Easy to puke: Ice cream Jello Soup Mashed potatoes and gravy Bananas Nasty to puke: ## Spaghetti Hot dogs Hamburgers Milk Peanut butter sandwich You turn me on. But maybe it’s because I just spent 20 years in the jungle, getting it on with anything I could attract with a piece of fruit. ---

If you’ve had to much too drink and you know the barf is coming drink some Bromo. Neutralizes the acid for a less nasty chuck. From one who has had 1 too many 1 too many times * * * Teacher, my red crayon tastes funny – Ralph Wiggum ---

What about really hot food? I know I’ve had green chili that stung going in, and stung coming out the other end. I’m guessing that puking it up would also sting. ---

I, shamed to admit it, have drank way too much while eating one of my favorites… HOT… and I’m not talking sissy-hot… I mean better have stainless steel intestines HOT buffalo wings then well… barfed. That my friends is as painful as it sounds… * * * The Sleeper has AWAKEN! ---

Thanks UncleBeer. I _am_ feeling particular lovely today. 🙂 How could I have fogotten pizza, lasagna, steak, and extra hot salsa for my bad list. I once barfed rice and it got all stuck in my nose. Not good. I think sardines may come up easy enough, but look really disgusting. Vanilla pudding, popcicles, and whipping cream might not be too bad and I think oysters would slide right up too, kind of like a big loogy. ## Speaking of puking, I think I am starting to make myself sick. You turn me on. But maybe it’s because I just spent 20 years in the jungle, getting it on with anything I could attract with a piece of fruit. ---

Don’t you hate it when you’ve been puking all night long, and then you start to get the dry heaves? Then you drink a bunch of water, and then you throw that up, and it actually seems sort of like a relief to have that water come back up compared to sitting there on the cold tile floor just retching and retching… The last time I was in this very sorry state, I would drink some water, and then throw it back up, and it was still cold when it came back out!! That was the highlight of the early morning hours. ---

**RD,** sounds like YOU got yourself a nasty case of the flu. I think the OP is concerned only with drunken barfs. I can’t give an opinion; I haven’t been schnockered enough to upchuck in ages. I should get out more. * * * Uke ---

Corn has got to be the worst for me…I’m not a big corn eater anyway, but the look of hardly digested corn in a toilet makes me swear off corn for a loooooong time. Depending on what else you ate that night it usually ends up looking like chili with corn…eeeeewwwww I never see puking as an easy or not as easy task, it’s all a drag! ---

I was pregnant 6 times…I’ve spent a _lot_ of time puking. Worst was meat of any kind, not that I could get much of it down to start with. I actually found seltzer water to come back up easier than the plain kind. I’m not sure why. ---
