Thought I could see a bit of popcorn so I picked it up and put it in my mouth….it wasn’t popcorn

It tasted very woody… I spat it out and guzzled down drink before rushing to brush my teeth and tongue. Ew

Omg!! That is grim.

Urghhhh

why in gods name would you eat something off the floor like that???

MandyMotherOfBrian · 05/01/2024 22:39

Um, clean or used?

How on earth do you pick up a random item - presumably off the floor - and eat it? 😂😂 At least you didn't try to eat a chocolate raisin 💩

What cat litter looks like popcorn??? 😂

Well that'll teach you not to eat random things lying around! Sorry OP but don't have much sympathy for you!

Our son ate half a ramekin of kibbles just before Christmas. Only stopped after I pointed out they weren’t human nibbles.
(Recycling next day so I’d emptied the last of the box. He did admit they’d tasted a bit niche 🤣)

I once found myself playing with a cat bouncy ball with my mouth that I then remembered I’d recently seen sat in the litter tray 🙄

Iamacatslave · 05/01/2024 22:49

Was it the clumping variety?

Icantsleepagain · 05/01/2024 22:49

I can sense this is going to turn into the random and disgusting things we have eaten off the floor competition. OP I applaud you, if anything for making me laugh.

I licked some mustard off my sleeve after a nappy change once. Envy

Not the floor. In my bed

Urrghh you need to learn the 5 second rule...and it only applies if it's your food 😂

Salesarefullofcutpricesprouts · 05/01/2024 23:00

So litter off a bum then?
Or a paw at best?

Tasted a bit niche ConfusedConfusedConfused

I’m assuming off the paw. God I’m hoping off the paw. Not much better but still.

How I got confused? Well I was laid in bed watching tv and eating popcorn and you know the little scraggy bits at the end of the pack? Where they are all broken up. Well a few fell so I picked them up to eat. And then I found what I thought was one of the bits to discover it really wasn’t

“Tasted a bit niche”

Yes, honestly! We’d received a generous gift that afternoon, a (modest) hamper from Fortnums. He genuinely thought they were some sort of fancy nibble 🤣

Glad you lived to tell the tale 🤣🤣 oh OP what are you like 😂 but after your explanation I get how it happened and as disgusting as it was, you will be fine, just double check what you pick up and put in your mouth again.

My Mum ate what she thought was a sultana off the kitchen worktop (the sultanas had recently been out of the cupboard so it wasn’t a huge leap), it turned out to be a piece of cat kibble Grin
