So I accidentally drank mold

I want to preface this post by clarifying this is not a hate post about Arizona tea. They are a cool company, their CEO is a decent dude (which is rare these days lbr) and mistakes happen. But I drank mold on accident and since it happened I’ve been examining every physical response that isn’t “normal” in case I have to go to urgent care or something. God forbid. Do you have any idea what a headache urgent care is when you have a child? Anyway.

I opened a can of the green tea with raspberry I think, and it tasted kinda weird at first but I thought it was an issue of not being on ice. You know how some drinks just taste better icy and chilled? I poured it over ice and took it to my office to sip on while I worked. But in the few sips I took I just couldn’t shake this taste that was really and truly off. Like toxic plastic. *vomits*

I told my husband about it and had him look into it, and sure enough there was fucking cloudy white moldy crap in the drink and I DRANK IT. *vomits more* In actuality I only had a few sips but still. I’ve been having some stomach cramping – but that also could be my reproductive cycle. I have a bit of a scratchy throat – but I have a child and get colds frequently. A few times here and there I’ve felt like maybe I could have the shits or actually vomit but thankfully nothing has happened yet.

And don’t get me wrong I still love Arizona teas but that might be the last time I drink one for a while. Or any drink that I can’t see through the packaging of. My husband did report the incident and batch number of the can to Arizona, and we don’t our money back or anything (it cost all of 60 cents at our local WinCo) but felt it was important to let them know.

So that’s the story about how I drank mold. If I die I’ll post an update.
