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?

*gags a little* that's pretty gross. May wanna check your food out with their expiry dates n such.

Expiry dates give no bearing on if there are insects inside. The maggot likely grew on the date and was therefore there before it would have expired.

There are certain fruits I *always* cut in half to check for maggots: dates, cherries, plums, sweet chestnut and the like. The maggots grow from eggs that are planted there by moths while the fruits are still on the trees. So them being there has nothing to do with the expiration date.

Maggots can't read expiry dates!

So you go on tinder and eat the people who date you?

I once ate half a bowl of cream of wheat only to realize the bowl had been filled with larvae eggs. I feel your pain.

This was similar to my FML that was rejected:/

At least it wasn't half of a large, squirming maggot. :D Too soon? Well, I admire the health conscious effort, regardless.

Well that's better than biting into it and having a huge sack of baby spiders open and spill into your mouth as they crawl around everywhere.... Your welcome

At least it wasn't filled with a giant spider sack and thousands of spider babies flood into your mouth..... Your welcome

Always split a date in half & look in before eating. They're very sweet & attract bugs. Also, don't eat too many, they're packed with sugar. Apples are a better choice if you're trying to eat more healthy.
