Today, I bought a 3 lb bag of pears. The first two bites were delicious! The third bite revealed a worm and its thousands of eggs. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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, 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 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
Today, I tasted a perfectly salted, crispy, and dead carpenter ant hidden in my bag of pistachios. FML
Today, I found out that worms in apples aren't something that you just see in cartoons. FML
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, I went to the store for one thing: eggs. I came out with eggs, a new plant I didn’t need, and a jar of pickles that I’ll never eat. At least the eggs didn’t roll out of the bag this time, especially now they're practically considered a luxury item. FML
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 ordered groceries online and thought I’d gotten a good deal on apples. I didn't notice they were sold individually, so now I have 36 apples sitting in my kitchen. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

The early bird gets the worm. And its offspring.

Like the tootsie roll pop commercial, someone must’ve asked, “How many bites to get to the worm inside? One...two.... *crunch!*”

Most of the time, if you find a worm in your food, chances are, that the worm found it delicious too.

Hey, at least it wasn’t half a worm.

At least you had a good pair of pears first.

As I understood it, OP only got 2 good bites of the first (and probably last, after that discovery) pear.

I hate to get protein when I was only planning for vitamins.

Where were the pears grown?

Well, uh, I don't know if this makes it BETTER, per se, but since the sort of worm you'd find in fruit like that is most likely a larval form of another insect (fly, moth, etc...), the rest of your discovery was probably not eggs, but more likely the worm's poop.
