We put a lot of trust into the companies and people that provide us with food. There’s
a lot of faith in the fact that the food we’re eating is free of any foreign objects, including
anything that was once alive (or still alive, in some cases). Either way, accidents do happen,
and often people don't realize there was something wrong until it's too late, so here are the
top 10 grossest things people have found in their food. Unless you've got a really strong
stomach you may want to put down that snack for now.
A Black Widow in a Bag of Grapes
When you open up a bag of grapes, what you're expecting is a sweet, juicy, and overall healthy
snack. You're not expecting there to be any danger. After all, the risk of eating grapes
should never be that high. One thing you definitely wouldn't think about encountering would be
one of the most terrifying spiders in the world. That would just be crazy. Unfortunately
for one Boston man, that crazy scenario came entirely true when inside of his bag of grapes
from Whole Foods he happened to find a live black widow spider. Yeah, if that's not enough
to put you off from eating grapes forever we're not sure what would do it. While a bite
from a black widow is rarely fatal, it can be painful, and if its venom is injected into
you it can cause vomiting, cramps, and extreme discomfort. You know, the kind of discomfort you
might feel if you found a spider in your bag of grapes. The man took the bag back to Whole
Foods, where the staff apologized profusely for the situation. The man was given some
Whole Foods gift cards in exchange for the trouble, and he also reportedly kept the spider.

A Mouse in a Loaf of Bread
What's the last thing you want a good sandwich to contain? Besides, like, alfalfa sprouts
or something. If you said a dead rodent, then congratulations, you are a sensible human
being. The combinations of meat, vegetables, cheeses, and condiments should probably not
contain any traces of mice, rats, voles or other small creatures. However, the world
is an imperfect and often cruel place, a place where a loaf of bread can absolutely contain
a dead mouse. This exact scenario happened in the UK, where a man was just getting ready
to make some sandwiches for his children when he discovered something in his bread that
would definitely make him consider going entirely gluten-free. Wedged into the loaf, as if it
had been baked into it at the bread factory, was a dead mouse. While the family did not
end up getting any mouse in any of their food, they had already eaten several slices from
the same loaf. Yeah, let that sink in for a minute. If you're not meticulously checking
every inch of your bread after this, then you are a braver soul than us. Understandably,
the man was quite shaken and filed a complaint against the company that made the bread. That
company was fined the grand total of £5,500, which doesn't seem like nearly enough for
something this disgusting. Apparently, this is not totally unusual as a mouse was recently
found in a loaf of bread in Quebec Canada as well.
A Cockroach in a Hash Brown
Hash browns can make any breakfast instantly better. Whether they're served in patty form
or in big chunks that you can eat with a fork, they pretty much are the best thing to wake
up to if you want a really hearty breakfast that is going to power you through the day.
It's especially great when hash browns are really crispy, concealing the soft, pillowy
potato underneath. Our mouths are watering just thinking about them. However, we're not
here to talk about delicious things, not today. You see, this list is about the gross things
found in food. This story takes place in a McDonald's during breakfast. As we all know,
McDonald's breakfast is one of the best things in the world. That's why they started selling
it all day. However, as one unsuspecting customer was about to find out, sometimes McDonald's
breakfast can betray you in the worst way possible. This customer took a few bites of
a hash brown before realizing the horrifying truth: there was a cockroach cooked inside
of it! Yes, the most disgusting bug on the planet had somehow been cooked into one of
the best side dishes known to man. How did McDonald's rectify this horrifying situation?

A Tooth in a Candy Bar
There's really nothing like a good old candy bar to satisfy a sweet tooth. Chocolate, nougat,
peanuts, caramel, and all of the other things that make candy bars great should never be
in doubt in terms of being delicious. However, there was at least one time where a candy
bar suddenly turned into a nightmarish scenario for one customer, when they discovered one
of the most horrifying things you could find in a candy bar. Remember how we used the term
"sweet tooth?" Yeah, that's going to take on a double meaning once you hear this story.
So, a woman in Texas felt like getting herself a Milky Way. As she was eating her sweet treat,
however, she bit down on something hard. Now, if you were eating a Snickers, which has peanuts,
you might not think anything of it really. However, a Milky Way is not supposed to have
anything crunchy in it, let alone something so hard that it can't be chewed. The woman
inspected the foreign object she had just been trying to ingest and discovered, to her
absolute terror, that it was a tooth. A human tooth. Upon investigation, it was determined
that this was not one of her own teeth that had fallen out. No, no. This was the tooth
of a total stranger.
A Chicken Head in a McDonald's Meal
Once again, McDonald's makes the list with another strange item found in someone's food.
To be fair, this one might not be all that weird in context. Let us explain. Back in
the day, McDonald's wanted to offer people something different, something that was a
little bit more grown-up than a box of chicken nuggets. So, they introduced to the world
McDonald's chicken wings. These wings were breaded, spicy, and by all accounts not actually
that bad. However, they were eventually taken off the market due to the high price and a
lack of popularity among their customers. Really, though, there could have been another
reason why these wings were taken off the market, and it had nothing to do with how
much they cost. One day, back in 2008, a woman and her child were enjoying a meal at a Virginia
McDonald's. The woman was happily eating her McDonald's wings. As she raised a wing to
her mouth, her child screamed at her to stop what she was doing and look. To the woman's
shock, what she was about to eat was not a wing at all: it was a deep-fried chicken head!
