...ew?

I opened a box of rice as part of my dinner. I dumped it into the frying pan, then lo and behold, I see this brown thing against the contrast of the white. It's an inch long worm. And to make it 84 times worse, it's ALIVE.

Anyone else find any foreign objects in their food lately?

Was this from a new box or a box that had been previously opened?

I had that happen to my Ramen Noodle soup once. I was so bummed.

This is why you should eat grits instead ;)

It can happen with any grain. Just be glad you can see to find them. :eek:

I can't remember finding anything gross, in my food, at least not lately, but, :barf:

like thats disgusting

EWWWWW. *shudder* You just managed to give me goosebumps! :eek: I hope you threw out that batch and opened up a new batch. :barf:

Just for future reference, what brand was it?

Yeah, I have had wormy dry foods.
I always freeze my flour and corn meal because I don't use them up fast enough. As long as I freeze that stuff I don't get worms! :lol:

Eww puke:

:barf:

It wouldn't hurt you. Good protein.

EWWWWW. *shudder* You just managed to give me goosebumps! :eek: I hope you threw out that batch and opened up a new batch. :barf:
lol I wouldve let the worm outside and ate it anyway

so...what did he taste like?

Now that will make you lose your appetite! ;)

Yuck that is gross.

Once I was making mac & cheese and I notice all these lil things in the pot with the macaroni and water. They were all these little worms and ugh it was nasty. It was the generic store brand and ever since then Ive stuck to Kraft. Other brands have stinky cheese anyways.

That's nasty. You never know what you're buying. Summertime is especially risky. I refrigerate a lot of food that normally goes in the cabinets in the summer. Chocolate is the worst. I know two people that have found worms in their Kit-Kat bars. Always refrigerate chocolate in the summer and never buy it from a vending machine.

Chocolate is the worst.
WHAT?!? :eek: :faint:

Yeah - chocolate is - especially when it has nuts in it!! As Janice says - refridgerate!!!


Well be GLAD it was a brown one - imagine a maggot in white rice? You'd never see it!!! :eek:

This may be off-topic but still related: Now that we have about seven days before the holy event of Ozzfest plays in my area, here is a bit of Ozzy-trivia:

Did you know that, according to Motley Crue guitarist Mick Mars, Ozzy snorted ANTS on the 1984 tour? :eek:

that's just disturbing!!!! Who would have ever thought such a thin' getting ready to just eat your RICE and there is a WORM in it that's just plain nasty should have taken it all back to where you bought it at!!!! LOL Prolly wouldn't have done any good but maybe they would have refunded your money or somethin' but my dad told me once that my mom found a TOENAIL cliping in some sort of food I think carry out though but all the same !!!! puke: :eek: :eek2:

I found a small worm inside my hotdog buns a couple of months ago. So i would guess bread can have them too.

I may never eat again :eek: ....But, on the other hand...think of it as extra value for the $ and youll feel much better :p

Well yeah, breads are made from wheat. :lol:

That's why I always refrigerate my bread. People think it's strange, but it works. ;) I also freeze my coffee grounds to keep them fresh longer. I swear by this...good stuff!

I found a frozen worm in a bag of frozen peas once. :grr:

Yeah...it happens. And I usually freak out.

To answer questions, no, the box wasn't open, thank god. Then I probably would have found an ant colony or something :lol:

And TJL, it was River Rice. Yellow and red box ;)

My mom found worms in a box of raisins once. :eek3:

DAMN. That's ****ing disgusting! :barf:

My dad told me that you eat atleast 5lbs of bugs a year..Only because you never see them, and you can't avoid them.

Eh, disgusting.
