• I once took a nice, healthy bite of blueberry coffee cake. It turned out to be regular coffee cake covered in mold. I couldn’t get the smell and taste out of my sinuses for hours. © Youre_ARealJ*** / Reddit

• It was dark, I was hungry and sleepy, so I shoved a piece of bread in my mouth, so I could go back to sleep. It didn’t taste different. The next morning, I opened the pack, and all the pieces were fully molded. Surprisingly, nothing happened; my stomach didn’t hurt. © HedgehogLuna / Reddit

• My brother’s girlfriend came to meet us for the first time. She was gorgeous, but after a while, we noticed a foul smell coming from her. We stayed silent and didn’t say a word, but the smell got worse. After she left, I went to the guest bathroom and was petrified to find, hidden in the trash, meters and meters of toilet paper soaked in what looked like beef stew.
  I was confused and asked my brother about it. He turned pale and explained to me that they had beef stew at a restaurant earlier that day before visiting us, but he didn’t have any further idea how or why it got into her purse.

• I saw two people sitting directly across from each other on a train. One person was asleep. The person sneezed, and snot/phlegm landed on the sleeping passenger. When that person woke up, they mistook it for food and sucked it off their shirt. © bornadecadetoolate / Reddit

• I was in a restaurant with my mom while waiting for her car to be repaired nearby. We ordered a coffee and sat down. While we were sitting there, a strange boy was staring at us from the corner of the room as he ate his burger. He spat out the mushed-up burger, poured some salt on it, and started eating the mush with his hands. I started gagging and retching and had to leave immediately. © FordstopS / Reddit

• I saw a guy in a Walmart men’s bathroom eating a rotisserie chicken off the baby changing station. We made eye contact, exchanged weird expressions, and I just decided to leave.

• My mom got me this truffle Easter bunny. It was only about a month after I got it. The outside shell was perfectly fine, so when I sat down and took a bite, I was immediately hit with this extremely weird, almost sour fruit flavor, and I thought, “Something’s not right.” I peeled the outer shell off, and to my horror, it was completely covered in a white/yellow fungus. © bumblebubee / Reddit

• A couple of weeks ago, I was happily munching on some raspberries while watching a movie in a darkened room, and something tasted off. So, I turned on the light, and to my horror, I discovered I was eating maggots. © brickbaterang / Reddit
  

• While working at Florida’s great theme parks, I witnessed a couple cleaning their baby in the drinking fountain, which are typically located right outside of the restrooms. I immediately called the custodians, and to this day, I refuse to drink from any drinking fountain. © So_I_Wont_Get_Fined_ / Reddit

• I got a box of raisins out of the cupboard when I was a kid and grabbed a few handfuls as a midnight snack. The next morning, when the lights were on, I went to put the box back, and was mortified to find it was full of ants. I'm not 100% sure if they got there before or after I ate the raisins, but it's still pretty gross to think about. © SFiceti / Reddit

• As a kid (10 or 11), I had leftover Chinese noodles. Knowing nothing about food safety, I put them in the turned-off oven for later, similar to what I had seen my family do with uneaten pizza. Well, I forgot about it for about 3 days. After finding it, I figured it should still be good, right?
  It was the slimiest, most foul thing I have ever tried to this day. I didn’t even think to smell it before trying. © zeecapteinaliz / Reddit

• My grandma had this huge plant in her backyard, and we used to cut aloe to extract the gel. It was a hot day, and I was sweating. I didn’t have a better idea than using my hand to swipe the sweat off my face, and suddenly, a bitter taste invaded my mouth. I didn’t even touch my lips, and that taste spread through my mouth.
  I washed my teeth... Nothing... Mouthwash... Nothing... drank water, soda... Nothing... I even ate like 250gm of sugar and nothing! That flavor is still the grossest thing I’ve ever tasted, and that was like 25 years ago. © DemostenesWiggin/ Reddit
