We’ve already talked about the gross things that people have found in their food. However,
if you thought that was the end of it, then you have another thing coming. Turns out,
there are plenty of gross things that have been found in packaged food all over the world,
and some of the might truly horrify you. So on that note, these are the top ten grossest
things found in food (part 2!).
A Caterpillar in a Cake
Cake is one of those special desserts that everyone loves. Whether you're at a party,
getting a slice at a coffee shop, or just getting some cake for yourself because you've
had a long hard day, it's hard to deny that cake can really lift your spirits. Of course,
that's all dependent on whether or not there's anything weird going on in the cake. No, we're
not talking about those times when you see a delicious cake and it turns out to have
raisins or nuts in it, or, God forbid, it's a carrot cake. No, we're talking about something
far more terrible than any of those possibilities. What if you were eating cake and there was
something in it that shouldn't be there? That's what happened to one Birmingham woman back
in 2011. She was about to enjoy a piece of cake when she noticed something odd about
her piece: something in it was moving. Now, that is not a normal thing to see in a cake,
so obviously, she investigated further. She then discovered that her slice of cake had
a live caterpillar in it! How a live caterpillar managed to get into the cake is still a mystery,
but there's an even funnier twist to this story: the cake was actually made by weight
watchers. Yeah, we're pretty sure that a live caterpillar in a slice of cake would definitely
keep us from eating it. Maybe that was their plan all along?

more gross things.
A Syringe in a Breakfast Sandwich
There are plenty of reasons to get a fast food breakfast sandwich: you need something
quick on your way to work, you're trying to cure your hangover, or the most obvious reason:
they are typically delicious. There's just something about the combination of egg, meat,
and American cheese piled on top of an English muffin or a bun that just seems to bring out
the very best in every ingredient. It doesn't have that many ingredients, so you're not
usually expecting the restaurant to put something on there that doesn't belong. Of course, people
make mistakes, and sometimes there does end up being an extra ingredient, and sometimes
that extra ingredient is something truly terrifying. No, we're not talking about pickles or olives.
We're talking about something far more terrible. What happened was, back in 2001 a woman ordered
a breakfast sandwich from Burger King. It was one of their classic long breakfast sandwiches,
the ones that came on something that looked like a hot dog bun. As she bit into the sandwich,
something pointy stuck in the cheek. She opened up the sandwich to see what was going on,
only to discover one of the worst possible things to find in your food: a needle tip
from a syringe. How this happened, no one can really say, but obviously she was very
worried that she had contracted a deadly virus.
A Frog in Frozen Veggies
Frozen vegetables are pretty much a staple in anyone's home. After all, they keep for
a long time, they're very handy to use in recipes, and they’re just as healthy as
fresh vegetables. However, those bags of veggies sometimes contain extra surprises. We're not
just talking about a piece of broccoli in your bag of cauliflower, either. It can be
much, much worse than that in reality. How much worse, you ask? Come along with us as
we tell you about what one family discovered in their bag of frozen vegetables. In 2010,
a Michigan couple was getting ready to cook some vegetables in the morning. The man suddenly
heard his wife screaming in the kitchen. He rushed in to see what the commotion was about
and discovered what had caused the screaming in the first place: a frog had been included
in the couple's bag of vegetables. What was worse was that the vegetables had been thawing
in the fridge overnight, so the frog was now also partially thawed out. They immediately
reported the issue to the FDA and the grocery store where they bought the vegetables.
A Slice of Human Skin on a Chicken Sandwich
Getting more meat on your sandwich than you were expecting is sometimes seen as a bonus.
For example, let's say you order the double cheeseburger at Wendy's, but they end up giving
you the triple at no extra cost. That would be a pretty huge win. Another example would
be getting chicken nuggets and finding extra nuggets in your box. Basically, how could
extra meat ever be a bad thing? Well, rest assured that sometimes when you're not expecting
there to be some extra protein on your sandwich, it can be pretty disconcerting to find some.
Back in 2005, a Florida man went into Arby's and ordered a chicken sandwich. He began enjoying
his meal but soon came across a weird texture in his sandwich. Now, a weird texture in any
food is already a warning sign that something is not right, but this story is about to get
a whole lot worse. The man opened up his sandwich and found one of the worst possible things
that could ever be included on a sandwich: human skin. He immediately took the sandwich
back to the restaurant, and horrifyingly discovered the manager nursing a cut finger. Turns out
he had cut his finger while slicing lettuce and had just continued serving it anyway.
A Scorpion in Bananas
Bananas are one of the most popular fruits in the world. It's no question why: they are
tasty, packed with nutrients, and come in their own convenient carrying case. You can
put them on cereal, make banana splits, throw them in smoothies, and you can even use them
to make fancy desserts like bananas foster (which is super fun to make because you get
to set it on fire!). Why would there ever be any reason to stop eating bananas? Well,
you're about to find out why someone might be hesitant to ever buy a bunch of bananas
again. This story is luckily not about anyone eating something they shouldn't have eaten,
but rather finding something truly terrifying in their grocery purchase. In 2014, a British
woman had just picked up a nice bunch of bananas at the grocery store. These were the kind
of bananas that come in plastic packaging, likely to ensure freshness for the long voyage
from Costa Rica, where the bananas originated. While the woman was putting away her groceries
she saw one of the most terrifying things imaginable in her bag of bananas: a three-inch
long scorpion! What was even worse was that the venomous was still alive! Somehow it had
made its way to the UK all the way from its native country and hadn't died along the way.
