...How long have I been drinking that?

[Firoth]

So, I have this cup. (NO, it does not involve 2 girls.) Not just any cup, it is a special cup. A cup I got at Disney World like 14 years ago. It's the kind of cup that has liquid in the sides and when you put it in the freezer, it freezes and keeps your drink cold forever (and after 5 minutes it condenses a huge puddle on your desk).

Anywho, I had been drinking out of it today, and the liquid had long melted back when I thought to myself..."is there less liquid in there?" Upon further inspection I also noticed..."is that a crack on the inside of the cup?!"

Much to my horror, it would seem that my cup has been leaking trace amounts of...something into my drinks for who knows how many months or years (hopefully years, then it would mean less at a time). Now, it's not a very large amount, a few centiliters at best, but, still! How long has this been happening? Could this explain a lot of things?

What the hell is inside these cups?!

For true discussion, has something similar to this ever happened to you? Ever thought you were eating/drinking something that you weren't? Or found out that what you were eating/drinking had a little something...extra? Pure accident or prank, it doesn't matter. Tell us your gastrointestinal horror stories!

I thought it was only water inside those cups, still have mine, is yours clear and blue :3

I once thought I had a Diet Pepsi and it turned out to be Dr. Pepper. I very, very much dislike Dr. Pepper, and that experience only solidified my hate for it.

Also, I think the stuff in those cups is very similar to what is inside ice packs. I'm sure it's not TERRIBLY toxic in small amounts, otherwise they might think twice about shooting it up into an apparatus designed for drinking.

Nothing like biting into cheese and realising its mouldy...

I once had a packet of caburys chocolate cake rolls.
I opened them after they had sat on my shelf a good while, wondering if there had been icing sugar on it before.
I bit deep into the chocolate cake...
and it was FURRY.

I turned it over, and there were long blue strands of fungus all over it >_<

The stuff in those cups is generally nontoxic, though I would totally never recommend drinking it intentionally. However, if we're talking a little bit, possibly over a long time, it shouldn't be a problem. I still wouldn't want even a little in me, but I'm not very fond of strange goo in my diet.

When I was staying with a French family, at my very first dinner with them, the mother offered me desert. She took something out from the fridge that looked like a small meringue or something. I didn't want to be rude, so I took it and tried it. Turns out it was really, really, really strong cheese, it tasted like, well, um, merde, and this was her way of making a joke at the foreigner's expense.

I don't even like cheese anyway.

Well, let's hope you've built up a resistance to the mysterious blue liquid.

An interesting tale:
My family has a blind jack russel terrier. She likes to go digging through bags that smell like food. One day, she found her way into one of those freezer bags you carry cold groceries in, and dug out an ice pack. She ripped it to shreds on the floor beside me (I was wearing headphones). This story isn't going anywhere, but I thought it related to the subject matter fairly well.

One time I was eating knock off goldfish and it turned out there was a centipede in the box. Ughhhhhhh.... I made myself throw up

 

[TheColdHeart]

I woke up on my friends sofa after a house party, I had a hangover and serious dry mouth going on so grabbed the glass of water that was (conveniently) on the side...chugged it and then realised it was vodka. That wasn't the happiest moment ever.

is yours clear and blue :3

Unfortunately, it is neither blue or gooey. I might have been able to notice something like that in my drinks sooner and possibly not have this problem. It's just a clear colorless liquid, like water. But, I'd rather not bet on it being water because 1: with my luck it isn't and 2: it's not as funny/horrible that way.

I meant the cup. The liquid is just water from what I know so no worries.

I made a gigantic sandwich, not noticing that everything was well past the expiration date. Seriously, there's no way you could've recognized it as old food unless you bit into it.

Long story short, ham and pastrami sandwiches are forever off my menu now.

Once I picked up something I thought was a chocolate chip and almost ate it. It wasn't feces, but it certainly wasn't a chocolate chip...

I once took a giant gulp from a cup my dumb ass sister had drenched in roach spray. The whole kitchen smelled of it and it wasn't more noticeable from the cup.

Oooooh. Nope, it's red.

Who the Hell uses centiliters as a unit of measurement? No one, that's who.

One time I ate into a Reese's and there was a wrapper still on it. Through some fluke it got two wrappers on it, so I removed the one and ate the other. Sometimes I forget what drink I got, or which is mine and will take a gulp and think "Man this Coke tastes naaaasty" when it's Dr. Pepper or birch beer, etc.
