I think all of my personal yawning incidents involve bugs or large chunks of dust. It’s always been something flying or floating, never a creepy crawly. I’m sure there are plenty of bugs and stuff that I eat all the time without knowing it. But it’s the ones that I’m aware of that freak me out. What’s the most horrible thing you have accidentally eaten?
ewww..
Poor Biff.
Biking + Going fast + Yawning +Bug = Bad taste + almost crashing
Biking + Going fast + Talking + Bug = Bug in lungs + Coughing a lot + Almost crashing
I ate a muffin once and when I exhaled smoke started coming out of my mouth. I was sure I was finally getting super powers.
Turns out it was mold spores.
i think the worst is what happened to biff
it also happened to me :’(
Long time reader, first time poster.
Nice comic, I’ve liked it for a long time.
I’ve had a pretty bad similar experience, I woke up with my mouth open and I shut it and heard a loud crunch. I didn’t actually see what it what but it felt awful and I think it was a moth. Nasty experience.
Yeah, birds hate it when you yawn at them. They get all ornery and then, well, Biff was obviously quite shocked by the foul language they used to describe their displeasure.
As for the worst accidental thing I’ve eaten, it was… actually it was intentional, but it was an ant. Sucker was bitter like you wouldn’t believe.
Apparently the average person will swallow up to 8 spiders a year, most of them while sleeping. .. When i was little i nearly ate a garden snail… yum yum yum…. *Gags* Also one time, i thought i had nutella, (chocolate spread) on my arm, i licked it off… turned out to be dirt… wasn’t happy….
~God Bless~
~K!mbo~
this is the first one that makes me feel sick
Never had anything fly into / be dropped into my mouth while yawning…but sometimes I get the feeling my body is out to do itself in. I have this annoying tendance to choke on…well…my own saliva. >_
I don’t think so, Michael. The man has been decapitated and lost numerous appendages and phalanges.
i have actually eaten som ones sneeze while yawning, they baught me a drink
Wasabi Jello. Worst part was that it took a side trip into my lungs first… >.

Chris, you have an odd imagination.
(or do you?..)
Not directly in the mouth, but I saw the topside watch take a direct hit on his coffee as he was about to take a sip.
It’s amazing how far a coffee mug will fly, well-flung by an angry man.
I never get bugs in my mouth when I bike but they do like my left eye! and things I accidentally bit into was my own lower lip, while I was on the… scale for kids sort of thing my friend jumped of for fun but I crashed downwards and landed with my chin on the handlebars biting thru my lip and chipping of bits of my two upper teeth and destroying the roots… I will spare the surgical details
Yawning is rude. It scares birds.
Birds notice everything, including
the worm by your foot, Biff.
It’s like everything, if you smile
they won’t crap on you.
The classic “What’s worse than biting into an apple and finding a worm? Finding half a worm!”
I bet my apple bite flew almost as far as the coffee mug!
I can’t eat an apple any more without cutting it up first.
I can’t decide whether to laugh, feel sorry for Biff, or be grossed out.
All three, I guess.
I’ve never eaten anything (knowingly) that was still alive. I was once tricked by my nephew into eating a pickled grape at a russian restaurant, though. It was absolutely the worst-tasting thing I’ve ever eaten.
I got even with him by slipping a pickled cherry tomato onto his salad while he wasn’t looking. It was my turn to laugh when he got to it.
a sandal buckle when I was was 3.
God,my mom totally freaked out
i was sitting under a tree reading a book once and got bird dookie thrown at the top of my head.
recently, my BF talked me into trying Calamari. bleck…
but the worst thing happened when i was about 2. i don’t remember much of it. all i remember is watching my mom put a bowl of milky liquid down and thinking, “mmmm…. milk.” it was actually mineral spirits she’d been using to clean my white dresser. i’m told there was much vomiting and i had to have my stomach pumped.
I was about 11 the first time I cut the grass. Our back yard was huge, on a hill, and we didn’t have a self-propelled mower. So, needless to say, I was quite proud of my self for completing such a feet. As I waltzed into the kitchen and grabbed a glass to get water, I didn’t look at it. When I started drinking, I felt something between my upperlip and the glass. Turns out it was a roach.
So, I get to say I have kissed a roach before. Yippee
I think Ii have managed to avoid swallowing anything really nasty, though there have been several incidents where i almost ate one xP
Great comic ^w^
I used to eat gravel, plaster, bugs, paint and wood.
I don’t know how I survived past age eleven.
When I was younger I was running around the backyard in the evening after a barbeque. I went to turn around and say something to my mom and a lightning bug flew straight down my throat…I sat the rest of the night out.
I ate a lego when I was a kid…Scratched my throat up pretty good
For my last birthday, my mother made me an absolutely delicious chocolate cake with strawberries in it at various points. I had a slice on my birthday, it was delicious. There was no room in the fridge and because it was such good cake, no one worried about it sitting out. A week later I finally got around to eating another slice, the first bite tasted kind of funny but I kept eating, by the third bite I was chewing on a very, very rotten strawberry. In a moment of blind panic, I swallowed the strawberry… I will never forget that foul taste. >
I accidentally ate a slug pellet. It was in our shed and bright blue and I was only little so I thought it was a sweetie. It was DISGUSTING.