The woman who discovered the scorpion proved she was braver and more charitable than anyone
in the same situation when instead of killing the incredibly horrifying scorpion, she took
it to a zoo so they could keep it alive.
A Tooth in a Block of cheese
Cheese is wonderful. We all know it. You can make almost any dish better with the addition
of some melted cheese. Pizza, burritos, pasta... All of the best foods have cheese in them.
Even cheesecake is a delicious dessert! Somehow, cheese transcends all other foods to become
something wonderful: something that can be great on its own but can also elevate the
flavor profile of any dish that includes it. So it is really sad to hear that even cheese,
the most glorious of foods, can be tainted with something disgusting. Here's how it went
down: a Uk woman had purchased a block of cheese from a major supermarket chain. She
had then taken it home, obviously to enjoy the cheesy goodness of it. However, those
plans were sent flying out the window when the woman discovered something truly horrifying
in her cheese: a tooth. And not just any kind of tooth: a human tooth! That's pretty terrifying,
to say the least, but the story takes on an even more ironic and crazy wrinkle. As it
turned out, the woman had just been at the dentist before buying the cheese. It sounds
to us like maybe the Tooth-Fairy put some kind of curse on this woman.
Maggots in Packaged Noodles
When it comes to convenience, there's no food more revered than instant noodles. These things
are supremely easy to make, and they come in hundreds of different flavors. They can
even be eaten raw as a snack. You bust up the noodle block, open the bag, pour the flavor
packet in, and shake. Boom! Instant snack. Instant noodles are yet another food that
is considered a safe option. After all, what kind of surprises could there really be in
a pack of noodles, right? Well, as it turns out, some instant noodles can really be hiding
some terrible and disgusting surprises. That's what happened to one unlucky young girl and
her mother when they tried to make a quick package of instant noodles. Now, this particular
brand was not the dry kind, so they were just supposed to be microwaved in the package.
However, once the young girl emptied the package into a bowl, she noticed that her noodles
had an extra ingredient: a whole bunch of maggots. Naturally, the girl and her mother
were horrified and disgusted. They took the package back to the store and were refunded
for the package. However, as compensation, the store also offered an extra quarter. That
was it. Call us crazy, but we think finding out your noodles are full of maggots is worth
a lot more than 25 cents.
A Mouse in a Box of Fried Chicken
There may be nothing so great in this world as a good box of fried chicken. These delicious,
fried, pieces are perfect on their own or paired with your favorite hot sauce. The reason
fried chicken may be so beloved is that it is predictable. That's not an insult. Sometimes
the best food is so good because you know exactly what you're getting. With fried chicken,
there are rarely any surprises. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. On rare occasions,
a box of fried chicken can end up being supremely terrible, as it did for one gentleman back
in 2003. As this man was enjoying his meal from Popeye's, he noticed that one of the
chicken pieces he had bitten into had a weird taste. On closer examination, he noticed that
this piece of chicken didn't resemble chicken at all. In fact, it looked more like a mouse.
Spoiler alert: it was a mouse! This story might have turned you off from fried chicken
altogether, but rest assured that this was an isolated incident. The man who had taken
a bite of deep-fried rodent was informed that this particular Popeye's location had been
shut down several times before for serious health code violations and rodent infestations.
Insect Eggs in a Mandarin Orange
There's nothing quite as sweet and satisfying as a mandarin orange. These cute little citrus
fruits are the perfect snack for a cold winter day when they are typically in season. They
are sweet, juicy, easy to eat, and perfect for almost any occasion. There's almost nothing
that could get people to stop eating mandarin oranges. The key word here is "almost," because
the truth is that there are sometimes unpleasant surprises waiting in your fruit. We're not
just talking about seeds or those orange segments that are really dry and have almost no flavor.
those are bad enough, but let's be honest: things can get a lot worse than that. For
example, this story of a truly terrible discovery inside of a mandarin orange. This occurred
in 2014 when a UK man was helping himself to a sweet and tasty mandarin orange. At least,
he thought it was going to be sweet and tasty. As it turns out, however, this was not the
case. In fact, this mandarin orange was the furthest possible thing from sweet and tasty.
The man peeled his orange and immediately noticed a bad smell coming from it. That right
there is already a red flag in terms of fruit. However, he pressed on, opening the orange
up to see what was going on inside. What he discovered might turn your stomach. Inside
of the mandarin orange was a black larva surrounded by hundreds of white, slimy insect eggs.
A mystery Growth in Vinegar
Vinegar is one of those weird food items that seems like it's terrible at the onset but
has a lot more going on if you really think about it. After all, there are many different
types of vinegar, and they can all be used in different ways to make food taste better.
The acidity of vinegar is a great way to balance out rich or overly sweet flavors, which means
that it's a great staple to have in anyone's kitchen (not to mention that white vinegar
can be a powerful cleaning tool). Because vinegar is so acidic, it's safe to assume
that it can never really go bad. Not only that, but it can actually act as a preservative,
which is what is going to make this next part so shocking. Back in 2014, a UK woman had
purchased a bottle of malt vinegar at Tesco. She had just sat down to enjoy some fish and
chips with her kids, and they were happily applying the malt vinegar to their meals.
That was when she made a terrible discovery: there was something inside the bottle of malt
vinegar. The woman said that it almost looked like an alien, complete with a growing head.
Naturally, the disgusted woman took the vinegar back to the store, where employees reportedly
gagged over the sight of the mystery lump in the vinegar bottle. What was worse was
that no one seemed to be able to identify the mystery growth in the bottle.
