disturbing

There's been a lot of talk about Bong Joon-Ho's Oscar-winning Parasite, but this true and incredibly disturbing story kind of trumps it. Horror writer Grady Hendrix shared a chilling tale back in October about innocent food-sneaking gone incredibly wrong. Kids are known for sneaking around, and one night when Hendrix intended to sneak-eat his family's leftovers, he discovered a strange man in his kitchen consuming the contents of the family fridge. It doesn't stop there. His family didn't believe him, but later, some disturbing proof of his "run-in" comes to light. And we are not envious of the experience. 

We've been seeing a lot of wholesome content lately. It makes sense. When the world feels bleak, most people need a little positivity to remind them that even the pain is temporary. This post is not for these people. Reddit user u/mc_gnome took to r/AskReddit requesting people share some 'unfun facts' on the thread. The responses weren't just 'unfun,' they're actually mind-blowingly morbid and depressing. But some people, like us, enjoy learning of the cruelty of nature. And these posts are for you.

We're well aware of the internet's myriad uses and benefits. We're able to keep in touch with friends who have scattered as we get older. We can express ourselves on social media. There are a million channels that connect people with similar interests. Unfortunately, some people are absolutely twisted and contribute boat loads of cringe that will burn the eyes and scar people who aren't prepared for it. So here we are, preparing you for the onslaught of pain these images will bring you. You're welcome.

If you don't want Pop Tarts completely ruined for you, then you should probably steer clear from this gallery. However, if you couldn't care less about the delicious pastry of our  collective childhoods, then scroll down for some disturbing and thankfully completely made-up flavors that someone clearly created out of crippling boredom!

Could you classify any of this as actual food? We can't, but apparently a lot of people did back in the day. If your Boomer parents ever try to tell you how much better life was back then, just hit 'em with an "OK Boomer" and show them this gallery of horrifying foods from the mid-twentieth century that will almost certainly make your stomach churn. Bring on the jello.

If you're still trying to figure out how to carve your pumpkins this Halloween, let these pics give you a little bit of inspiration. Who knew doctors had such a sick and twisted sense of humor? Like, imagine walking into a hospital needing surgery and seeing this creepy sh*t. Nightmares galore.

In case you're a person who's ever (for some reason) longed for the values and morals of the 1950s, just take a scroll through this Tumblr thread about some of the disturbing monstrosities that people used to call "food."

Are you ready to feel slightly weirded out? Well we've got the pics for you!

You're gonna want to nope right out of these.

There's just something kind of not right about all of these wtf pics.
