Just finished a bag of Wheat Thins with bugs in them....

I ate termites one time on purpose, when I was in Mexico, they tasted like peanut butter.

Once again.... DISGUSTING!!!!

I had about 30 silverfish in a bag of Cheerios and about 50 more in the box a few years ago. *shudders*

Eh, gross.

Can't believe anyone could be so calm about this... I would flip

Bug extracts are also a driving force behind the reddish coloring of many common foods, like yogurt or ice cream. Here's an article about it.

One example is carmine, derived from cochineal, a scale insect. It's one of the rare water-soluble red dyes that resist degradation from sunlight (thanks, Wikipedia). The reason I'm familiar with this is because it is one of the very few ingredients that have been revealed about the ages-old secret recipe in my favorite liquor, Campari.

Mmm, now that's a tasty bug.

I dont know why im even posting in this thread...

That isn't mold, watch the whole thing.

That video is so faked it's unbelievable. That just could not happen.

Oh, did I just make you spit out your Negroni? Sorry about that.

Let's take this sort of thing into perspective. Many more of you would throw up if you realized how many insects and/or small arachnids we inadvertently swallow in our sleep.

EDIT: Disclaimer: I really do like Campari, by the way; I'm not joking about that. Search my posts, and you'll find one where I extol the virtues of this Milanese bitter.

Please! Just stop!

Please! Just stop!

Don't worry. I will. That last one has been found to be largely false on Snopes, anyway.

(Now, about those inadvertent swallows by motorcyclists, well, that may be a different story... Oh c**p, sorry, I'm doing it again! )

That is pretty disgusting but hearing of weevils reminds me of the scene from "Master and Commander".

Captain Aubrey: "Do you see those two weevils, Doctor?...Which would you choose?"
Dr. Maturin: "Neither. There's not a scrap of difference between them. They're the same species of Curculio."
Captain Aubrey: "If you had to choose. If you were forced to make a choice. If there were no other option."
Dr. Maturin: "Well, then, if you're going to push me. I would choose the right-hand weevil. It has significant advantage in both length and breadth."
Captain Aubrey: "There, I have you!...Do you not know that in the Service, one must always choose the lesser of two weevils?"

That's what I thought, too...
