About a year ago i went to target and bought some Lil Debbies seasonal cakes. I opened one in the car and saw what i thought was icing from the cake in my hand. I went off to lick it. and YUCK! it was Johnson & Johnson baby lotion i had put on before i went to the store. It was the worst taste ever, it just wouldn't go away.
You'd think i'd learned from my mistake right?! well not so much.
Just 2 wks ago i was making a cake and chocolates. I had a spoon w/a little bit of white, i was about to lick it til i noticed it was crisco! YUCK. thankfully i didn't.

Yuck! That wouldn't have tasted very good! I try and avoid little bites here and there. Once I start, I can't stop!!

I was at a business dinner and noticed the dish of ice cream in front of me wasn't melting. I finally commented to the lady next to me how well the ice cream was holding up. She smiled and told me, "I think that's the butter!"

My husband accidently did the crisco thing....He always asks now before he licks

haha! This is funny!
My 6yr old dd loves to stick her little fingers in whatever mess I make on the counter--learned very quickly not to touch what I'm working on, but for some reason, if it's fallen on the counter, it's fair game!
Well anyway, we were at a friend's house making homemade pizzas and sure enough, she comes up and gets a big finger full of flour and pops it in her mouth! The look on her face was priceless!! I just said "not everything white is sweet, honey!!"

I did the Crisco thing when I was a kid!! My mom was making frosting and I saw white on the beater and assumed it was frosting - it wasn't!! I think it was all Crisco! You would think that I would learn from it, but a few weeks ago I thought I had a dab of frosting on the back of my hand - licked it off and needless to say it was Crisco! I may be scarred for life now

Do u remember seeing your mom bring home those big bars of what you thought were candy bars home....then sneaking a bite....EWWW unsweetened bakers bars

I remember telling my younger brother that the beef boullion cube was actually a chocolate square. LOL But, he was the kind of kid that he looked at me and ate the whole thing and said that was GREAT! You have any more? sheesh.. took the fun out of it! haha

OK, while we're telling yucky stories (this is off subject a little, but I have to share), when my mom would make no bake cookies and send them in our lunches, there was this bully that would always steel my brother's cookies! Well by the 3rd time, my mom made some and put some ex-lax in them and sent more than the usual amount.......needless to say, that boy never stole food from my brother again!! I love my mom!!!

My son has done the stick-your-finger-in-the-bowl trick only to come away with a glob of crisco. Definitely stops it.

I use a Pettina chocolate paste in my mud cakes. It looks just like and smells like dark chocolate paste....... but on its own it is really, really, really bitter....I shudder thinking about it ........anyway... after I have cleaned up I always leave just the choc measuring jug with little left over paste on the bench , I then make a coffee and sit down to wait .....without fail one of my three teenagers enters the kitchen and just has to have a taste.........from three rooms away all you can hear "ARGH.... that is soooo gross!!!!" LMAO....then they came running with tongues hanging out ranting and raving, demanding to know what they just ate....and I tell them....the same thing you ate last week and the week before and the week bofore that....and .....!!

gets them every time.....they never learn!!! I love it !!! My revenge on teenagers!!!!

When I was younger I poured a nice big spoonful of vanilla extract - thinking that it would be vanilla-y and syrupy sweet -- instead I put a big spoonful of bitter in my mouth! I spit it out in the sink and had to go brush my teeth to get the taste out. When I told my mom she just laughed.

omg too funny. ya'll made me laugh. Everytime i tell my little debbie story to someone i LMAO.
thanks

When we were kids my brother was simply addicted to chewing gum... one day he was 'out' of his regular stash so he grabbed some that mom had in the medicine cupboard, chewed up the WHOLE pack. Yep, you guessed it, he didn't get off the toilet for two days. He lost 13 pounds!! Mom was very upset, as she was worried it would have long term effects, but I think she was just sad that he was that stupid. He was like 12 and should've known better!!

These are cracking me up!!! I remember tasting vanilla as a child because it smelled so good.

These are hilarious! My sister tells a story about when she was young. She saw my dad's coffee cup sitting on the stove and thought she's sneak a sip, when she did, she found out that it was a cup of grease that mom had left there after cooking! YUCK! Another along the same lines, my 3 YO neice got hold of my dad's soda can that sits next to his chair on the front porch. She had herself a good drink and went to granny saying that she didn't want to drink that again. Dad had been using the can as an ashtray and had a little liquid in it. UGH!!!!

Melvira I did the same exact thing!!!!!!!!! OMG My mom still laughs about it. I had to actually go to the doctor and they almost put me in the hospital...I chewed the whole pack!!! I was on the toilet for 3 days then couldnt go at all!! LOL I was 11.

Hahaha! My brother (yes, the same one) did the grease thing... he opened the fridge because he was super hungry and thought, "Oh! Applesauce!" and took a big old spoonful, then went running to the sink to spit out a mouthful of grease. He was so mad!! By the way, this time he was in his 30's and definitely should've known better!

Then there is the story of my Uncle who went out drinking one night and when he came home, stumbled into the bathroom to brush his teeth and didn't turn the light on. Thought the toothpaste tasted gross, turned on the light and found he was using Preparation H!! EW!!!

I love sharing these stories! They are gross, but SO funny!
