Just found out the grossest thing ever

Oh something this gross deserves to be tested, it would be irresponsible of me not to, right?

Moths aren't disgusting at all. I liked to hold them when I was a kid .

Just liked the feel of their wings.

As someone who ate snails, sea snails and grasshoppers, I can't find this gross

that sounds kind of magical

avoiding my cocopops til june should do the trick

According to FDA standards each cup of orange juice can contain up to ten fruit fly eggs and two maggots.

Moths aren't gross at all, I used to catch them as a kid too(once caught a hummingbird moth) I just don't like the idea of something pupating inside my wheat products.

they're not really big pretty moths usually. they often look like this.

I remember one time I was making scones I used wholemeal flour when I was sifting it there were things like baby silver fish in going through the sifter ever since then I say about scones there's a new one now silverfish scones.

I've opened breakfast cereal and found cochroaches in it gives you a bit of a shock and then you don't touch that kind of cereal again.

I can deal with bugs and bug parts. It is getting someone's hair in your food when you eat out that makes me cringe. That and the fact that few people seem to wash their hands after going to the bathroom.

I think the molds and rusts are what you should be concerned about when eating grains. They can cause bodily harm. Bugs are probably nutritious.

Frogs and cockroaches have been found in supermarket salads here, which causes particular disgust because it's an unusual occurence, and to think I have eaten in restaurants which I later found out had mouse and cockroach infestations.

Some cultures and/or historical periods might have eaten the moths, or cockroaches, as a food source, let alone the cereal (due of course to extreme want). Plus, I recently read Thomas Malthus' An Essay on the Principle of Population. Read the first few pages of that, especially the typical diet of the aboriginal people of what are now Canada, the USA, Australia and New Zealand around 1800, if you want to be grossed out.

Oh so that's how I didn't get to eat my soup. My Dad is frugal, so he always kept instant soup and oat meal packets in his truck camper. One day we went to the camp grounds, and he handed me an instant soup pack. I noticed a hole, and inspected the contents. It was quite full of an insect group's past, and looked like powder with tiny sea shells. I stuck it into his face, like he stucks bugs into ours, and said "Insect corpse soup, Daddy? " We used to put a bay leaf into the flour container to keep off moths to.

Oh nooooo, I love moths and there I am eating them!

A more common infestation in flour and other cereal grains is weevils. They can also be found in dried pasta.
