Please, say it ain't so. This viral video from TikToker @mikky.d0 shows what apparently is a McDonald's employee serving up a half-eaten burger to a customer. People were obviously outraged in the comments, but eventually the TikToker who posted the video surfaced to claim that it was a joke. We'll just sorely hope that's the case.
Too many of us have fallen victim to moments where we realize we were eating something completely different, if not more disgusting than we ever anticipated. In this case, we have an ex-bartender/TikToker @pbnjonny divulging a tale of his own food-inspired fail confusion to the rest of the online world with nothing short of admirable humility.
In most cases, someone offering to tell you about a dream they had is the most boring and stupid waste of 5 minutes you can engage in. But when it's from the twisted mind of a tumblr user, and it's about operating an all-clown meat deli, it's really hard not to pay attention. It's got action, crime, drama, science and most importantly a whole lotta clown meat. Here are some more funny, random and shiny tumblr gems.
So long as you have a decent enough grasp on your moral compass you probably walk through life doing what you can to not upset the people you cross paths with. Sometimes, that can manifest in rather harrowing acts of eating just the kinds of food that make you genuinely sick to your stomach. Maybe these people's accounts of their own experiences eating various foods they found to be utterly terrible, will strike a chord with you.
We've all heard stories about stuff like poisonous blowfish, but when you really think about it, there's a surprising number of foods that can kill you. It's not just poisonous foods, but also strange and specific allergies, extremely dodgy and less than hygienically stuff, or just something you might just choke on. There's a wide world of dangerous food out there, and many of us have found ourselves on the wrong end of the spoon. People will also eat the worst things, simply out of politeness.
Something being too cursed very well might be a thing. Yet, at the same time, it's the funniest thing. It's like part of our brains are hardwired to be helplessly captivated by uncomfortable images. Like, you want to look away but it's also very difficult to do that. Quite the situation.
As generally decent people, we pride ourselves on displaying a dizzying amount of decorum as houseguests. We will gladly sit at a great aunt's table and swill cloyingly sweet tea just to smile and glowingly lie through our rapidly decaying teeth over how grateful we are for the privilege. We will laboriously swallow dry biscuits and tamp them down with stalks of celery like we're muskets loading themselves. Sure, we'd rather not, but that social contract is nigh unbreakable. We'd much rather spend an entire night uncomfortable than say an unkind word about a mother-in-law's dismally soggy quiche. Go us and our willingness to tolerate these cursed food abominations. The things people eat to be polite are some of the worst foods people have eaten. Pour one out for those of us who wish we could pour this lukewarm soup into the waste basket.
We knew kids were weird and stupid already, but for a decent amount of time they're also ugly too. It's true that none of us would look too great if we had soft heads that just got pushed through a human being like a play-dough fun factory, but it's kind of a toss-up how different people take it. They're not supposed to look great when they're fresh anyway. Life is weird like that. You're born into this world and it's just a matter of time before you start realizing all the illogical things your parents do.
Welcome to The Jungle (by Upton Sinclair), baby. Jensen Karp found some extra crunch in his cinnamon toast crunch when he pulled out what looked like shrimp tails from a box of cereal and posting it to Twitter, instantly going viral (of course.) The dude also found what looks like some string and weird black bits baked in there. It's almost as if someone just had lunch and threw it into the product line instead of the garbage. It appears that the company's stance is that those are just bits of sugar, but boy oh boy do those look like shrimp tails. The world is full of merciless misfortune, so just throw this one on the pile.
It's not like we should be constantly disgusted just walking around the world we live in, but there are definitely some parts of it that are hard to process. They say that ignorance is bliss, and that certainly feels more true when learning about all the strange and gross weirdness of everyday life. Knowing this kind of junk doesn't even make someone more likeable. Anyway, here's more un-fun facts to quote around respected colleagues.
People need to get rid of things, but they also don't like just giving stuff away. That's why we end up with the ridiculous junk people try to sell online. There's hot-dog stuffed cucumbers, creepy werewolf dolls and all sorts of other wonderful things out there. There's no limit to the dumb and weird stuff someone might try to sell online.
Twitter user @DinosaurDracula left people with their jaws on the floor after opening a wildly corroded can of Chef Boyardee from 1995. The monstrous contents that resulted from the grand reveal did not disappoint. Well, didn't disappoint in that they're just about as cursed as cursed food comes.
Pizza is a sacred dish. It should be treated as such. We're not sure what was running through the hazy minds of these folks when they went to craft their cursed food abominations. With that being said, everyone's got their thing when it comes to food, and sometimes that thing just escapes the rest of the world's understanding. Like, I don't know if I'll ever be able to fully digest the implications of putting Fruit Loops on pizza. Oh well, time heals all wounds.
Cursed Images are a good reminder of how lost and repulsed we can be by random images with zero context. You could call it something like a sensory response to cognitive estrangement. You could also call it "being disgusted by seeing a bowl of pennies filled with milk." Little of column A, a lot of column B.
If you found yourself waiting in line behind a customer who ordered up one of these devilish concoctions, it's fair to say that you might find yourself with a momentary pain in your gut. Seriously, it's just wild what some people decide to drink. The baristas on the receiving ends of these orders must've been put at a loss for words. For some more wacky business from the food world, check out these guilty pizzas that committed inexcusable crimes.
