Today, I polished off the delicious iced gingerbread cookies in the pantry. I'd assumed the little flecks on them were speckles of broken icing, but as I went to throw the cookie bag away, a larva crawled out. The hundreds of flecks were moth eggs. I've been eating the cookies for three days. FML

Today, after days of cleaning out pantry cabinets and throwing away infested food, I thought I had finally gotten rid of my moth problem. Then I vacuumed, and saw several dozen larvae coming out of my carpet. 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, I grabbed a handful of crackers from the kitchen, only to find it crawling with bugs. Apparently, my brother had made the same discovery earlier, but put the box of crackers back in the cupboard anyway. FML
Today, after already living with two wasps' nests, as well as gnats that plague our flower pots, we've also discovered moths in our pantry, who've ruined all of the food. FML
Today, I was eating a bag of almonds I got from the bulk food store, picking off what I thought was stringy remnants of their shells. When I finally got down to the bottom of the bag, I found a silk worm circling around the last almond left of a bag of about 200. FML
Today, I was eating a croissant. After eating half of it and was about to take another bite, a spider crawled out of one of the holes of flaky deliciousness and descended down a thread of web to the table, where it scuttled away. There was a whole family of them living in there. FML
Today, my house is suffering from an infestation of these tiny black beetles. After brushing my teeth tonight, I was rinsing out my toothbrush when I found that one of the beetles had curled up to die between the bristles. FML
Today, I found a mealworm in my cornflakes. I had already finished most of the bowl. I didn't make it to the toilet to throw up. FML
Today, at my job as a fast food manager, I saw one of my employees "trying to pick the bugs out" of our cookies. They were the raisins in them. FML
Today, I was feeling hungry, so I went to the kitchen to get a bowl of cereal. I found hundreds of weevils festering in my Lucky Charms. FML

A little upsetting, but that's the worst of it. You're actually probably a bit healthier now than you were before. Still, you should really store this sort of thing in an airtight container.

She probably just bought them at a store, it said they were in a cookie bag. Why would you bake cookies at put them in a bag? lol. Some people just don't think before they speak.

Maybe she did not bake 'em. But at least notice while you are eating them. You don't just stuff your face just because it's there. Check sometimes.

i hope you know you're going to have to throw out everything in your cupboard now. those things can literally get through sealed jars, i've know people it's happened to. and figure out where you got them from and stop shopping there, and freeze all your grains for a day as soon as you get home, it will kill them. but yeah something similar happened to me about 10 years ago. i was eating raisins, picked one up, and underneath was a larva. can't eat raisins to this day.

That happened to me with pistachios. I opened the shell, and instead of a yummy nut, there was a cocoon. Didn't eat the things again for another ten years.

How is this an FML? You just got a free serving of protein along with yours sweets. And its not like moth larva carry any diseases or anything. If they've been eating the same stuff you eat (cookies in this case), its highly unlikely you'll catch anything from them.

It's true. They are perfectly safe to eat. In fact they are in most of the dry goods we eat. That's why dry foods expire really, not because they go bad, but because there are insect eggs in them. Not to mention the various bug parts in everything you eat. I said everything.
