Anyone ever get some really gross stuff in their food?

I got some Baskin & Robbins Rum-Raisin ice cream once and was almost done eating it.

I found myself chewing on a "raisin" that wasn't quite breaking apart right. It was the [u]second or third one[/u] I had eaten that was like that so I pulled this one out of my mouth to look at - it was a maggot.

[puke]
BTW... Happy Thanksgiving! [:D]

When I was a child, I was eating a bowl of Rice Krispies at a friend's house. I was curious as to why 1/4 of the cereal was a darker color.

After I finished the bowl, I asked for another. While my friend's mother was retrieving the box, I also inquired about the "new" cereal they had.

Long story short...a closer inspection revealed that the darker colored "Rice Krispies" were actually tiny, dead worms.

No kidding. My mother-in-law bit into an onion ring (from the Varsity, for you Atlanta folks) and got a pubic hair stuck in her front teeth. Seriously, no joke. That is the GROSSEST thing EVER as far as I'm concerned. It was funny as HELL watching her freak out though.

Second was part of a roach in some Chinese food (maybe Dong's restaurant isn't the only one with that problem).

Now, can anyone beat the pubic hair?

I was rushing to work, grabbed a muffin at the deli, got to my desk, bit into it and it had..........................................................................................................apricots in it!!!

Damn that was nasty!

My aunt got a burger in DC from one of the street vendors and opened it up to put some ketchup on it.....a lump of hair between the cheese and the bun. She screamed loud enough that the uniformed Secret Service came over from their post.

Worst one I had was a push pin, like those you use in your office, was in some fries I got from Burger King, it obviously fell in the deep frier and got cooked. I bit in to the plastic top, luckily not the pin.

Spit it out as I was gagging........

Ugh...

Remember the episode of Seinfeld where George gets caught eating a chocolate eclair that was sitting on the top of the garbage in the trash can? I got a similar story.

It started out as a normal morning and I was getting breakfast ready for my two sons (5 and 7 years old). I asked one what he wanted for breakfast and suggested an English muffin to which he replied, "Ok". I got it all ready while eating my own breakfast. When I had it all toasted , buttered, and jellied he looked at me and told me didn't want it. I got a little upset and told him to not ask for me to cook something if he didn't really want it and in my frustration threw it into the trash can in the kitchen. I sat back down and continued my breakfast and as I calmed down and thought about it I realized I shouldn't have gotten that upset.....and that I had just tossed a perfectly good muffin. Sooooooooo, I go to the trash can and the muffin is sitting on top of the garbage in the trash can and I make a judgement call that it would be safe to consume. I take a bite out of it and quickly realize it's a bit "crunchy".....more so than it should be. I crunch on it for about 10 seconds before I suspected the culprit.

I yell out and ask my wife, "You didn't just empty out the kids shoes in the trash can did you?"

To which she replied, "Yeah, why?" [puke]

Every morning we have to empty the kids shoes of the sand that gets in them from the playground at their school. All that foot sweat laden sand.....uuuggghhh, I just a shiver thinking about it again!!

I just about gagged on the spot!!! I still get queasy when I see their feet.

I was lucky. I always inspect my food before eating it if at all possible and have always found any undesirable items beforehand.....at least the ones I was aware of! One time I was preparing to bite into a nice looking sloppy joe, when I decided to look at what was in the bun. Inside I found a damn toothpick sitting on top of the meat! Glad I didn't eat this. Also once found part of a candy wrapper in a bottle of soda. Sure makes one think about what they consume doesn't it? LOL

Ewwwww! A worm in my salad. (The restaurant let me have the lunch for free when I brought this to their attention, naturally.)

Could've been worse, though. Could've been half a worm! [thinking]

I ate a grub once. Wasn't accidental though.

