Today, I bit into a Reese's Cup that had been sitting on my desk for a while. As I did, half of a yellow meal worm fell out and landed in front of me, the other half was in my mouth. It was wiggling. FML

Today, I bit into a cereal bar and thought the inside was oddly damp. I took a look at it and saw a maggot worm wriggling around. Its friend was in my mouth. FML

Today, instead of reaching for some unhealthy food, I tried to eat some dates instead. It was all fine until I bit one in half and saw a rather large, squirming maggot inside. FML

Today, I decided to snack on some MandM's. I saw my dog sniffing something and realized one of my MandM's had fallen on the floor. To prevent my dog from eating the chocolate, I hurriedly snatched the MandM off the ground and ate it. When I bit down, I realized it wasn't an MandM. It was a dead beetle. FML

Today, while eating a sandwich, I saw a worm. Knowing that my friend always tries to scare me with fake worms and insects, I bit it to show her I knew it was fake. It was real. FML

Today, I bit into my egg sandwich, and when I looked back into it, there were 5 long, gray, hairs leading from the sandwich into my mouth. FML

Today, I was drinking from a cup with a built-in straw. After taking a long sip, I noticed a weird taste. Upon investigation, I found a small caterpillar wedged inside the straw. FML

Today, I was feeling down and decided to eat one of my roommate's chocolate Pop-Tarts to cheer myself up. I took a big bite and thought it tasted "off". It was full of live maggots. FML

Today, I was eating a bowl of cereal and noticed something float to the top. On closer inspection, it turned out to be a mouse turd. I had already eaten half the bowl. FML

Today, I was eating lunch outside with my friends, when a spider fell on one guy's back. I glanced at it and opened my mouth to warn him when another guy flicked it and it went into my mouth. I can still taste it. FML

Today, I found a roach in my takeaway. I found it after I felt something hard in my mouth and spat pieces of it back out onto my plate. FML

sitting on your desk for awhile? How long a while is this? If it's like a day, FYL. If it'd been sitting out for like a month, then YDI for eating something that's been sitting out for that long.

What sucks more is the feeling and memory you get when you see another Reese's.

Okay, so I'm the OP on this (and have since created a real account) so here goes: The Reese's Cup had been on my desk for about 18 hours. I tend to go through chocolate slowly, and have never had a problem before. A coworker had given it to me, completely wrapped, and I had never thought to question how long he had it. Turns out, it had been on his desk since Christmas. Completely disgusted, I did some research, and here's what I found: http://consumerist.com/5130742/man-finds-meal-worms-in-reeses-brownie-after-taking-big-bite http://www.healthmad.com/Health/Is-Your-Food-Bugged.114804 Apparently, it isn't all that uncommon to find meal worms in peanut butter products, but I still felt like sharing this FML with the world. According to the second link, one pound of peanut butter can contain 60 bug parts, and one pound of chocolate can contain 80 bug parts. (And yes, I did look up the color of the worm before posting, it WAS a MEAL WORM!) I think I'm going to lay off the sweets for a while. To make things worse, my fiancee made spaghetti last night, and all I could think of was the meal worm. I guess this is God's way of punishing me for breaking my diet. FML.

#1: How, exactly, are you supposed to check a Reese's Cup? Seriously, tell me how and then I'll tell the OP they deserve it. -_-

It didn't really have a taste, but the texture... it was awful.

Oh my god, that is gross. Thanks OP for doing additional research......I think lol. I have heard others say that most of us wouldn't want to know what comes into contact or is flat out in the products we consume.... I am glad the reese cups I have at my house are in the freezer.