Luckily the woman was quick enough to not eat the crunchy cranium and was also able
to spin her disgust into a successful $100,000 lawsuit against the restaurant chain. The
manager tried to offer her two weeks of free meals, but the woman smartly declined.
A Centipede in Curry
There's nothing quite as comforting on a cold day than a nice bowl of curry. The spices,
meat, and vegetables all coming together to make a hearty meal that warms you up and delivers
a flavorful experience. By contrast, there may be nothing more disgusting in this world
than a centipede. There are many different varieties of these multi-legged monstrosities,
but they all have one thing in common: they are all beyond gross. So you can imagine the
horror, the absolute, sheer grossness of finding a centipede in your food. You may already
know where this is going, but we're going to tell you about it anyway. A man had purchased
a meal of chicken tikka masala from Tesco, a British grocery chain. He had taken his
meal home and was about to sit down and eat when something crawled out of his food. That's
right, not only was there a centipede in this man's meal, but it was still alive! If there's
anything more disgustingly horrifying than that, then we don't want to know about it.
The man immediately repackaged his meal and took it back to Tesco, where he was given
a gift card for his trouble. He eventually received an apology letter from the company,
but come on. How could that ever make up for something as horrifying as centipede curry?
A Toad in a Can of Diet Pepsi
What's more refreshing on a hot day than a nice cold can of soda? Crack it open, take
a sip, and immediately you're hit with that familiar sugar rush and bubbling sensation
of carbonation. There's hardly anything in the world that can beat that feeling. However,
if you really start to think about the idea of drinking something out of an opaque can,
it can start to get a little scary. Consider the fact that you will never be able to really
see what's going on inside your can, so there might be some kind of terrible surprise in
there and you wouldn't even be aware of it until it hit your lips. That terrifying scenario
is exactly what happened to a man in Florida as he was enjoying an ice cold Diet Pepsi
in his own backyard. Suddenly, he began gagging. Naturally, his wife became alarmed and asked
him what was wrong. What they found was that there was a foreign object inside the can
that had found its way to the top, almost sliding into the man's awaiting mouth. Fortunately,
these people were smart enough to report this horrifying incident to the FDA. Upon investigation,
it was found that the giant, slimy lump in the can of soda was, in fact, a toad. Yeah,
you might want to start drinking soda exclusively out of clear bottles from now on.
A Snake Head in a Can of Green Beans
Green beans are supposed to be healthy. They're supposed to be packed with vitamins and nutrients.
They're definitely not supposed to frighten you, but how else would you feel if you found
something foreign inside your can of green beans? You might feel a little bit put off.
Well, hold onto your hats, because as it turns out, you can find things in cans of beans
that might just put you off of eating them forever! This happened to a woman in Utah,
who was preparing some food for a church event. She had purchased roughly 30 cans of green
beans to use in a recipe and was obviously planning on using all of them. However, upon
opening one of the cans, she was met with a horrifying surprise, one that in some cases
would be considered some kind of omen. Inside of her can of green beans was the head of
a decapitated snake! Obviously, this was truly horrifying. It would be bad enough if that
was the only can of beans, but this woman must have looked at her other 29 cans and
decided that she did not want to try again. She was probably, rightfully, concerned with
what else she might find (maybe even the rest of the poor snake). She did what any sensible
person would do and took all 30 cans back to the store for a refund.
A Band-Aid in McDonald's Fries
For the third time, McDonald's makes the list of weird things found in people's food. We
all know that McDonald's may not be the healthiest of restaurants but does it stop us from enjoying
their food? Absolutely not. In particular, nothing could ever keep us away from those
McDonald's fries. They're so salty, crispy, and absolutely delicious when dipped in some
ketchup. There's nothing in this world that could ever make us think twice about eating
those fries. At least, that's what we thought until we heard this story about a customer
finding something truly unsettling in their order of McDonald's fries. A man in Santa
Maria had just picked up some McDonald's for lunch. He was ready to enjoy some delicious
fast food when one of the worst possible items turned up in his order of fries: a used band-aid.
We'll give you a moment to stop gagging. You good? Okay, let's move on. The man, unfortunately,
ended up chewing on this band-aid before realizing that something was wrong. He tried to complain
to the McDonald's location but was ultimately ignored. He took a photo of the band-aid and
put it on social media, where it quickly went viral. He eventually got an apology from the
manager and the employee whose band-aid it was. In addition, he was given a gift card,
but ultimately chose not to use it. We can totally understand that decision.
A Bat in a Box of Rice Krispies
We all remember what it was like to be a kid and seeing that a box of cereal had a prize
in it. You would usually dig your hand into the cereal and try to get the toy which was
usually buried at the bottom of the cereal bag. It was like a buried treasure, which
made finding the toy half as fun as actually using it. However, as you grew older you realized
that these prizes were usually just really cheap and just fell apart or got lost. That's
not to say that you wouldn't find other things in your box of cereal though. Only instead
of being a mildly fun toy or maybe a pack of stickers, it's something outright disgusting
and horrifying. That situation actually happened to a family in the UK. A teenager was pouring
herself a bowl of Rice Krispies when something came out of the box that definitely should
not have been in there. It would have been one thing to find a dead bug or something
small like that, but instead what this teenager got in her cereal bowl that morning was a
dead bat! The family filed a complaint against Kellogg's, and even though they were offered
a bunch of vouchers for free cereal, the family decided not to take them. They were obviously
put off of buying any Kellogg's products ever.
