Embroidery.

Separating out all those threads brought on an inner rage and despair I never knew I had.

Andouillete. Known as poo sausage in this house.

Washed my hoover in the sink. Broke it. Only had it two weeks 😂

Hershey’s chocolate, Dr Pepper, vegan cheese, and a brown Norwegian cheese that is meant to be eaten rotten.

Walking the ramparts on Framlingham castle. I’m so terrified of heights I instinctively went into the foetal position and started crying.

Hershey's chocolate. It was particularly horrifying because I threw it confidently into my mouth secure in the knowledge that I had never met a chocolate I didn't like...and then I got a mouthful of vomit that literally made me heave

Once in the US with an American work colleague, she gave me Hershey's and it tasted foul. Of course I didn't say so. She asked if I'd eat it if it was sold in the UK. I could only stumble over my words and mutter"
.."Ummm. . . not for pleasure"

I think it is sold in the UK now.

I've seen it in the UK. But given that I've never heard anything positive about it, I've never tried it

Driving an automatic car. Never again.

Food wise it would have to be a stew my ex made me which was 90% water and had a couple of very undercooked rock hard vegetables floating around in it.

I couldn't go up the spiral staircase so they let me go up the more substantial exit steps. But then I couldn't go over the little shonky wooden bridge things that look a hundred years old. Couldn't look over the sides. Got about 10 yards, turned around, and went back down again gripping grimly onto the sides with such deep concentration I got cramp in my hands at the bottom.
And all for only £16

Riding friends psychotic pony, tried a number of times and each time that ponies efforts to kill me were Herculean !

Blue cheese, I keep trying it and pretending that I like it a little bit more, but it still tastes like the crisps you found down the back of the car seats in the 1970's, sort of musty and soft and off. Love nearly every other cheese though except vegan Grin

Also, willing to put money on not a single one of you knowing how to prepare tofu properly.

Smoked Tofu fried with mushrooms is one of my all time favourite breakfasts.

Ferris wheel.

Camping ( why?)

Stuffed octopus. Vile. ( I was a teenager on a French exchange and the family served this.. I'd never have chosen this.)

Well I've just bought a can of Feel Guud sparkling water, rhubarb and apple flavour. 39p from Home Bargains. Took one sip and chucked it away. Absolutely revolting.

Oh I love that! I'll have to go and look now

Aposterhasnoname · 01/07/2023 20:27

Smoking, my god how can anyone do that enough times to get addicted, it’s rank.

A chocolate bar in Florida that was so awful I put money into a vending machine for water not realising I needed a cup so had to scoop it with my hands as it poured out, to rinse my mouth (Vending machines were in the carparks outside_)
The chocolate tasted like SAtan.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 01/07/2023 20:49

California with the ILs.
Full body MRI scan, was supposed to do 30 minutes and could only manage 10. Apologised to the nurse afterwards for freaking out and he said some people see the machine and turn tail and run.
Sydney Tower. The viewing platform is (or was when I went) all glass so it feels like you could just step off. Did wonders for my fear of heights 😥

Really? Not one single one of us?

Campari. I can still taste it nearly 30 years later.

Whole lobster. It was supposedly semi prepared but fuck knows what they'd actually done, but it took ages with a hammer and pliers to get to the meat and I ended up with a tiny amount mixed up with bits of smashed up shell, so not worth the effort.

Axe throwing. I was bored after about five minutes and try as I might I managed to get about 2 out of over a hundred thrown axes to actually stick in the board. So when we got past the 45 minute mark of the hour session I was thinking 'at least it's nearly over now' but no, they generously let us stay for about an extra 20 minutes because no-one else was in after us.

Lol this thread is so funny!

Running before and after vaginal birth - pelvic floor destroyed, taken years to get back to some decent strength but still leak sometimes.

Any of the Starbucks "specials" eg pumpkin coffee, sweet and sickening

I'll happily eat chicken feet but depends on the day for andouille
