What’s the nastiest thing you’ve accidentally done?
Mine has to have been this morning… I woke up, got dressed, and wandered through the kitchen on the way to check my email. I saw a bottle of what I thought was Diet Pepsi on the counter, and thought I’d just left it out overnight. So I decided I’d take a swig, and put it back in the fridge.
I’d forgotten that I’d cleaned out the old deep-fryer oil and put it in the bottle the night before.
So I took a big gulp of old, rancid used fryer oil, complete with weird little fried up black chunks, and swallowed it before I realized it.
I didn’t barf, but I came awfully close.

I’ve done something like that… actually, as a child, I saw a lemon-lime Fresca can sitting on the countertop, and I thought “Hey, free lemon-lime Fresca”, only to find that someone had drained that morning’s bacon grease into it.
Second runner-up is something that someone else already mentioned, taking a swig of a beer with a cigarette butt in it.
Third runner-up is using smokeless tobacco. I was in the Army, a nicotine addict, and smoking was prohibited in the field but smokeless tobacco was fine. I feel all dirty when I think I used to carry around a chaw of Skoal in my lip.
It should be no surprise that after these things, I can eat natto, Marmite, all sorts of supposedly “distasteful” things with no problem at all.