Closest I cever came to accidentally injesting something gross was when I went to take a big gulp of Coke and some dickweed had set a half full can of Dip spit in a coke can next to mine. The bad part was it was halfway down before I realized it. I thought I'd hurl,[puke] but I managed to maintain my composure long enough to get to the bathroom, and spit out the rest of it. Half a can of altoids, and I was good to go. [:X*]

One day while eating my steak and potatoes for lunch, as usual, somebody slipped a fucking vegetable, that wasn't a potatoe, in there! Can you believe that?!?! I took a bite of a vegetable! I almost puked. It took the rest of that steak, two whole chickens and a bacon double cheeseburger to get the taste out of my mouth.

I have a few.
Found a piece if lead shot in some sort of meat ball that I got from the Chow Hall in the Air Force. I showed them the lead shot and they just told me to put it on the counter and said nothing else.

I like eating Chinese food.... I have gotten light cases of food poisioning over the years from different places and found hair in some food, but the last one was wehen I ordered xone House Lo Mein (it has everything in it) well I was having a hard time chewing some of it. I spit it out and it turned out to be a long rolled up piece of cling wrap.
I never ate there again.

I was just about to start eating my Chinese food when a roach crawled out of the food and starting racing around the brim of my plate like he was in the Indy500.

I brought the plate to the counter of the Chinese restaurant and showed it to the owner. He apologized and said that I didn't have to pay for the meal but my friend should pay for his meal since he didn't have any roaches in HIS food. LMAO. Hehe, the owner is lucky that we didn't make him eat the roaches or end up with a wok up his ass.

Several years back I had a baked potato from wendys and as I was eating it I noticed something down in the middle. I pulled out a 1" long bolt !!! I returned it to the store and they determined it had fallen out of the exhaust hood over the area they make the potatos.
They were very sorry and we ate there free for quite a while, at least untill the manager was no longer there.

My friend was at a Steak House one evening and he ordered a Big Steak. About half way through the meal, he was chewing a piece of it and bit down on a huge needle. It was probably broken off in the cow during vaccination. He like to have Shit! Freaked all those at his table totally out.

1. Piece of glass in a burger at a local diner.

2. Little green worms in a bowl of blueberries. Bugs in flour, rice and cereal. Various worms and grubs in vegetables from the garden.

3. Roaches crawling up the wall in a restaurant. Most restaurants have some kind of bug or rodent infestation.

4. Raw onions in a salad.

5. Ate earthworms in a survival course. And they don't taste like chicken. They taste like dirt.

I was eating a sandwhich at Cheescake Factory once and noticed a small roach right in front of where I took a bite.

I found a large chicken bone in a [b]FILET-O-FISH[/b] which I promptly choked on, my mom slapped my on my back and it came out.

Washington State University's official food is Nu Potatoes (also known as Russets or Baby Reds). They serve it everywhere, and in everything. I swear to God there are Nu Potatoes in the icecream and the cheese.

Anyhow, when I was a freshman, an ex-girlfriend of mine found a live meal-worm in one of hers. The funny thing is it didnt realy gross her out, she was more upset that it reprsesented 'meat' in her food as she was a veggie. I guess even worms have faces.

Once got a short dark thick hair in a dish at a Mexican place. Being that it could have come from any number of places on the Mexicans I wasnt realy sure if I should be grossed out or just accept it as part of the dining experience.

Everyone ribbed me for that one for a while.

I'll that I can remember (I'm sure there have been others..) is a rock in my salad, and hairs in my food. I've had a lot of hairs [PUKE[].

I've never personally found anything in my food but my dad had some beef jerkly lately that made my stomach turn.

He was out west in Washington, he bought some beef jerky from the good folks at Pemnican. He eats a few pieces it's fine then he bites into a piece of lead shot! Looked like 6 shot. Now what kind of cows do you kill with lead 6 shot? We still have the pellet, we plan on sending it to Pemnican with a bitchy letter and getting us some free jerky [;)]

I've had the usual hairs and other whatnots in my food. The worse thing was when me and my cousin went to KFC....he had a huge whole cochroach in his mashed potatoes!!! He started to dry heave at the table...it was hilarious! Anyways we got our money back and some free food, nothing too special.....

