freak out or she'd know I accidentally fed her bugs LOL

I become an intense food inspector before I eat, so this does not happen to me.

you ate a fuzzy carrot?... anyone else see the joke here? lol

I am terrible about drinking out of the carton/container/etc. Once, when I was 15 or so, I got the milk (in cardboard container) out of the fridge and ended up setting it down on the counter to grab the corded phone in another room. Came back out to the kitchen and grabbed the carton and took a big ole swing...

Now there is something you have to know at this point. Apparently, there was a second container that someone in the family had pulled from the fridge and left on the countertop the night before because they realized it was bad. Maybe they left it there after grabbing the damned phone and forgetting to come back to throw it away.

In my haste, I didn't realize the container I grabbed out of the fridge was 2 feet away sitting there in gloriously chilled perfection. Instead, I got a mouthful of thick, chunky, rancid, yellow, curdled milk.

Ewww ewww ewww!
I had a bowl of Raisin Nut Bran - noticed when I went to drink the milk (after the cereal was gone) that there were bugs swimming around in it. Can't eat any form of Raisin Bran anymore. Soooooo gross.

Gross! I did not have my glasses on one morning and fixed me some toast. Looked at the bread later and it was moldy (before the expiration date). Still, I kinda felt ill thinking about it.

Years ago, I grabbed a bottle of cheese stuff from the fridge to have with crackers. My family was watching t.v. with the lights off, and I didn't think about it. I scooped up a big mouthful with a cracker, bit down -- and tasted all the gross fuzz that had been growing on it for who knows how long. :sick: :noway: :sick:

I think I rinsed my mouth out for 5+ minutes after spitting it out.

The fun thing about fungus is that the part you can see is actually just its reproductive structure. Fungus is a series of one-cell-thick fibres called hyphae that run through an organic object (or underground) and feed by absorption. So, it's already been there for some time before you even notice it.

Yup, like apples on an apple tree. Just because the apples are gone doesnt mean the tree isnt there anymore.

I found a bug wing in a bag of trail mix, I'd say you got off lucky.
