I'm not completely grossed out, but I kinda don't wanna finish it. >_< I considered finishing it, but there are too many dark bits floating around and I can't help but wonder whether or not any more are in there. Plus, after looking at the pics, I realized that I accidentally bought a can of "Healthy Request" soup. No wonder it tasted funny =p

I've never found any bugs in canned soup before, so this is definitely a first.

And on the subject of disgusting things found in food, what's the worse that you've found? This is the first time that I've ever found anything ALIVE before. I'm always finding myself biting into bits of plastic that have been cooked into the food >_<

That ant probably has the least amount of sodium and most amount of protein in that thing.

 

[iMax]

Don't shout about it or everyone will want one.

 

[Forerunner]

More protein.

 

[Pillville]

Don't shout about it or everyone will want one.

Damn it. I wanted to post that.

 

[commedieu]

Nice napkins.

 

[rtcn63]

Wouldn't know that particular ant from Adam

 

[Anon67]

What's the problem? I think it's pretty much confirmed that we'll be eating bug protein bars in the future.

....damn dude you need to rethink what you're eating or something. Stay safe out there.

 

[Shmeagatory94]

Eww.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

I've been struggling to find protein too. It's always so low at the end of the day!

 

[Dennis]

Time to sue.

 

[8BitsAtATime]

Eat it

Sometimes broccolini/broccoli/etc has tiny bugs on the stalk, frozen during transport. They're pretty hard to see, as they hide up near where the leaves are, greatly obscuring their numbers. After several instances of not noticing until I've already eaten some, I have begun religiously scanning green vegetables before consuming them. It takes a lot of joy out of eating such things.

That said, eating bugs is almost as bad as eating canned soup. Only one can be described as a mushy, disgusting mess.

 

[xxracerxx]

Are all your bowls Tupperware?

 

[Ray Wonder]

It's canned man, It's safe. Eat that little prick.

 

[Fuzzery]

At least it wasn't $30

 

[AetherZX]

Eat it

.

 

[Zombine]

It's just an ant. What's the worse that can happen? You swallow it and don't crush the head and it revives itself and eats through your body?

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Great there goes the sequel to Ant Man. If we had any chance it's gone now.

 

[Goro Majima]

Zero chance that ant was alive at any point if it originated from the can. The canning processes cooks the holy bejeezus out of everything in it.

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

Nice and authentic.

 

[nrvalleytime]

Could be worse, man. Could be worse.

Did the ant die before or after he went in the soup?

One time i was eating lunch in cambodia and only realized when i was done with the meal that all the spices i thought was pepper was actually ants.

You'll live OP. That is a big ant though.

it's the healthiest thing in that can TBH

 

[shem935]

There are federally maintained regulations that limit the number of bug parts allowed in peanut butter. It's okay. Stomach acid doesn't discriminate.

Could be worse, man. Could be worse.

I just had the craziest idea...

Why are ants so amazing? My goodness.

 

[cameron]

What's the acceptable food defect level by the FDA for canned soup? A whole ant may be under the limit.

Could be worse, man. Could be worse.

I'm too scared to click.

I hear the Pikmin 'carrying' sound effect in my head

 

[B33]

This is common.

The FDA has a threshold that it permits for insect contaminants in food. It can't be avoided in small fragments and isn't unhealthy for you.

Even if you don't see them, they're still present in your food.

 

[dekline]

I'm too scared to click.

It isn't bad unless you hate ants.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Its not like it ate much man, chill out. You still got the whole rest of the bowl.

 

[LQX]

Found a few in some frozen tamales I was eating awhile back. tamales are hand made so the fuckers either did not wash the corn husks are just did not give a shit ants were all over the thing.

 

[>:)]

I swear, Italian food has the worst luck around here

 

[LeadenStride]

The soup may be poisoned. You said it tastes funny and the ant couldn't stomach it either. Better stop now before it's too late.

 

[Junior Asparagus]

You could probably call their customer service and get a free can of soup or something.

 

[Goldenroad]

It's just sleeping.

 

[Ivan Amiibo]

did it taste like a real italian style wedding?

in b4 $30 italian meal

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Just eat it princess.


On the real though, I'm not as squeamish as most people. I've helped out in gutting animals in the past, Mexican style out in the dirt and whatnot so I'm probably less likely to be grossed by stuff like that.

Should be banned for this...

Don't shout about it or everyone will want one.

And there we go.

[redmetal86]

Aww, it was just doing the backstroke.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

These kinda threads are interesting to me because I feel like I have a higher threshold for what I would eat. Craziest thing would be a Viet dish named "duck's blood" and other stuff like Tripas that would gross people out.

That ant would not really bother me tbh.

 

[entremet]

I would've kept eating.

Ants don't really gross me out like roaches.

But I've eaten insects before in culinary preparations--crickets and ants.

Ants really have no taste.

 

[JordanN]

Call the Pink Panther.

"Deadant deadant..."

AVGN!

(glad I wasn't the only one thinking of it)

 

[Goro Majima]

I would much rather accidentally eat a tiny ant than eat organ meat for instance.

 

[odiin]

Eat the ant with the soup cause it's full protein.

For your health!
