Anyone here have a story of eating too much of a good retro food and getting sick? I was reading the "Discontinued Foods" thread and remembered when I got sick.
I was probably 9 or 10 years old. My mom bought us some "Challenge of the Gobots" cereal. My brother and I really liked it. We kept eating it all day. At night I wanted some more cereal and there was hardly any milk left. But did that stop me? Nope. I had to finish the last remaining bowl of cereal.
I went to sleep, but then after awhile I woke up with a horrible stomache pain. I got up and all of sudden I felt like I had to vomit. I tried running as fast as I could to the bathroom, but unfortunately I didn't make it and hurled yellow Gobot goo on the carpet....and it didn't end there.
Anyone ever heard George Lopez's joke about how Mexicans mix pepto-bismal with 7-up as a cure for everything? Well, it's true, lol.
After I puked my mom got out the pepto and she gave me some cola as a substitute for the 7-up. I took the pepto and soda. But after a couple of minutes, I ran and vomited again! This time I made it to the toilet. It was gross. Pink and brown in the toilet. Gross.
She tried giving me the pepto-cola combo again, but I refused. My stomache was giving me payback for being such a pig and I decided not to ingest anything more. Ah the memories.
