Would you rather burn the clothes you last wore or become allergic to the last food you ate?

Burn. It was only gym kit though I’d be sad to lose my £5 BNWT Vinted bargain cycling shoes.

I'll burn every item of clothing I own, rather than become allergic to toast!!

I wore new jeans and a new t shirt today so won’t be burning them . I won’t mind being allergic to grapes 😀

Does that include wine though? You might need a rethink!

I don’t care about clothes- none of the clothes I own are expensive or special to me. (Although actually I have some ‘sentimental’ clothes which I took from my parents’ house after they died, but I don’t tend to wear those much). So yes, I’m burning the last outfit I wore. And actually I would burn ALL of my clothes in preference to becoming allergic to cheese. It wouldn’t cost much to replace my clothes so it’s a no brainer.

The last clothes I wore were my work clothes so I'd burn them and just get some more from work - I don't want to be allergic to jelly beans!

Burn the clothes, I am not giving up bacon sandwiches!

Tbh I'd be fine burning my holey pyjamas, and becoming allergic to cheese strings would probably be good for me.

I cannot think of any clothes I wouldn't happily burn to avoid becoming allergic to a food item, especially a food I was eating recently!

Same.

Neither, thanks. I'd rather keep my clothes unburnt and not have any allergies.

murasaki · 23/04/2025 16:29

Burn the clothes. I cannot lose cheese from my life.

Does this not just say everything about how shit modern clothes are

Burn , it's my work uniform...
Wouldn't want to be allergic to chocolate!

To be fair, even if I were wearing my mum's vintage Mary Quant mini dress, I'd still choose cheese.
