Ok so is this the story but this show almost killed me and I'm still upset over it.
So when I was little, I was watching this show. Why? I don't know considering how horrifying the animation looks. However, I was watching it and the show said that, "Corn was just over grown grass." I believe they should have specified more on this because 5 year old me decided to go out into the backyard and eat fist fulls of grass. After eating the grass, I wondered what other things in the backyard would taste like. Now you may be wondering, "But wouldn't it just taste bad? Why would you eat it if it tastes bad?" At age 5 I had over grown adenoids, which are glands in the roof of the mouth. However, since mine were over grown it blocked a significant part of my nose, which made it hard to breath through my nose and smell. Taste is 80% smell, therefor I had a limited sense of taste and could not sense well if whatever I was eating tasted bad if the taste was not strong enough. Most of the things I ended up eating, which were rocks, bark, mulch, and leaves, do not have a very strong taste.
After eating what I could in the backyard, I went out into the front yard to see what else I could eat. I saw the typical grass, rocks, and leaves in the front yard, but then I saw several shiny things in the grass. Naturally, I picked up one of the shiny objects and popped it into my mouth. After biting into the object, I spat it out because it is the most bitter thing I have ever tasted. The taste was so strong no matter how bad my sense of taste was it took 5 minutes to wash out the taste of the shiny object.
After eating the worst thing I've ever tasted, I asked my dad what was in the grass. My dad told me it was a deadly pesticide that if it was eaten, the person who ate it could die. I told my dad what I had done and he called poison control and asked me why I would ever eat something I had found on the ground. Little 5 year old me responded with, "Well, I was watching this show and it told me that corn was over grown grass..."
