What’s the worst thing you’ve accidentally eaten?

[Soubriquet]

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

@Soubriquet , ha no idea - same way someone dreamt up black pudding I guess....!

Talcum powder. I was about 8 years old playing pretend smoking with my friend in her garden. We had little plastic tubes and we filled them with talc.

I breathed in instead of out. It was truly grim and took forever to wash the disgusting taste away. Her mum thought it was hilarious.

As an adult I have so many questions about the whole episode!!

Paintball ball. Blue. Thought was gobstopper whilst waiting for DC to come out of a paintball party. All over teeth, mouth, chin. Awkward! classic and sadly not the only example of binge eating problems getting me into bad situations 😬

Not me but a friend of mine when we were at the cinema was letting our other friends 3 year old feed her popcorn and at some point the 3 year old had picked a whopper of a bogey out her nose and held it out to proudly show friend. Because it was dark she didn’t realise it wasn’t popcorn until it was too late I’m not usually easily grossed out but ewww.

3 year old was then upset friend ate the bogey instead of admiring it

same!

Also, a cigarette. Used, stubbed out. Thought it was a crisp at a dark party. One of the worst moments of my life!

Scotch bonnet...........hot as hell and absalutely revolting😂🤪

I did that. It still makes me gag

Not me, but a friend of a friends had a toddler who was very messy. She usually got chocolate all over hands and would go to her mum and whinge. Mum would stick the toddlers hands in her mouth to clean off the chocolate (gross enough as it is). Well one day whilst mum was busy, toddler came up to mum whinging about her dirty hands. Mum stuck them in her mouth and then vomited. Toddler had stuck her hands in her nappy…

Took a pear from the garden into school with my packed lunch. Bit into it and I had eaten half of some sort of insect egg cavity. I had to run down two flights of stairs to the loo to spit it out and wash my mouth out.

im sure my mum said something on the lines of well they’re only wasp eggs, they’re always at the fat end, just don’t bite into that end 😖

i have never again eaten a pear from my parents garden without cutting it up first. Actually, I think I’ve never eaten one without someone else cutting it up for me.

I also ate a moth by accident! So glad to not be the only one!

Cutted up pear?

Not me, but a programme about sleepwalkers and the bizarre things they did. They installed cameras and 1 woman would wake up at night. She'd get a jar of mayonnaise, then one by one, dip cigarette butts from the ashtray into it and eat them!
Every day, she'd wake up wondering who emptied her ashtray and why her mayonnaise has ash in it!

You beat me to it!

Holding my friends baby - we were eating strawberry tarts with whipped cream. I saw a drop of cream on my skirt and scooped it up with my finger and licked it. Nope not cream but baby sick.

I was just off nightshift and having a deep sleep dreaming about eating a prawns and woke up to find one of my ear plugs in my mouth which had been given a good chew! Fair to say it got spat out pretty promptly!

I once had a crunchy bit in a sandwich. Looked and I'd eaten half a woodlouse!

A large spider that had fallen into my mug of water I.had next to my bed. It was awful, I spat half of it out. I always check what I drink now, if it's dark I turn my phone torch on to see.

An almost raw razor clam garnishing a paella in Spain. Utterly disgusting.

Laughing and feeling sick in equal measures reading these 🤢😱😂

My brother was sitting on the sofa and noticed a bit of dirt on his shoe. Licked a finger to rub it away,put his hand to his mouth to lick his finger again...ran to the loo to be sick. It was dog poo 🤢😱

I see the occasional spider on my bedroom wall or ceiling while I'm reading in bed so any glass of water on the bedside table has a cover on it! Not taking any chances 🕷️

I believe it's a delicacy considered good for the complexion 😱

One more from me 🙄

As a child I was given slices of tongue to eat when having Sunday tea with grandma. I thought it was posh meat 🫤 and didn't realise it really was a cow's tongue. I'd eaten it many times and liked it. No way would I touch it now.

I was eating a Cadbury mini roll, I bit into it and a chunk of the chocolate fell off so I picked it up and put it in my mouth.

After a few chews I knew it wasn't chocolate so spat it out.
Turns out it was a big scab that had fallen off the dogs face, she'd been hit by a car the week before and had a big scab above her eye which was now missing.

A tiny slug. 🤢

About 5 years ago. We were eating stir fry while watching a film after dc had gone to bed.
Lifted my plate and saw a tiny grey thing on the arm of the sofa and assumed it was a mushroom off my plate in the dim light. So I just ate it. Instantly I knew I'd made a mistake. It was the worst thing I've ever done.
Dh and dc still tease me about it 😂
