Yuck! Have You Ever Eaten A Bug?

August 5, 2008 1:26pm CST
When I was a young child, my family had a bag of Cheetohs that had been left in a vehicle. I started eating them... and here is where my memory is fuzzy. I don't remember at what point I discovered the bug - in the bag, on a Cheetoh, or actually in my mouth. It was a large beetle (but I was a small child at the time, so perceptions change...), and the memory has stuck with me. (I think I went and vomited afterward.) How about you? Have you ever eaten a bug?

I hope I can forget the sick feeling when I chaw a fly in my tea.It tooks me more than one hour to clean my mouth and I eat nothing for about 2 days after that.Every time I remember it,I fill uncomfortable.It is really a horrible experience.

Yuck! I wouldn't want to find a fly in my drink. (You've heard the joke about the guy who tells a waiter that there is a fly in his soup?) Sometimes when you get a taste of something disgusting in your mouth, it may be helpful to eat something else with an overpowering taste to get rid of the disgusting taste... That reminds me of a story where a person heard something buzzing inside of his soda pop can and looked and avoided drinking a bee with his beverage... That would not have been good. Thanks for your reply! (Watch your tea before you drink it!) (What kind of tea was it? Are you still able to drink that kind of tea without thinking about the fly?)

I suppose that your experience is similar to mine with my bag of Cheetohs. Now, I look more carefully to make sure that there are no bugs before I eat! Cheers!

Yes,I have heard that joke.Trust me that you won't like to eat anything after you chaw a fly,although it is delicious.I have forgot what kind of tea it was,maybe jasmine tea.I was watching "Ugly Betty" and paid no attention to my tea.When I chaw the fly I thought it was the tea-leaf.Anyway,it is really a horrible experience.

Yes, I learned that I should look very carefully at what I eat before I eat it! We learn through mistakes what we should do (or not do) the next time...

I ate some kind of chocolate covered bug when I was a kid that my friend's dad gave to us. They were supposed to be from Germany or something and the only thing that I can remember was that it was crunchy and the chocolate wasn't all that good.

I have heard of chocolate covered bugs before - chocolate covered ants and chocolate covered grasshoppers... I like chocolate, but I think that I would probably pass... Thanks for the reply!

LOL - I think that reality shows often have a segment where they make the people eat bugs... and because they hope to make it to the end to win the million dollars, they eat the bugs as fast as they can! (Yuck! Some of them are pretty gross bugs, too!) Thanks for your reply!
