I'm a terrible mum. I just picked them up 🤷 as I thought they were the cooked version 🤢. They ate the whole pack before the guy told me. It's going to be a long messy weekend. 😭 They are going to be unwell and it's all my fault

Also don’t waste your energy on the numpties on this thread, Op.

That's true.

Open water swimmers drink it after swimming in lakes for the reason it kills bacteria!

If it's true about the swimmers then just.... Why?! 🤦🤦‍♂️
Every other nation in Europe swim in lakes all life long. Surprisingly, it's known as... Swimming.
The bacteria angle is some batshit stuff. Similar to Calpol - one has to be British to understand. But one ain't British.

I’m just about to go to a country where tourists often get stomach problems, and the nurse at my local surgery suggested flat coke as a remedy, so it must be some help. Not sure if it would be a good idea for children though. I hope everyone is OK.

@Boo1321 that's not funny in any way making al laughing emoji about killing children just no

Boo1321 · 24/08/2023 22:22

It’s not sensible in any way to feed your kids things out of a packet that clearly indicates it’s for cooking. Just no

If you had an ounce of common sense you’d realise you have to specify in sentences in what time frame things have happened. Avoiding this thread now - Have fun

Fecksakereallygodreally · 24/08/2023 22:25

@Boo1321 did you read the thread. Did you see the whole thing is practically identical to the cooked versions. Also smart ass did you pay attention to the fact I'm dyslexic. 🤷🙄.

Cornishmary · 24/08/2023 22:26

I should feed them arsenic next time

Come to Cornwall! Our kids live off Arsenic. Anytime we pick blackberries or grow veg....mmmm delicious organic arsenic. 🤣🤣🤣

Sometimes the arsenic is SO good its sold in Waitrose!

Hope they're okay OP! Sorry you had to put up with some divs on this thread. Sounds like a shitty time and an easy mistake to make tbh!

Mum guilt truly sucks! X

Boo1321 · 24/08/2023 22:26

Aaah yes the fact you’re dyslexic which I can magically sense through the screen…. what??!🙈🫣😂

Isn't all chorizo raw? It's dried meat, isn't it?

Not all chorizo is raw. Mexican is raw but Spanish isn't.

Boo1321 · 24/08/2023 22:27

If it’s in a raw chicken type packaging I would think anyone with sense would double check … 🤐

Fecksakereallygodreally · 24/08/2023 22:28

@Boo1321 nothing magical about it it's called looking at my posts.....

But it doesn't work! It's a myth that has been debunked and there is zero science and reasoning as to how it could possibly work.

Can Coke kill bacteria? No. Viruses? No. Salmonella? No. Is it acidic enough to acid-destroy bugs? No. Do we need sugar and/or sweeteners to calm upset stomach? Hell no. Carbonation and phosphoric acid can actually have a detrimental effect on digestive health, just like sweeteners.

That nurse is a fool. Now that you know it, I'd be very cautious taking ANY health advice from her.

unicornhair · 24/08/2023 22:29

I had a teacher ring in sick who had done the same thing. She had a day off and a bit of an upset tummy.
We all laughed our pants off in SLT meeting when I had to do the absence update.

Fecksakereallygodreally · 24/08/2023 22:31

@Cornishmary that made me laugh. I have a massive monster blackberry bush in the garden. I did try to get them to pick them and then eat them. Failed 😂.

What's the difference between mexican and Spanish chorizo? I'm really interested now every day is a chance to learn 😁
