Don’t you love when things like this happen to you? I’d eaten a protein bar in the morning that was so nasty I had to put it aside. After the gym at lunch, I was hungry enough after devouring an avocado to try the bar again. I happened to bump into Vanessa online.

me: dude, I ate one of those yogurt peanut butter bars. NASTY!!! and I have a pretty high tolerance to bad tasting stuff!
Vanessa: I ate one today, too! But I liked it. We should switch some out
me: it was SALTY!
Vanessa: Another koininkadink, or however you write the darn thing
me: which one did you try? the same one?
Vanessa: The same one
me: you liked it? it wasn’t salty to you?
Vanessa: Yup. Not at all. But I have my PMS tongue in action right now and I am craving salt. So that might explain it. I’ll try it in a week and see if I still like it
me: maybe I had a bad bar that used salt for sugar.
Vanessa: But they don’t make them indv. they make batched at a time so it should be the same as mine.
Me: was it gooey to you in the center?
Vanessa: No. Was yours?
me: yeah! omg, what the hell did I eat??? it wasn’t, like, brown nougat in the center of yours?
Vanessa: No. Maybe it was a bad bar! Eewww!
me: you’re sure you had the yogurt peanut crunch?
Vanessa: Wait a minute while I dig the wrapper out of the trash
me: Jeopardy theme song playing
Vanessa: Yup, yogurt Peanut Crunch. See the things I do for you, man?
I went through trash
me: I dug mine out of the trash, too!
Vanessa: Now that is love. LOL
me: koinkidink? we’re both eating bars and digging in the trash during our work hours. nice.
Vanessa: ohh… we are like TWINS. but like the movie with arnold and the smaller guy. Except we are cute
me: danny devito
Vanessa: and not guys. and not old
me: HAHAH
Vanessa: You get my drift
me: and not twins.
Vanessa: Yeah, that’s him
me: and not the same race. and not related. and not polar opposite people
Vanessa: ok… maybe we are not like the movie
me: haha. should I blog this? that’d be funny.
Vanessa: I was thinking that. Do it!
me: OH MY GOSH! Another koinkidink! haha
Vanessa: I love Cilliness. LOL

I’m always the one who gets the gnat in the soup, fly in the salad, worm in the peach. Free restaurant meal advantage aside, it makes me wonder whether I’m just “lucky,” or whether I’m the only one who examines food as I’m eating it.

Worm in the peach? Please tell me you found the entire worm in the peach, not half.

Once when I was studying my BMR (Basic Military Req) at Denny’s my coffee had a fly in it. I was too shy to tell the waitress, so I just didn’t drink it.

I read this title… and I was thinking about something.

Then I read the first line that you ate a bad nutrition bar… and I was thinking the title meant something else.

Then I read the entire passage. And then I realized the title means something else again!!!

Yikes! And you two are hilarious! I dont think i pay enough attention to whats in my food. It’s there. I eat it. It’s gone.

Once I had a bag ot Trader Joe’s pistachios. I was shelling them and eating them without looking. Then I ate one half of a nut and thought it tasted strange.

So I looked down at the other half and there was this roasted worm with webbing on the other end.. Hahahah EEwwwwwwwww….

Vanessa – Yeah, it’s usually the whole, writhing, nestling wormette. =P

James – I think for the first time, I failed to see the sexual angle of the title. But I like my titles to imply something different from what the post is, and then it all makes sense after you read the post. I thought about the vomiting angle, but the application to the post is that “stuff going in” is food, obviously, and “stuff coming out” is the conversation.
