Gross Stuff You’ve Found in Food?

[KAMALARAMBO: BOOMSHAKALAKA!!!]

I didn’t know what the best topic title would be to vent about this recent annoyance so figured this could be a fun one.

Anyway, mine is still kind of gross, but very mild in comparison to all the things it could be. Anyway, has anyone ever had a potato chip that tastes like it’s been double salted? Like it’s just WAY, WAY too salty?

I got a party size can of sour cream and onion Pringles. I usually stick to the salt and vinegar, but sometimes I get these ones because it’s a flavor I still like and is significantly bigger for only $0.10 more (unfortunately Pringles doesn’t do salt and vinegar party size, at least not at the stores I go too.

I took a bite and I just get the impression some factory part malfunctioned. Like it ran the chips through the part of the plant that salts them then ran it through the same part.

A small strand of hair, but that's likely happened to more people than just me.

I once ordered a grilled cheese sandwich. I bit into it an thought they accidentally put bacon in it. But when I opened it to check. There was a used bandaid in it.

Bacon > Bandaids, every time.

In my last year of high school, found a finger nail in my chicken sandwich and the school said I made it up to cover their ass. My school lunch the rest of the year was pretty much flamin' hot Cheetos and paydays.

Did you finish the sandwich?

I found a fingernail in my Hardee’s burger once. A friend claimed they were served a snot rocket burger at that same location, and I’m certain that was the store’s final year before they closed.

Canadians may remember the Nielson chocolate Will-o-paks: Golden Buds, Willowcrips, Slowpokes etc. These boxes came plastic wrapped.

I cracked open a package of Slowpokes (chocolate, caramel, peanut clusters) and started snacking, while watching tv. After a few, I was chewing one and it felt like something moving in my mouth. I glanced into the box and there were a bunch of small insects, I assume they were maggots. Absolutely disgusting.

No. My Nan complained and they gave me 2 free sandwiches.

Nothing really gross..

I once was eating a ready made “spaghetti & meatballs” meal, the ones you get in supermarket deli fridges and you just heat them up in a oven or microwave.

Anyway as I was eating it, I found a large clump of meat jelly in it. They probably use it as filler in the meatballs that some how got unmixed and packaged, but man it was appetite destroying.. like something you find in dog food.

I remember a story from about a decade ago when someone found a used condom in their hamburger from Burger King. They knew something seemed off, but didn't confirm until they took a second bite. Yeah.

This one time I had Arby's

When I was a kid I went to a restaurant once and ordered a lemonade and they served it with like large lemon wedges in it. But the thing is they never bothered to remove the fruit sticker on the lemon before cutting it up and throwing it in so it was just there floating in the drink. It grossed me out so much and to this day I can't eat fresh fruit without doing a complete check over to make sure the sticker is removed, and I can't drink freshly juiced juice without checking the fruit first to make sure there's no sticker on it.

Green beans.

I ordered a Loco Moco from a local Hawaiian restaurant and they made it with mushroom gravy instead of brown gravy. When I called to complain they claimed that is how they are supposed to be made (which is a load of crap). I have never gone back there.

I got a box of Corn Pops after the Kelloggs strike ended, as I don't cross picket lines. It's clear I got a box that was made during the strike, though, as there was a piece of wood a bowl I ate about the size of a penny. I'd heard quality control went to absolute hell during the strike, but I guess scabs are even more incompetent than I thought.

Pineapple on pizza.

I once got a Swedish Fish in my bag of Wine Gums.

Not gross, just odd.

Balut. As a kid you get curious and fiddle around with it to see the small duck. There's a bit of a beak forming, and vaguely feathers, and most of all big eyes staring at you. A curiosity when you're young or first experiencing balut.

Honestly, after that? Stop playing with your food and eat it if you find the moment to eat it again. Good stuff, really.

One time in high school I was having a José Luis, and it was just pure mold on the inside. As soon as I bit into it, there was nothing but this super weird taste. When I held it back to look inside it was just...empty with mold.

There's a pizza place not too far from me thay I would order from quite a bit because it's the only place that delivered to my address. One night there was a stone in my pizza. Called to report it and was told I could have a new pizza that night, but it would be a three hour wait (it was during the week, a three hour wait was pushing it towards after midnight/one in the morning), but that's all they were willing to offer. Haven't ordered from them since.

My cousin however ordered from the same place a few weeks after, and she was lucky enough to find a staple in her pizza.
