I was sat in bed watching a film and munching on some popcorn. Saw what I thought was a little bit on the bed so I picked it up and put it in my mouth.

It was cat litter…. I don’t think I’ve ever scrubbed my mouth so hard with my toothbrush before

Friend with two toddlers, over Xmas with lots of treats and selection boxes around, her dp picked up what he thought was a Malteaser off the floor and popped it in his mouth. It was actually from the toddlers nappy 🤢

OMG this wins it 🤮🤮🤮

When my parents decided that the herd of suckler cows were getting too much and sold the whole lot, I helped to get them all loaded up to go to their new home. They all had to go one by one through a cattle crush to be checked against their passports and have missing ear tags replaced. The crush has a pair of shaped gates which shut on the cow’s neck as they go through to hold them still. Once the lock is released the cow can lean on the gates and they spring open.
The last ones to go through were all the calves and youngsters that had hung around at the back. They weren’t quite strong enough to push the gates open, so my job was to go into the crush behind them and shove them to help them pop through.
One of the very last ones was a bit giddy, and exited the crush with a very theatrical leap. Unfortunately about 40-50 cattle going through the same spot tend to leave a bit of a mess, and the wooden floor of the crush was quite slippery. This calf jumping caused a tidal wave of liquid cow shit to fly backwards into my face. Most of it seemed to go in my mouth.
My uncle had to have a little sit down, he was laughing so hard.

A filter tip. At a party as a student, and there were bowls of sweets, like haribo. Next to them was a bowl of what I assumed were mini marshmallows 🤮 The texture was awful

Other than an ex boyfriends very odd flavoured semen, the worst thing I have accidentally eaten was mash - beautiful creamy mash - with green rancid butter mixed through it. Thanks mum!

-Did CPR on someone and the projectile vomit flew into my face, mouth, nostrils!
-As a child, dad bought some malteser type chocs from abroad. At the end of the packet, I decided to cut 1 in half to see what was inside- each one had a weevil living in the hollowed out centres
-Colleague bought a Victoria sponge cake to work. It tasted a bit weird and what I thought were blueberries, were patches of mould!

I know, I know. 😂 I even contributed with a dog booger one. But some of these are horrendous and make me eating a dog booger sound like fine dining. 😂

A ladybird. I was about 6 and eating cheese on toast. I had noticed it flying around the room, then suddenly there was an odd crunch in my mouth. Obviously it had decided my cheese on toast looked good. It was absolutely rancid - I spat it out and there was yellow gunk everywhere from its insides. If I think about it I can still taste it 🤢.

I've got a few!😅

All from when I was a child!

Mum gave me some coins to buy something at the shop..I bought a bottle of chocolate milkshake took a few sips then thought id stash it under my bed for a later date..a few months later I remembered about it and thought id sneakily crawl under my bed and drink some of my milkshake. I litterally had floaters of mould and curdled milk in my mouth😅🤢I never tried to be sneaky with things under my bed again.

Another one that comes to mind when I was about 4 , DM had a clear glass bottle that she put vegetable oil in I thought ooo apple juice and took a swig😆

I've ate mouldy bread multiple times too , you'd think I would've realised by now to check thoroughly.

When I was around 9 my younger brother (5) was practising to make jam sandwiches in school. He was really proud of himself and asked to make me one at home of course I accepted. When I bit into it I was met with a mouth full of bread, jam and BLU TAC. It had bits of hair and dirt in. He found it on the floor and stretched it out n popped it in the sandwich!! wtf was he thinking and wtf was I thinking not looking inside before I took a bite!!🤢🤢

When I was about 14 q group of us were skiving off school. One of the boys had a milkshake, one of these Muller Friiije ones.

Being cigarette sharing grubby teens sharing a bit of a milkshake was no big deal. That is until I'd had a swig and the grubbiest boy of the lot told me he'd just gobbed a big green grolley in it.

I still think about it and wonder if he had and if so if its responsible for any illnesses I've had GrinConfused

ladygindiva · 14/01/2025 14:02

I sipped a bit of the body shop ice blue shampoo back in the day as it smelt so nice and edible. Horrendous 😱

When my dd was about 4 we were in McDonald's and I had a coffee, at the end of my cup I felt something touch my lip. I asked her what it was and she told me it was a lump of chewing gum she'd pulled from under the table 🤢

i accidentally downed a cup of my own piss thinking it was white wine ConfusedEnvy

A woodlouse, a little crispy, dead woodlouse

Another revolting memory as an older teen is driving home one night in my old V Reg Mini and not realising the cigarette I wasn't enjoying was lit the wrong way round, I'd been sucking on a lit filter and I'd somehow smoked through it.

Deathraystare · 14/01/2025 14:36

Not me but my poor Dad! He was sucking a boiled sweet which seemed....hairy. He took it out and there was a huge spider stuck to it. After that he was terrified of spiders!!!!

I once accidentally smoked some mud. It had got mixed up with cannabis resin.

I only realised when I had a foul taste on inhalation. I half blew, half coughed out this thick yellow acrid smoke before vomiting everywhere.

It was grim

Boiled tripe at family friend's house.

I was a child and thought it was chicken noodle soup.

Urgh tripe! 😕 As a child I thought it was fish when I saw it on display in shops. My dad was eating some one day and offered a forkful to me. I ate it and pulled a face telling him it was horrible fish. He then told me what it really was. Gross 😠
