Okay, that’s just nasty.
But ...
When I was putting myself through school, I was down to a grocery stock of peanut butter, honey and bread.
Yep.
Lived on it. Toasted.
One day, I lifted the lid off of the honey and all of these dried up black thingies came flying out onto my counter. My first thought was ‘pepper’ because that’s what it looked like.
It was ants. Dried up little ants that somehow got in there but couldn’t get back out.
So I sat there and thought about that for a minute or two.
And then I took a knife, scraped off about half an inch of honey, and that was that.
Heheheheheee ...
When times are tough, you can’t be picky about the quality of your food I guess.
Av, wow that is quite a departure from cereal! I tried a piece of kibble once, out of curiosity. It was rather tasteless.
J, I would’ve done the same thing, even today. Why be wasteful?
I think these were the fish ones. /shudder
It’s like the time I dumped half a snack size box of raisins in my mouth, chewed them up and was about ready to swallow when I looked in the box and saw that it was crawling with maggots.
Yeah, I totally feel your pain on this one.
Warg maggots gaahhh my skin is crawling already! Those things really creep me out. My sister almost ate some “rice” once… until she noticed they were wiggling. *shudder*
Av, <i>fish</i> flavored? Now that is something to gag over.
I’m glad I didn’t write this before everyone had lunch. 
I would imagine that the ants would have improved on the Grape Nuts Flakes. I can’t stand Grape Nuts anything. It’s like cement lying in your stomach. Yuck.
Fish flavored in milk! It was years ago and still makes me nauseated.
nasty! 
I remember opening flour or something and seeing bugs inside and not being able to finish my baking. I never accidentally ate anything that had bugs in it though.
Divalicious, it’s a rite of passage. One day, you too shall become one of the chosen bug eaters.
Av, yeah fish and milk aren’t two things I would ever put together.
Watchdog, the flakes version of Grape Nuts is fairly thin and crisp. Nothing like the cement nuggets of the original.
I’m with Watchdog on this one. In fact, considering that Grape Nuts tastes like crunchy dirt to me, it doesn’t seem so weird that there were ants living in it.
Another reason to bring on the cocoa puffs!
OMFG YAK! Blalalalalallalala! I.cannot.imagine.eating.bugs. Even accidentally. I’d have to kill myself. I did once suck a gnat into my sinuses and puked for an hour. I could feel the little jackass crawling around INSIDE MY FACE. OMFG. Horrid.
I tried cat food once to see what it tasted like. It was kinda of corn tasting. Not what I imagined it to taste like. lol
Ok… i always hated that cereal, but now I will never eat it! Thanks. You’ve done your civic dute for us all!
Catienova, true Grape Nuts is a bit like crunchy dirt, good description. But these were the <i>flakes</i> version, which was much better. Apparently the ants thought so too.
KG, yewwww! I can’t imagine a little bug crawling around inside, eek! I’d much rather eat the thing by accident.
Val, maybe they should just rename it to Crunchy Ant Goodness.
I’m officially traumatized and will forever be as nervous about cereal as I am about syrup (after eating some pancakes I found that the syrup bottle was full of ants)!!!
Eww! I guess that will stop me from ever eating grape nuts! blah!
Might I state the obvious in saying that the box of cereal didn’t come from the store prepackaged with ants? I’m convinced my mom’s house sits on a giant antill.
My mom would have a shit fit! she is afraid of ants! 
She must’ve watched too many of those old horror mutant-swarm-of-killer-ants movies. How does she feel about <i>A Bug’s Life</i>?
KEVIN SPACEY!
I saw the movie Them when I was really young and had a nightmare that giant spiders captured me in the sewer and Mickey Mouse saved me :D
Mickey Mouse saved you, heheee! I think my hero would’ve been Goofy. He would’ve tripped and squashed all the ants.
Apparently at 6 I had a thing for Mickey...good thing I don’t have one still. After that my next crush was Mikey though...from Goonies.
This is exactly the reason I needed to continue on with my usual breakfast of cigarettes and Pepsi.
I think I’d go back to eating ants instead.
GDG - My mom says that she had a bad dream when she was a kid about standing out side and stepping into an ant hill and having them crawl up one side of her all the way down the other side…
With my Aunt standing there the hole time laughing at her…
traumatic I know… 
Oh heck yeah that’s traumatic. I wouldn’t want a hillful of ants anywhere near my hoo-ha!
Ant are very high in protein, but they taste awful.
I had that happen one time with a semi open bottle of pancake syrup. Ruined my gd waffles.
I’ll stick with my breakfast of Pepsi. The breakfast of champions no doubt.
lol I don’t think that she was thinking about them going near her hoo-ha lol
But I am totally with you on the Hoo-ha thing!
BLARGH!! ew ew ew.
I have yet to accidentally eat insects that were mixed in with my food. I’ve had a couple of gnats down the windpipe while riding my bike, but that’s about it.
My mom though.. There was a time when Little Caesar’s was giving away bags of Caesar salad with their pizzas, and we got one. She poured some out onto her plate and started eating it. She noticed something oddly-shaped and pulled it out.. it was a MOTH. It was years before I was able to look at salad in a bag again, much less eat it. ew.
Wow, that’s horrible! I was too bleary eyed and tired to pay attention one morning and I grabbed Kibbles-n-Bits that was in the same cabinet as the cereal and poured that in my bowl. The first bite almost made me projectile vomit.
