The advertisement said “Shredded cheese with bacon and jalapeños”. It was $10.

      Growing up there was this punk house in my town I spent a lot of time at. For some reason they had a giant bag of packing peanuts, and someone said they were edible. We proceeded to eat a fair number of them. Not like a ton, but probably a few each. Definitely more styrofoam than a person should eat.

      There was also a small trampoline in the living room and I remember one day where it was declared acceptable to nut-punch each other. Just adding that to give context for the collective genius at work there.

      Anyway, I guess that was my body’s introduction to microplastic.

        If they dissolved when you ate them don’t worry, you probably just ate corn that wasn’t processed in a way intended for human consumption 👍

        I also ate packing peanuts at a punk house, no living room trampoline unfortunately haha. Is this just a punk house thing?

          Maybe the rumor of edible packing peanuts is a more widespread legend among punks than anyone would have guessed.
