This is gross. You have been warned.
Living, wriggling things. I just opened a new box of garbage bags and there are webby, writhing, wriggling worms covering the inside of the box and the bags therein.
I may not be able to go back in the kitchen for a week. The neighbor dogs are still barking in response to my shrieks.
Ack. ACK.
Garbage bags are for containing icky things, not introducing them!
And I got so squicked out I screwed up my coding! sob
Better than having greasy, grimy gopher guts!
Any pics so we junior entomologists out here can do an ID?
Photograph the things? I’m one of those people who can’t look at pictures of squicky things, let alone take pictures! I’d have to pose them! Set up a tableau!
Besides, the camera isn’t here.
In a vaguely similar incident a month or two ago, I was most of the way through with the prep work for dinner when I opened the Bisquick box to discover lots of little black bugs. Dumped bugs down sink. then I had to decide what plan B was. Plan B ended up being making biscuit dough from scratch.
Meanwhile my mother investigated her cupboard and decided that the cake flour also needed disposing of. (more little black bugs).
You know, I was thinking your ‘hefties’ were something else entirely, but I wasn’t sure what, and . . . yeah.
AirblairXXX-- I was thinking the exact same thing (grew up with a big, poor family in the country).
Do I even want to know what you thought I meant?
Eureka, bugs in the Bisquick? I’ve had that happen and it sucks. And there was the incident with the chocolate sprinkles when I was a kid. Yet, right now, the wormy trashbags are the worst.
