One of my worst nightmares actually came true

Post Reply New Topic

You know that there's no way to close a can. Unlike a bottle that you can put the cap back on, a can doesn't have one. I've always had this...fear that when leaving my drink unattended something would fall into it and I would have no clue. Well, only a couple of days ago, something did.

I had a can of iced tea out, and I was watching tv. Well, I was too lazy to get up and get something to kill this fly that was annoying me. Eventually it disappeared. I figured it must have gone somewhere else. A little after the show is over, I'm reading, and still drinking the iced tea. Eventually, while sipping, there's this thing in the tea. I debate for a few seconds as to whether to keep drinking, after all, it could just be something like a bit of dust or just something that was in the tea, or I could see what it was. My curiosity got the better of me, and it's a good thing. You will not believe just what it was in the tea. It was a fly.

Of course, I spat what was in my mouth right out. I still haven't brought myself to open another canned drink and drink it. Although I probably eventually will. I'm not sure if it was a good thing I found out. If I'd just kept drinking, I'd have had no idea and would have no problem. Then again, it is a good thing, because imagine if I'd swallowed it and I'd gotten tapeworms or something like from fleas!

I feel your pain. I HATE it when things like that happen to me.

That's why I either pour the contents of the can into a glass, cover it with a napkin, or cup my hand over the can when I'm not drinking from it. In any case, it's best to never turn your back on your drink.

I learned that the hard way. Pouring it into a glass is a good idea. Much better than drinking it from the can, as I learned.

Yuck! Try going to a crazy, beer-drinking party and accidentally sipping from the "ashtray" can.

You'll probably die.

That must not taste good. I think you can still be okay.

One of my friends woke up one morning whilst camping, somewhat hungover he reached for the cartoon of orange that was under the fly sheet, he took a few big gulps before checking on why the juice seemed so lumpy, thats when he discovered it was full of dead wasps!

Probably no worst that eating one of these:- EAT THIS LOVELY BISQUIT!

One time my dad accidentally swallowed live wasps that had been swarming around in his guava juice. From the way he described it, it sounded like one of the worst things that could ever happen to somebody.

while a fly might be a rather disgusting addition to a drink, there are far worse things that can end up in your can. Bees and wasps love sweet drinks and swallowing a live hornet can cause all kinds of problems - especially for the hornet. And if the hornet is going down, it is taking you with it, in standard hornet fashion.

there are lids you can attach to the top of a can in order to keep your drink safe, however:

this is just a random example, there are many other types out there.
