So, this morning started out like any other, or at least, that’s what I thought. I woke up, feeling pretty good, and got straight to working on a new project on AREALME. You know, those days where you feel productive right from the get-go?
Anyway, I decided to grab a healthy snack, so I picked up an apple I bought yesterday. It looked totally fine on the outside – nice and shiny, no weird spots, nothing special abnormal at all. I thought, “Great, a healthy pick-me-up!”
Now, I always peel my apples before eating them. I usually peel a bit, eat a bit, then peel some more. So, I peeled the first section, took a bite. Tasted good, crisp, all normal. I did that a couple more times. Everything was going smoothly.
Then I got to the other side of the apple. As I peeled, I saw it. Just pure, unadulterated rot. Like, dark brown and squishy. My stomach immediately clenched. I instinctively cut the apple into two halves, hoping maybe it was just a surface thing. Nope. It was completely, totally rotten inside. Black and mushy from the core outwards. Ugh.
My first thought was, “Oh my god, I just ate some of that.” My stomach churned. I needed to get it out. Fast. I grabbed my phone and, believe it or not, jumped on TikTok. I searched “how to puke” or “how to throw up yourself.” Surprisingly, I found some pretty helpful tips.
And then… I did it. I actually made myself throw up the apple I’d swallowed. Honestly, it was awful. But I managed to get it all out.
Here’s the really gross part though: that was the first time I’ve ever made myself throw up. And when I finally managed to stop and looked in the mirror, my eyes… there were these little red, bloody spots all around them. Apparently, that can happen when you strain too hard. It looked absolutely terrible and was pretty terrifying for a few minutes.
Talk about a wake-up call. This whole ordeal taught me one very important thing: from now on, I am always cutting my fruit completely into pieces before I eat even a single bite. Not just apples, either. Any fruit. You just never know what’s lurking inside, even if the outside looks perfect.
Seriously, save yourself the stomachache, the panic, and definitely the scary bloody eyes. Check your fruit!
