A man in the UK recently ate half a cup of what he thought was yogurt – it turned out to be green paint. Classic mix up here. Paint. Yogurt. Same difference…right?

This reminds me of the time I saw my dad eat beef jerky.  I watched him tear open the little “do not eat” packet – and sprinkle it over the jerky!  He thought it was a seasoning packet.  He says he never noticed “DO NOT EAT” in bold letters on the sachet.  After that, we did two things:

1. We made him promise to stop eating silica gel.
2. We told him he needs to read all packaging a little closer in the future.

Have you (or someone you know) ever ever “accidentally” eaten something – thinking it was something else?  What was it?  How much did you choke down before you figured it out.

Please share…
