I can't remember the worst thing that I ever ate, but I can remember the worst thing I ever drank. I was about 7 years old and at my aunt's house. Nobody was in the kitchen and peeked into the fridge. There was a bottle of 7Up that had been opened & had one of those little plastic things on the top. (If you're old enough to remember those. If not, they kept the pop fresh after you had opened it. It was when pop came in glass bottles) Anyway, I decided to open it and steal a big swig of it. It took my breath away. It burned my mouth & my throat and set my stomach on fire! I even got light headed. I made my way out to the back porch and tried to collect myself. I couldn't tell anyone, because I was sneaking it. Years later I found out that my uncle used to bring back Moonshine from Tennessee and he put it in 7Up bottles. So, that was the worst thing that I've ever gotten a hold of.
