What gross things have you found in your food? (Hopefully not a finger!)

LOL, I meant to say keep me from eating chocolate ever.

LOL, thanks for the correction! I would really hate to think that finding a finger in some food would keep you from eating anything ever! That would be deadly, lol!

Wow! I'm sure that if you had found a finger in a chocolate bar, you would also have been put off of chocolate bars for the rest of your life, eh? I don't blame you for never wanting to buy a can of spinach again. That's pretty gross, finding a big worm right there in the can when you openeed it.

You're right - you sure would think that whoever lost that finger coudln't have *not* known it, lol, and that they would have stopped the production line. Maybe they were too embarrassed to say anything? Or maybe they were in too much pain. Maybe they tried to look for it and couldn't find it? But then you'd think that they would have just thrown out that day's product in order to be safe. I guess not! I agree that mold is gross. It doesn't freak me out, but it tastes horrible. I have accidentally eaten some slightly moldy things a time or two, and boy it wasn't fun, and then I was afraid that I might get sick. I guess I shouldn't worry, since penicillin is created from mold, lol.. but it was hard not to freak out knowing that I'd eaten something that had mold on it!

Oh Angela, your story is one of the worst I've read yet! Maggots - I don't know why - but they are just simply one of the most disgusting creatures I can ever imagine finding in one's food or drink. Just the very word 'Maggots' is sort of creepy, don't you think? Whoever gave maggots the name 'maggots' really knew what they were doing. The very word conjures up such disgusting images! I'm so sorry that that happened to your mother! I don't know if I ever would have felt able to eat a crescant again if I had been her!

Gosh, I'm sorry that you find hair in your food so often! I don't blame you one bit for getting so fed up with the whole thing that you don't complain anymore, and just take out the portion of the food with the hair in it and carry on eating. To be honest, I would probably do the same. If i found a bug I would want to tell the management, if i could. But if i just found a hair, I would probably do like you do and carry on with my meal. It's pretty gross, but there are worse things. I just wish that it didnt happen to you so often!

Ugh, I can't stand wasps! Just the idea of finding one anywhere is bad enough - but finding half of one after taking a big bite of an apple is especially disgusting! No wonder you can still feel the feelings that you felt that day, to this day. I'm sorry that it was such a traumatic experience! I can totally understand why. I hope that nothing like it ever happens to you again! ^_^

Chiquita, that's the first story that I've heard of where someone found a rodent in their food. I would never have wanted to go back to KFC either if I found a rat in my bucket of chicken! That is _really_ unsanitary. Rats and other rodents carry all sorts of really bad diseases. My goodness. You're making me wonder if I should avoid KFC's chicken buckets for life, lol!

LOL about what you said about how if it would have been tequila, at least you would expect a worm, lol! I'm sorry that you found that worm at the bottom of your aunt and uncle's homemade cider. Ew, that's pretty gross! But at least I can see more of how it might have happened, since it was homemade stuff. And I guess that the worm must've been in the apple to begin with, so really there's no reason that it couldn't have also happened with commercially made apple cider.

Anne, I don't blame you for not feeling like eating any more candy bars for a week after reading this story. I might have felt put off myself if I were able to eat candy in the first place anymore, but I can't because of the sugar. Still, it's awfully gross to think about someone finding a finger in any food. But I can't stay away from all food, lol! So I'll just have to be careful about what I bite into before I eat it, lol! That way I won't be totally shocked if something is lurking in my food! lol.

It's nice to know that both establishments offered you free food when they found out what had happened! I know that they almost have to do so, but it's still comforting to know that they did. Finding a band-aid in anything is just plain disgusting, if it's been used.. and I can't imagine finding a non-used one in food, lol! So I can see why your dad never ate at that pizza restaurant again. I would have probably used the credit for another free pizza, though. I would have just checked it carefully for band aids first! *laugh* Just the way that you described that caterpillar curled up on the leaf made me go aww! I know that it was disgusting to find it there at the time, but your description made me picture something cute! LOL ^_^ Anyway, I'm glad that you got a free dinner out of it! ^_^

LOL! A gnat you might not even see. You would probably just drink it and never even realize, they're so small! I'm sure that I've ingested a few tiny bugs and never known it, as gross as the thought may be! LOL. I'm glad that the worst thing you have found in your food so far was a hair. I don't find that that disgusting, personally, although it certainly doesn't seem really sanitary. I hope that a hair is the worst thing that you ever do run across in your meals and drinks!

Uath, I'm really curious about those meals that you've had that a lot of people might consider gross. I've never heard of Mudball chicken! What's that like? I actually don't think that roast seagull sounds very disgusting, not that I had ever considered eating a seagull, period, until reading what you wrote here *laugh* But grilled porcupine, wow! I wonder how long it would take to remove all the quills before grilling it? Because I can't imagine that you could eat the quills! *laugh*

LOL! That's the first time that I can remember hearing about someone finding a rock in their food. How big of a rock was it? I'm guessing that it wasn't just a little one, from the way that you're talking. It's really amazingly cool that the sub company delivered free subs to your entire workplace, or at least the people that you worked with! Wow! That's the best story that I've heard yet about getting free food out of a deal like this! Cool! ^_^

Ew! It seems like a lot of people have found cockroaches in their food. How strange that I cannot remember ever doing so, even though when I was younger we had a really hard time getting roaches out of our house. We have a nice house, but it's old, and sometimes we do get bugs. Mostly spiders, now, which as far as I'm concerned is far worse than a few roaches, lol! But we used to get roaches every year. They honestly never bothered me that much, I was so used to them, lol! But I never saw one in my food - thankfully! ^_^

I think that a bloody bandaid would be a truly disgusting thing to find anywhere, let alone in one's food! Yuck! lol. I remember that Wendy's story. I couldn't believe the lengths that someone would go to in order to try to get money. I mean, it's one thing suing over little things that actually happened - that can be bad enough, if it's a silly case - but to put a finger _into_ her food in order to try to win some money by suing the fast food chain? That's really crazy. I feel sorry for anyone who would go that far. I need money, believe me, but I would never do something like that! LOL.
