Foods that you used to like, but ...

... will probably never eat again. There’s usually a story behind it, so let’s hear it.


Mangoes. My aunt in Florida gave us a bag of ‘fresh’ mangoes to bring to my dad in Kentucky. By the time we got to Valdosta they were already getting ripe. By Chattanooga the smell was all throughout the car. At the KY rest stop they got tossed in the garbage. Probably shouldn’t have put them in the hot trunk, but the wife hates the smell of them in the first place. Now I hate it too.

2nd place, Applebee’s riblets. Let’s just say they didn’t make it home safely that night.

Aside from mashed potatoes, which I don't often eat, I hardly ever eat potatoes. I liked french fries when I was younger, especially McDonald's fries when I was a kid, but over the past decade I bet I haven't eaten fries a dozen times (and I'd bet most of those instances have been Rally's fries).

Easy answer. Baby food.

I don’t know. I seem to remember pears were pretty tasty.

Breast milk? Not sure if I still like it. Probably.

Mint chocolate chip ice cream
McDonalds Fries
Cheetos

^ because they’re gross

Apple juice - had it everyday in the hospital during a 35-day stint as a kid. Now it nauseates me.

Subway.

About 8 years ago wife brings home Subway for dinner, meatball sub for me. Never had food poisoning before or since, but I understand now how people can die from it. At one point had it coming out both ends at the same time.

I will never eat anything from a Subway store ever again.

I overdosed on pork chops & fried chicken when I was a kid. I still have the occasional hankering, but it passes....

What makes you so convinced you got sick from the Subway sandwich?

You likely caught viral gastroenteritis, which could have come from who knows where.

You likely attribute the source to the Subway because it was the last thing you ate. But with the virus having an incubation period of 12-48 hours, it's more likely you caught a virus the day before and it had nothing to do with the Sub sandwich.

Jared? Is that you?

Jared? Is that you?

I've had a lot of free time in prison, so I've been studying medicine and logic.

His fallacy is known as post hoc ergo propter hoc.

It was food poisoning Jared.

"Food poisoning" has no specifical medical definition.

What do you mean by "food poisoning?" It can be either viral or bacterial, and can come from a number of each.

So when you assert it was "food poisoning," what do you mean?

(For what it's worth, there's also no such thing as 'stomach flu.' It probably means viral gastroenteritis, which is neither the flu nor the stomach. And by 'food poisoning' they probably mean bacterial infection, contrasted with the first column being viral infection. So that image is just chock full of misinformation.)

Thank you Cliff Clavin.

These symptoms are listed as the "possible side effects" of most medicine you see advertised.

Pancakes.

Made and ate them all the time as a kid / teenager as it was something easy and quick.

Now cant stand the sight or smell of them.

Yet Iam an absolute waffle junkie, which is basically the same thing.

Go figger?
