That's NOT Supposed to be There!

This is a thread about bad things you've found in your food before. I'll start if off. A few years ago I bought a Mr. Goodbar and when I took a bite out of it, one of the peanuts was extra chewy. I spit the piece out and looked at it closely. I noticed that the so-called peanut had segments. That when I realized I had just taken a bite out of a maggot. Needless to say I haven't eaten a Mr. Goodbar since then.

my mother claims the same story about Mr. Gagbar.

my wife found a used bandaid in her mashed potatoes at a restaurant.

my former colleague's friend went to see her doctor, after she developed sores in her mouth. after examing her, her doctor informed her that the sores were caused by a sexually transmitted disease and proceeded to ask her about her recent sexual history.

the woman explained that she had been (faithfully) married to her husband for several years. also, she had not been intimate with her husband for some time, so that ruled out the possibility that the infection was due to her husband having an affair. after concluding that there was no way that she could've caught the disease via a sexual act, her doctor asked her to provide samples of food from her fridge that she had eaten in recent days. the samples were sent to a laboratory for tests.

when the results came back, the tests showed that a tub of coleslaw (that the woman had purchased from a drive-through branch of mcdonald's) contained TWO types of human semen.  the tests also confirmed that the semen contained the disease that the woman had been infected with.

the woman attempted to take legal action against the culprits but, due to the restaurant not being able to force its employees to provide semen / DNA samples, they were not able to pin-point the identities of the people responsible.

yeah, anyway, this story made my  stomach turn, and i haven't even eaten anything from a mcdonald's since i was a kid.

My mom found a slug in frozen broccoli spears when she was about my age.

My grandmother actually got an earwig IN HER MOUTH when trying to take pills one night but spat it out.

Worst I've found was a fly in a pre-prepared salad.? It could have been a lot worse; could have been half a fly.  And I got a free lunch out of it too (like I was in the mood to eat after that, but whatever.)
