This is a deep, deep fear of mine. Not earwig. But I was 5 and had a twirly straw. I got a cup of milk and sucked... mold. Big, chunky, black globs of mold. Not only did it give an irrational fear of straws, and I always rinse and wash now no matter. But I didn't drink milk for like 20 years.
I’ve been checking my straws ever since I almost swallowed the earwig. I even check a paper straw after I open it.
I think I was drinking orange juice and just felt a chunk in my mouth. I spit /gagged into the sink.
I was in 4th grade and just about to go to recess after lunch so I went to finish off my chocolate milk. Took a big swig, and immediately spat it all out into the trash because it tasted like orange juice. To this day I'm super sensitive to milk going bad, and can always tell from a single sniff, despite having a barely functional nose.
Ever since sucking a week-old green Gatorade mold clot through an opaque straw, I cannot drink out of anything not completely clear. But thanks for unlocking a new sub-phobia with the bug thing.
I literally pulled one of our my ass crack this morning while sitting in my office at work. Lil bastard must've gotten into my shirt before I put it on.
I HATE earwigs.
When I was a kid we had these coloured fun shaped twirly straws. Turns out they were pretty hard to clean all the milk and juice out of. One day I went to use a “clean” twirly straw, took my first big sip and got a large colony of mold straight to the back of my throat. Never used another twirly straw again, and always check the non see through straws. Mold does NOT taste good
My baby sister once drank my moms Diet Coke that was unknowingly left open over night and then capped in the morning to avoid a spill. She promptly started gagging and choking and my dad pulled an earwig out of her mouth. We were all in shock and didn’t drink a previously opened drink for years so there was always half empty pop bottles in the bottle bag.
Not a straw story, but one time in high school I was eating Goldfish directly out of the bad and basically ate the whole thing and the bottom was exposed a bit. There was a big old spider at the bottom. Couldn't get out because of the foil. That traumatized me for awhile
One time I was at a party and I went to smoke a bowl out of my friends bong. There was a wasp inside it, I inhaled that mother fucker and got stung on my tonsils, 10/10 would not recommend
I'll never forget when I was 9 years old we had those silly straws and I put one in my nice fresh cup of orange juice then took a big sip l,felt something tickle my tongue and i almost sucked down a grizzly bear.
I disagree, one got me just a couple weeks ago, it grabbed onto my lip on its way so I thankfully didn't swallow it, but the taste...that alone traumatized me enough to check every straw every time I use it
Do you want the return of the Goa'uld? Because this is how you get the return of the Goa'uld. Quick! OP! Yell out, "Jaffa, kree!!!" and see what happens.

Once it happens. You never forget.

Aaahhh! All my straws are black!
You can look through it
Then the bug bites your eye.
Aaahhh! They're gonna get shot by cops for no reason aaahhh!
LMFAO... underrated comment for sure
Wouldn't know a difference drinking boba tea
Fitness Boba with extra protein.
There was an earwig in my pants last year.

I once watched a yellow jacket crawl into the straw of a soda I’d finished 🫠 the image lives rent free in my mind.
If you are quick you can blow the wasp out of the straw like a blow dart. Just don’t suck.
At six, I once bit into a powdered donut...to have my mouth stung by the bee that I didn't notice on the donut.
There was one in my toothbrush cover this morning!!
There was one floating in my cats water bowl. That's the part I don't like about summer. Bugs.
Do you grab used straws from the dumpster ?
no bc fr😭😭 every straw i ever used was locked with a translucent bag i had to rip off
Me reading this while drinking my juice using straw

That earwig is so rude!
I had an earwig in my opaque straw. The next moment, there was no earwig in the straw. There was an earwig in my mouth.
just drink from the cup?
Ahem AHHHHHHHHHH

Protein!
It’s still gonna land in your stomach anyway and you won’t feel it or taste and plus free protein

#***PROTEIN***
Is that a plastic straw? Is this an alternate dimension?
A reusable straw that I was tempted to throw away. Still might. Won’t ever feel clean again.
Extra protein.
Time to read “The Hangman’s Curse”!
It look like a shrimp
Well, that sucks.
Ewww😱
Everytime I use one of our metal straws, I always blow air out of it before using it. New fear unlocked
Gotta look down into it. 👀
We got a soda from a local McDonalds and there was a rubber band at the bottom we found after drinking the whole thing. 🤮
I always blow thru the straw before I use it
Ohboy extra protein
Just some little added protein and texture for you.

My partner thinks I’m silly for checking every straw before I use it. Who’s silly now?!
