You better hope that Ex-Lax kills insects pio!pio! 🙂
 
I asked my mom "what the heck! there are live bugs in it!!"
her response "oh that's how you know you got the sweet ones, cuz the bugs want them"

:cries:
 
bugs love pomegranates.

I usually just pull the seeds off the fruit and eat them straight like that...no bowls, and lots of good memories with girls like that.
 
they looked like little beetles...6 legs..shell on the back (ie, not like ants where you can clearly see the segmentations)
but they were about the size of a typical small black ant or two black ants put together (I'm talking socal black ants not fricken huge arizone/new mexico black ants!!)

That was you Ranger X?

You owe me a windshield! 😛
 
Yes, poms are favorites of insects. On a Survivor show, someone opened a similar fruit up with hundreds of them inside.

Think of the insects you ate as protein. Even the eggs they'll lay in your stomach. 😉
 
Those are love insects dude, thats how they show their appreciation.

They are so friendly, they even clean out your intestines and anus for you.
 
reminds me of once when I was eating some cereal and reading the morningpaper..... was on my third bowl of cereal when I noticed that there were many black ants swimming in the milk. ants were all over and in the box.

that was many years ago and I still can almost make myself vomit just thinking about it
 
yes, you will be poopin out larva in no time.

lol, seriously no, the eggs can't survive stomach acid. The acid inside your stomach is pretty strong, well, strong enough to make sure no bugs can survive.

Then how do you explain parasites in the digestive track, aka, worms? They don't tunnel north into your ass with mining gear you know. While the pH of the stomach is generally good enough to kill most bugs, there are some hardy creepy crawlies that can wreck yo sh!t (heh, literally!) by dwelling inside the small and large intestines.

pio!pio!, if you're really worried, go get a bottle of MSM and take it for a week or two.





Mmmmmmmmmmm, I could eat a pomegranate for hours...
 
Some cultures think insects are a delicacy so to them that would be no big deal. True, I wouldn't want to have eaten them either but it's mostly our Western thinking making this such a bad thing. I think it was Maximum Exposure that showed people eating beetles, grubs, scorpions and some other distasteful things last Saturday night.

My roommate's girlfriend made us some muffins one day. I woke up the next day and thought a muffin would be good. I ate half and noticed a few sugar ants on the rest of the muffins. I was a little grossed out, but I just threw them all away.

Later, I explained to my roommate that I chunked the muffins.

He goes: You ate those! Dude, they were all covered in ants this morning!

I asked him why the fvck didn't he throw them away?

He said he didn't know. He just knocked all the ants off and put them back on the plate.
