A worm in an apple?

Lounge
1

I just woke up a short time ago. I decided to grab an apple to munch on.

Everything was going fine. Apple was tasting normal. Then all off a sudden I bit into a spot that tasted really bad. Tasted like moist dirt/earth mixed with a chemically/pesticide like taste.

My grandma and grandpa, and now my aunts since they moved into same property, had/have apple trees. I know its possible for worms to get in there. But I have never found a worm inside a store bought apple before.

Anyway, that was the first conclusion that jumped into my mind after seeing the hole.

IDK what it was, but it was weird.

Was the apple organic? Did you buy the apple where you usually buy apples?

I’ve had insects in fruits and vegetables over the years, but none recently.

I don’t believe it was organic, no. My dad bought them from the grocery store. Yes, it was our normal grocery store.

Our house was built on an old, abandoned apple orchard and had plenty of wormy apples. They are very small, light in color and taste no different from the apples, themselves. What you got in yours looks awful.

This is traumatic.
It happened to me last year.
I didn’t byte or touch or taste the worm.
But saw it slithering out.

Oh noooo :nauseated_face:

The same thing happened to me once, except mine was a pear…

It’s been like, 8 years and it still haunts me :sweat_smile:.

But I suppose as others have said, it’s a good way to check if the apple is natural/edible. Still gross though, lol.

Maybe apples are sick of being killed, sliced and consumed. They figured out a way to live. They pay worms to invade them. It’s concerning. They wrote a book called The Rise of The Granny Smiths.
