When I was younger I was at a Burger King shortly before they closed for the night. They had a self-help soda fountain machine and I used it to fill up a sprite. Shortly after I took a fairly good sip of it and half-swallowed I realized that it tasted awful.

It turns out that the retarded teenagers that work there had filled up the soda machine with a Bleach-based cleaning solution as part of their closing process while they were still open and selling food and drink. Luckily I didn't drink enough to make me sick or worse, but I still can't be around the smell of bleach.

>> No.5134885

Actually, 2 more come to mind:

Back when I was maybe 7 or 8 I poured myself a bowl of Rice Krispies with milk. Only after popping the first spoonful in my mouth did I notice anything wrong. The cereal and my mouth of was full of tiny hair. I checked the entire box after dry heaving for 5 minutes straight and the entire thing was full of hair. Long hairs are bad enough, but these were the sharp little tiny hair you get all over yourself after very short hair cuts. Can't eat Rice Krispies without getting sick to my stomach to this day.

The second was not too long after this. We had bought one of those large family size half-gallon cans of V8 (before they started using plastic bottles) to keep in the fridge. Nobody in my family was really into V8 so I think we just had a few glasses over the next month or so. When it came time to throw it out I had to pour half it down the drain. Now we're not entirely sure because of the tomato juice and decomposition but we're pretty confident there was a freaking rotten fish head sitting at the bottom of the can. It's possible it was a bloated dead rodent (guess it would make more sense) but either way it was something dead and rotting.

This was before people sued for every god damn thing, and we weren't the type of people to do that anyway, so we just threw it away figuring we'd already be sick if it was dangerous.

Funny enough this didn't turn me off V8, which I guess is because there was so much time between when I drank it and discovered the fish head, but of course the stuff is still pretty hard to get down anyway.

OP, if your story is true, it's not atypical. Sadly, chinese people are some of the cheapest corner-cutting restaurant types, almost not to be trusted. They're the least likely to throw out food that is expired, contaminated, or otherwise sat too long on a buffet, for instance. They'll take that tea from your table and pour it right back into the pot. This is how one behaves when you come from that level of poverty in the third world.

If you want to get the chinese food you'd like, roast pork, not roast cartilege, you go up a level into americanized, where all chicken is white meat, and there would be a loss of business if they skimped in any way noticeable. Think PF Changs style. If you want a good takeout pork bun, of course, you can make it yourself quite easily with pork shoulder, BBQ sauce, and flour...but anyway, try a frozen brand like Trader Joe's.

We had a really great one in Hawaii, and then we moved to Virginia and got a really shitty one. I was seven or eight at the time and I hated going to the commissary in Virginia. The ceiling was low--like maybe seven feet-- and it had that distinctive commissary smell amplified x100, and the lights were dim, it was always hella crowded, and they only had six or seven aisles with the rest of their products being in these little rooms/alcoves. Imagine if you went to the grocery store and their produce was literally all pushed into a room about the size of your bedroom with ten giant black women trying to get in and out. It was horrible. I hated going.

The one in Hawaii was great. The one I go to in Colorado here is fine too.

Eating cherry ice cream from door to door truck vendor...feel something long and rough in mouth, thinking its stem, pull it out with fingers as I suck the ice cream off of it. Look down to see its a very dirty piece of bitten off fingernail. Never fruity ice cream again.
