maggots(yes, plural) in my kitkat

my favorite snack failed me. good thing i always inspect my food before i shove it down my throat. wow. if i hadn't i would've eaten a live maggot. i immediately ran and threw it away. but then i realized i should've taken a picture. ah. regrets. so i immediately googled for similar cases.

Well, if I still ate them, I would eat them like the anonymous person who holds position #1, which is the way I USED to eat them. I do NOT eat them anymore because of the time I was eating one at work. I was busily working away and had it in its wrapper on my lap. I had eaten 3.5 of the 4 quadrants when I stopped snarfing long enough to actually look at what I was eating. Maggots were crawling out of the half piece that was left. I had eaten all the rest of them. I crumpled the tiny bit of candy and few remaining maggots up in the wrapper and threw it away while chugging a bunch of Pepsi and trying to remain calm. I told myself that people in Africa, and in a whole bunch of other places I never want to go, eat bugs all the time. It’s no big deal. It’s no big deal. It’s no big deal.

It worked. I went back to typa-typa-typing forcing myself to not think about it. But then something caught my eye. It was a lone, white maggot wiggling around on my black-skirt-clad lap wondering where all his brothers and sisters were. I stared at him flipping his maggoty tail back and forth, back and forth, trying to recite my No Big Deal mantra. But no dice. I bolted for the bathroom and barfed up the whole gang.

True story. And one that should help that South Beach diet along nicely!-----------------

here's another one, dated 1988, published in The Mirror at Londonhttp://www.thefreelibrary.com/There's+a+grub+in+my+Kit-Kat.-a060628740

TEENAGER Brett Marshall had a break with a Kit-Kat - and found a maggot in the chocolate snack. 

He had already taken a chunk out of his favourite bar when he saw the grub wriggle out. Factory worker Brett, from Newark, Notts, said yesterday: "I felt physically sick. I eat a lot of chocolate, but this has put me off for good." The grub is thought to have been the larva of a moth which got in the bar while it was in storage. Nestle Rowntree, who make Kit-Kat, said they would investigate.

*Ah, so it's 2011 already and there are still maggots. investigate some more Rowntree!

here you go: another one,

Good lord I've never seen a maggot that big. That's the giagantic breed found in the middle of the jungle! Could you imagine seeing or running into that!!! ACK!!!!


When I was little my grandma use to give me candy alllllll the time. I was eating a KitKat once and bit into it....and there was 2 maggots. I almost died. I ran to the bathroom and threw up but blamed it on a stomach ache. I didn't have the heart to tell my grandma there were maggots in the candy. Just warned my sister and we fake ate the candy for the rest of the years 

Maggots are fly larvaes, they can hatch inside, the larvae can penetrate and implant themselves into the host's organs, causing internal damage such as bacterial infections, sepsis and, if untreated, death. ---------------

see that. kitkat almost killed me.

kitkat is such a big company. you should really take this seriously, kitkat. i looked through the wrapper and there were no holes which means either the maggots have magically traversed through the wrapper or the maggots were there EVEN BEFORE it was packaged. i don't know. darnit i am now picturing in my head the production floor of kitkat, maggot-infested and millions of it to be produced around the globe. scary shit. 

commercial: here is an awesome video you that will make you gag, http://www.metacafe.com/watch/343638/worms_in_the_candy_bar/

there are some chocolates who get the maggots/insects during storage but dear chocolate companies, the distribution part, is still your freakin responsibility, assure that your products reach your customers while they are still fresh and not rotting with satisfied maggots. now excuse me, i have to barf.
