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

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 found maggots in the ketchup on my sausage. Too bad I had already eaten half of it. 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 halfway through eating a what I though was a delicious sandwich, when I turned it over and saw nasty green mold on the bread. 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 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, 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
Today, I was eating a packet of chips while watching TV. I saw a crumb on the table in front of me, so without thinking I picked it up and ate it. It wasn't a crumb. It was a tick. FML
Today, I decided to snack on some M&M's. I saw my dog sniffing something and realized one of my M&M's had fallen on the floor. To prevent my dog from eating the chocolate, I hurriedly snatched the M&M off the ground and ate it. When I bit down, I realized it wasn't an M&M. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Lol. When youre eating dates you should ALWAYS open them first to make sure theres no maggots or bugs inside, sometimes they look like tiny bunched up black seeds or dots, dont eat those!!

this is almost as overused as the "sounds like a shitty situation" pun

I don't know what's worse, eating a date or eating a maggot. FYL

If the date is sweet it isn't so bad :p

As disgusting as that might be, don't let it discourage you from eating healthy foods! I mean, if they're organic, you can't expect never to find an insect once in a great while. That probably doesn't help you, haha.

On top of that, processed foods like peanut butter Ann chocolate, all contain a small amount of insect parts. I know it's different when you can actually see it squirming, but still.

see now there are no bug parts in unhealthy food. This wouldn't have happened if you stuck to junk and fast food. Bugs won't eat em ;-) hahaha

I'm cool with the fact there are little bugs that are hiding in my raspberries, as they seem to just run around after I've rinsed the raspberries. Maggots though... nope.

At least you didn't find half of a big squirming maggot...

Or just tasting a whole maggot.

Better than finding half of a maggot!!

mmm protein!

I don't think maggots are protein, or at least not the time of protein I want in my body

#30, if they aren't protein, what are they? Insects, and their maggots, are a staple in many areas of the world where large animal protein is scarce.

Yeah, maggots are actually eaten in many parts of the world. They're fatty and an excellent source for amino acids.

that's why I prefer junk food-- cough dates are gross cough

Dates aren't healthy. They are just dried sugar bombs.

All fruit has a bunch of sugar in it, but it's natural sugar and not high-fructose corn syrup,