Years ago was eating a salad(learned my lesson since then about rabbit food)from McDonalds and found a blue pill mixed in. Now in my younger days I been known take a pill or 2 but only the ones where I know exactly what's going to happen afterward so I call up place and they just kind of laughed and explained that the "salad lady" is old and takes lots of pills and must of dropped one. Hmmmm should have sued the shit out them but I was so freaked out I settled for them providing free lunch for my whole store for a week and let it go. Still can't look at rabbit food without a flashback.

After you get older you will realize that all the other stuff does not compare with bit of your own teeth crumbled up in your food.

There is no denying that crunching shound when you bite down into something.

I've got the winner. Unquestionably, the most horrible thing ever found in food...

I went to McDonald's recently to discover they're running the DEATH BY FAT special again, also knowns as two Big Macs for two bucks. (Where it literally costs less to buy TWO than to merely buy ONE Big Mac...and we wonder where our bellies came from...[whacko][rolleyes][stick][;D][0:)][>:/][%|]

Anyway, I succumb to temptation and get the two big macs for two bucks. I take them home (never eat in there!) and open the boxes and....

There are BIG MACS in the boxes!

The usual bugs, hair, and chit, no biggie. The worst was biting into a fish sandwich and pulling out a 1in X 2in piece of skin with scales on it. Looked like it was from a carp (bright yellow and scales the size of a dime). This was at DMAFB chow hall 30 yr's ago. Still can't eat a fish sandwich to this day.

At a university cafeteria...I was eating a roast beef sandwich. I noticed it was a bit chewy and opened it up. There were these rings at the edges of the beef slices which appeared to be veins/arteries sliced up with the meat. It took awhile to pick them all out. I guess they weren't buying the best grade of beef.

When I was in the Navy (eons ago), a cook was caught pleasuring himself in the mashed potatoes. I currently live in Woodland Park, Colorado - He currently resides in Quantico, Va.

Crime = 10,000 counts of poisoning.

Was eating some scrambled eggs covered with chili and thought I would try the bottle of Mexican seasoning (a mixture of dry herbs, spices, etc.) that was sitting in the cupboard. I noticed that it was really difficult to get the stuff to sprinkle out of the perforated top no matter how hard I shook the bottle. Tasted really good. At the time I thought moisture got in and caked up everything...until I was already done with the eggs and took a close look at the bottle. IT WAS CRAWLING WITH LARVAE and they were clogging the sprinkle holes trying to get out.

Another time, went to one of those mexican fast food places on 3 tacos for 99 cents day. Things were fine until the guy I went there with stops eating and pulls a short-n-curly from the taco he just took a bite from. He just laughed and kept eating.

There was this particularly piss-poor ship I was on in the Navy. They frequently served oatmeal, grits, etc., that had a large number of weevils. FREQUENTLY. Like every God-damned day. I rather doubt it was meant to be part of their balanced diet system.

Thanks! It's nice to know that my attempts at blow-your-soda-on-the-computer-screen level humor are sometimes successful!

There are a couple of really funny guys who post here that have such a reputation with me that I make it a point to swallow whatever's in my mouth and put down any food or drink before reading their postings just in case they're going to be funny. I'd like to know that I'm getting that sort of reputation myself.

In real life, I'm not all that funny because my comedic timing isn't great and I'm likely to blow my lines. But I can edit my works here, which helps.

Oddly enough, my other passion among the various types of discussions that occur here are discussion over legal technicalities in firearms law. I like funny stuff, AND boring law discussions? I guess I must be schizophrenic...or stupid. Maybe both.

We have a chain of Chinese fast-food up here called Leeann Chin's.

I had bought a box lunch about 10 years ago. Half-way through meal I started chewing on something that seemed different from everything else.

A Fingernail. A fingernail that had been bitten-off of the owners hand.
