found a fly in my coffee.....

Hello, if you know there is a joke with a fly in the soup: the client who receives the soup with fly in it, calls the manager and tells him that the fly is in there, and the manager sais "don't be that greedy, how much can a fly eat?"

Oh my, I hate to admit it and please don't tell anyone, but I have done that-in my home when no one was looking. I love my coffee and the price of coffee these days are terrible. Snow

So I'm not the only one! LOL I get bugs in my coffee a lot. I don't have a lid for my travel mug, and we go to my FIL's a lot, he's got loads of bugs around his place, especially gnats. I always end up with one in my coffee. Over the summer we had a bit of a fly problem, and once or twice I did get a fly in my coffee. It was gross.. but I don't want to waste a whole cup of coffee. There was a time I had a mess of little bugs in the pot of coffee.. I have no idea where they came from. I hadn't seen them anywhere else in the house, but they were all in my coffee. Yeah.. that pot I dumped and made a fresh one.

I just can't believe it. If it is a small ant I remove it and drink but nothing beyond that. I will have to throw it out. I suppose you are very strong enough to take it.

Haha, well, I would totally pour it out. I am realy squeamish about bugs that can fly, they creep me out way more than the ones that just crawl. I think its normal for others to drink the rest. It isnt like its poisoned or anything. Its just not for me. Im too much of a wimp. When my dad was in the Army, he took the last cup of coffee from the pot, and poured it into the cup. When he proceeded to drink, he realized he had a floating friend: a roach. It was the worst and most gross story he ever told me about his military experience!

I will definitely not going to drink the contaminated coffee. Flies are full of germs and it could cause diarrhea. Better don't take the risk

I am sure that I would not drink the coffee any more due to the fly in it. I would pour the coffee and make another glass of coffee. Fly is one of the worst bugs.

UCK! Ptui! GrossgrossgrossgrossGROSS! Ick & euwww!!! Aaaagh! I couldn't do that. Any kind of bug in my food, & it all goes away, coffee, food, I don't care WHAT it is! Bugs are creepy enough, but flies & roaches are filthy insects! Now if it were a butterfly or dragonfly, maybe...though I'd hate to see either injured by hot coffee.... I'm not this way about certain other items I've encountered in food--though the occasional bit of dirt in spinach sets my teeth on edge. Coincidentally (no pun intended), that just happened last night--in a Meals On Wheels dinner! I once was served a salad in a restaurant which had a broken bit of ceramic plate in it, & just recently I had a tooth break & I didn't know it, so I discovered this hard, sharp thing in my mouth while I was eating something. A bit alarming, yes, but not something which put my appetite down. Well, hardly anything does that. Darn it... But I draw the line at bugs!!! Writing is a way of talking without being interrupted. -Jules Renard, author (1864-1910)

That would be rather difficult to swallow - I can't stand flies, cockroaches or any bugs. Even if it's a whole pot of coffee, I'd have to throw it out and make another pot!!!

you are kidding right? lol c'mmon you just did not do what you just said! bwahahahaha I could not do that i think i'll just throw it and make anew cup of coffee lol ....ridiculous! lol

wow...that was great. I too do the same. Once me and my wife had gone outstation and she found a fly in the biryani, not once but twice on 2 different days and in two different hotels. She stopped eating biryani after that.

i'd do the same, just get the fly out of the way and continue drinking my coffee. after all, i've seen far more than that in our place. just for a taste of how some people in my place have iron guts: they get coconut juice and ferment it for some time. during the fermentation process, the bottle or container isn't covered so any creepy crawlies or small animals could get in. and you know what? when they start drinking it, they just sift any bugs be it flies, small beetles, etc. with their teeth while drinking it and just spit it out when they're done. so yeah, a small fly wouldn't really hurt. unless you live in a farm with a lot of dung and animal excrement.:-)