I’ve heard that the average person swallows 10 spiders in their lifetime. I so hate to think about things like that!
blech
There was this piece of foam (from like a couch or a chair) that was laying in my basement for no reason whatsoever. It was dusty and gross so no one wanted to touch it or move it. So me and my brothers were wrestling around the basement one day and I got thrown down so I started laughing. I got up and slipped on the foam and then everyone started laughing even harder. So I was on the floor laughing my brains out when I decided to inhale to catch my breath. The foam was closer than I thought and it just vacuumed into my mouth and I swallowed it in like… 2 seconds. Everyone saw and there was this odd silence because we weren’t sure what had just happened. I tried to puke it back up but it just wasn’t coming back.
Fantastic strip, certainly one of my favorites. I love the usual surreal humor, but strips like this crack me up.
I don’t think I’ve ever swallowed anything really odd. I’m sure I’ve swallowed bugs whilst walking in the delightful English countryside. The worst thing to go in my mouth was a piece of cow turd that flicked off a cows tail. Seriously, that was bloody awful. Didn’t swallow it though, threw up all over the place.
I’ve Inhaled a fly before. It got lodged in my sinuses and stung like hell for about 3 hours until it died. Nasty stuff.
Never swallowed much bad, although Ive eaten a vase of flowers for a bet
Well I drank from a soda can that bug died on that just HAD to die SO BLEEPING CLOSE TO THE HOLE. I’ve also eaten grass (on purpose) and perfume.
as far as worst accidental ingestion, Far gets first place.
Well, I once accidental swallowed a marble whilst chewing on it. To this day, I still think it’s somewhere in my body.
Worse thing for me was at a beach. Left a soda in the sand after I came back from a swim. I took a big swig. There was a bee in side. I was not a happy camper.
2 thing that happen to friends. First was a soda can, my friend took a chug to find out that it was full ash and cigeret butts.
Coffee cup on the kitchen counter. Someone was cooling bacon greese in it. My friend thougth it was coffee. So rember to look in the container before you drink
worst thing I ever accidentally ingested was cat litter. I had fallen down in the hallway and inhaled to catch my breath and got a mouth/lung/throatfull of the stuff.
Purposely? One of my friend’s bartending experiments called a Blitzkrieg… Jagermeister, Moxie, and NyQuil, equal parts… I remember the dancing squirrels and that Eyes Wide Shut had never been more intriguing… but that’s about it .>
One time, at work (i work in a restaurant) i had gone into the wait-station to get a Dr. Pepper. I returned, sat it on the counter, took care of a to-go order, turned around, took a swig of my soda–
And discovered something kinda squishy between my teeth. I rolled the squishy, bitter, fibrous thing around in my mouth for a bit, thinking that perhaps it was just a piece of a maraschino cherry that i had been eating earlier. I reached into my mouth to pull out the mysterious food only to find that i had been sampling the flavour of one of the local houseflies.
Needless to say, i almost IMMEDIATELY vomitted.
um long time reader first time poster as well. a bird pooped on my shoulder but when i looked up i saw him get shot by a hunter so i had my revenge(insert maniacal laughter here).
I’ve eaten perfume once. Naaaasstyyyy… Keep it up! These are hilarious!
Eating perfume isn’t nasty. IT JUST BURNS LIKE *bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*
I once caught a bee in my mouth and without knowing, closed my mouth, and it stung me right underneath my tongue. Worst. Thing. Ever.
I was at work, and I had just gotten off of lunch. As I go to the back room, I look down at my hand and see what I believe to be chocolate on it. I think “Mmmm, chocolate!” And go to lick it, only to realize not a moment too late that I had not yet had or been around chocolate that day.
It was a very close call.
The worst thing that I’ve ever swallowed was probably because it was such a surprise.
The first and only time I ever went paintballing was on a friend’s birthday. One of his cousins thought it would be “funny” to put vinegar into the paintball and shoot them at people while the game was being set up (I think the logic was that the skin would break and the stinging stuff would get in there). I was tying my shoe and yawning when a paintball broke on my kneecap and sent the entrails of the ball flying into my throat. Not happy.
Urrgh. These comments make me feel more ill than the cartoon does!
I’ve eaten not just painball & vinegar fragments, but the painball itself. Direct hit in the mouth, in the days before masks covered the lower face – It busted on my teeth. Nasty, but not terribly so. At least is wasn’t a living bug or bird dookey.
Had a bee fly out of my mouth – not even sure how it got in there. I think it crawled into my mountain dew. I tool a swig, felt something wiggle in my mouth, opened, and a bee flew out. My co-workers all wanted me to do it again.
I once woke up chewing on something. As it turns out, it was a fly, one of those big, gross flies. Very uncool.
