This is the STRANGEST thing--ever happened to you?

I was at a farmers market, about 22 yrs ago, with my parents and I was really hungry so I grabbed a nice green healthy lookin' head of broccoli. I started chompin' as we were leaving.
On closer inspection I seen LOTS of green worms. They blended in so well. I was in the back seat of the car, so opened the door and spit it out as we were moving. I swallowed a few mouthfuls before the spitting~yuk
I still love broccoli...I am just more careful when buying all veggies from local sellers.

Reading all these stories reminded me of my worm incident

If I weren't so tired, I'd probably be sick! Laura since I'm a take-back queen, I have to ask. Did you call the store or think of returning it and getting your money back or a replacement? They owe you......big time........especially if it was the Cool Whip made with "real" cream! }(

So here's my story. Quite a few years ago, I bought a small box of chocolates from Whole Foods. When I bit into one of the pieces, there was something chewy with a slippery texture. I pulled it out of my mouth to try and decipher what it was. It took awhile but it ended up being a piece of a latex glove (and yes, the "other" thing it could have been did occur to me.) Ewwwwwwwwww!!!!! :eek: Of course I'm thinkin' what could have been on that piece of latex. I immediately called the store and all they did was apologize and send me a new box of chocolates. How about them paying for the blood tests that I continued to have to make sure I didn't contract anything???? Geesh!

All of our stories are of things we know about. Can you imagine the things we DON'T know about? Ooh ahh, ickey pooh!!!!! x(

Oh, and Dave, I don't think I'd be coming over to your house for anything involving food! :7

Another Lobster story . . .

When I was in high school, I spent the Christmas holiday with my sister who lived in Arizona at the time. She thought it would be great to buy a couple of lobsters and cook them at home for Christmas dinner. We got them home, put the biggest pot on the stove and started the water boiling. She dropped the first one in only to realize that her pot was not big enough, handed me a potato masher to "hold him in there" and proceeded to drive to work to get a bigger pot. It broke my heart - and damaged me for life when it comes to eating lobster!

OMG Kate, I'm so grossed out I can't feel my toes. Worms are my own personal hell....

When my DD was still in diapers, so this was about 12 years ago, I found a worm in her diaper when I was changing her. I called the doctors in a panic thinking she had some sort of parasite. They had me bring the worm in a jar. So I called in sick to work and rushed her over to the doc. She just about laughed herself off the chair. It was some sort of mealy (sp?) worm and most likely was in the diaper when we put it on her. The next week I purchased the usual jumbo pack of Huggie's and proceeded to open the package to stack them in the cupboard. When I started to rip the top it just burst open and worms were everywhere, on the counter, the floor, inside the remaining grocery bags. I was DISGUSTING! When I went to return them, the clerk at the store was all snotty, gave me some story about how harmless these types of worms were and tossed my bag in a pile returns. I went right to the companies district manager (he was horrified) and after examining some other diapers, found that every bag was infested. They had backed the isle up next to the cat and dog food isle and the worms came from some infested pet food. Mealy worms love cotton and dry pet food. :(

That reminds me of a couple of run-ins with worms.
When I was in France, I bought some hazel nuts/filberts from a market and was eating them. I had just chowed down on half of one, then looked at the other half and saw a small white work curled up in the center. I couldn't eat hazel nuts for years after that!

Another time, I was going for a nature walk, and came across a wild raspberry bush. Yum! I had eaten a half-dozen berries when for some reason I decided to look at the next one more carefully. Cupped in the center was another one of those little white worms. I just wondered how many I'd already eaten!
 
The diaper and the worm story was the grossest story ever!:eek: I literally feel like throwing up, I know you felt the same!

Lainie, when I picture cows, its always the black and white milk cows with their babies we used to pass by on our way to work when we lived on Park City Utah, not the brahma bulls you are talking about...and I know , you don't eat the milk cows, just the other ones, but still...I have a hard time with it, along with the lobster. I was told they "scream" when you drop them into boiling water!:eek: :eek: Probably an old wives tale, but it broke my heart to hear it!

Yeah, well even the milk cows used to terrify me. I was kind of a wimp for a country kid. But yeah, I've seen cows be sweet and peaceful. I used to have a favorite that was a tan Jersey--she was so soft and had those big sweet cow eyes.

OK, that is THE most disgusting thing I've ever heard! And I cannot believe the sales clerk was so cavalier about it. Maybe some worms in HER undies would put her in her place!

I remember once when I was a kid, we were at our municipal pool, & I bit into a nectarine. When I went to take the next bite there was a worm peeping out & waving around. That freaked me out, but not as much as a box full of 'em! EW! And why were they even there? I can understand the fact that they were NEXT to food, but I was not aware diapers were considered dinner for worms.

I didn't take it back. I figured it'd be too easy for them to accuse me of eating it & then trying to return it. Although I don't know anyone who'd make up such a bizarre story to get a free 1/2 tub of whipped cream. :p
 
These stories are so gross.

Here's mine. I was fixing bacon and proceceded to pull apart the slices and put in the frying pan. I got to this one slice and it had this round greyish thing in it. This round thing was then in the next several slices so in total it would have been about 3/4 inch in diameter before it was sliced. It had to be some kind of cyst or tumor that the pig had.

I swear, the next time I get a craving for a "not so clean" food, I am gonna refer back to this thread....if these stories don't kill the craving I don't know what will.}( Sick.
