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

Eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww

I was once invited to visit my friend's new house. She'd lit some candles and we had wine and nibbles, all very nice. I took a huge scoop of what I expected to be hummus but couldn't actually see properly in the candlelight. It was taramasalata 🤮

I always take water to bed in a bottle! Can't bear the thought of a) eating insects or b) having a swig of water that my cats tongues may have been in! 🤣

An out of date yogurt.

Not me but my husband. We were eating cheese and crackers on the sofa and he picked up a crumb of dropped wensleydale cheese and popped it in his mouth. It was cat litter. Ewwwww. We still laugh about it.

A bishybarnabee (ladybird) which flew into my salad.
arghh eurgh it was so so bitter!

Nowhere near as bad as some of these but a few years ago while on holiday with my family it was exceptionally hot. We bought a couple of individual water bottles and some large ones to refill the little ones to save on cost and waste. Anyway, we're all out and my water tastes "funny" but I'm thirsty so keep drinking it. I mention to my brother that my water tastes a bit minty but it's just plain water not flavoured and he said his did too - nobody else has an issue. Anyway we get back to our villa and go to the fridge to refill the bottles and then we notice something at the bottom of our bottles - it seems our dad had discarded his old chewing gum in the empty bottles the day before and forgotten about it and just refilled and put back in the fridge! So we drank gross old chewing gum water 🤦🏻‍♀️

Did you stay with him?

@TheLovleyChebbyMcGee & @TheCatsBlanket Continuing on the fridge theme, as a child I had a good sneaky slurp of what I thought was a dish of unset raspberry jelly. Sadly not, it was blood from a joint of beef. 🤢

<pushes lunch away>

Yes 😐 did turn out to be a mistake for other reasons.

Hold onto your hats for this one...
I made a cheese sandwich with grated cheese.
Sat down on the floor to eat it.
Dropped some cheese on the carpet, was just about to pick it up to put back on the plate when it started moving.
Our cat was on the floor next to me and omg I realised it was a segment of tape worm that had crawled out of her.
I started retching and can't eat grated cheese to this day.
She was down at the vets the next day for treatment 😱🤮

I found a splodge of jam on the garden wall once when I was about 4/5, little sis and I were very excited to taste it! It was bird shit. 😭

Not me but my fault (ish)
Went abroad with friend's family in early teens. Woke up to her lovely mum who'd spread half my Body Shop Body Butter on her toast and was retching. I'd left it in the fridge as an aftersun as I was silly and got burnt. She thought her husband had got some posh brekkie in. Apparently not delicious.

This is so funny and so visceral. Bless you and your game of pubs and your foamy vom 😂

When I was young I remember seeing that American type cheese from a squeeze tub - think tomato puree squeeze tub. I was helping unpack shopping and got so excited thinking my mum bought it after me constantly begging, I opened it and squirted it directly into my mouth, it was washing up liquid

Squid 🫣🫣

On holiday with my parents when I was about 8. Dad told me it was an onion ring. It was not 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

Cooking oil. It was dark and I thought it was squash.

Hungover as fuck as a student, I grabbed the first mug I saw from the kitchen worktop in my halls without looking inside it as I was so desperate for water. It turned out to have been used as an ashtray at the party we’d had the night before. Vomited all over the kitchen floor

God, some of these are disturbing!
im feeling quite lucky that my worse one was some out of date chewy milk swigged from the fridge!

Chewy milk!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Oh been there done that! Best description ever @Magpie50

I once ate half a pita topped with hummus before I lifted up the other half to shove in my mouth and realised the whole under side of the pita was completely covered in green mould. 🫣

My sister and I were having pizza and her cat sneaked in and stole a piece of pineapple, chewed it and spat it out. My sister later absent-mindedly ate it.

Nothing unusual, but I had a terrible cough and was recommended to try Pulmo Bailey. Worst thing I've ever had in my mouth - tasted like Satan's left gonad marinated in antiseptic.

When ds20 was about 3 I came home one evening and he was eating a petit filous yoghurt. I asked him if it was nice and he said yes because there was a green jelly tot in it. Yep he had just eaten a piece of mould. 😳

Oh my, I can smell it now, and I swear my scalp just started tingling.
