So much for breakfast!

I noticed something floating in my cereal that looked like rice.

upon closer inspection

now proceed to go vomit...

Mini Trix Cereal. I store all of my food properly and this has never happened before to me.

Edit: while they may be great protein and even better for you than the cereal, its not a nice surprise.

Just moth larva. Had a pretty big problem with them about a year back. Check your powdery groceries.

Maybe it was the "suprise toy" at the bottom of the box?

I like how you freak out about this, while having no problem eating your industrial shit.

It's probably healthier than the cereal!

Well considering that industrialization limited occurrences of insects in our food stuffs while increasing its longevity for shipping(1)

I'd say its not entirely unsound to hope it'd continue keeping bugs out. But shit does happen.(2)

get to wheat products inside. I'd double check the bottom of all the bags and boxes in you cupboard. Throw out the infested stuff(2)

Refrigerate the rest until you can get thick plastic containers to hold sections of food in. Isolate the food using the containers(3)

Check each periodically and throw away all the contents of an infected container. Wash the container and then bring in new stuff.(4)

Its annoying as fuck and takes some iterations but eventually you get rid of them. That's if this isn't specific to one box.(5)
