Observation. I just found a hair in my burger, got me to think
I just pulled the hair out of my mouth and thought to myself that a lot of people would be sick to find a hair in their burger. But then I thought about how many people I know that have had one night stands and it seemed to be no big deal.
So.. what is nastier? One hair in a burger or the exchange of more than just hair with people you don't know?

27. What's worse than finding a hair in your burger?
Finding a pubic hair in your burger....

Seriously, hair is relatively clean and edible. It's dead tissue, and easily digested or passed out.

I worked with a haircare company for more than a decade and this is what we learned from the scientists.

But you don't want to know what's in hair conditioners. Don't ask...don't tell.

5. my laughing aside now...
it always amazes me how weird we are about hair in food. I hate the feel of it, but some are disgusted because they are injesting dead cells from another human.

I wonder how many dead skin cells we eat every day?


PS - go get your money back.
:D

8. Nah.. I just continued to eat it..lol
It was only a hair, I have had worse things in my mouth. It was just a thing I wondered about. It's not a judgment or anything like that. Just curiosity.

11. I'm with ya.
I agree, I do the same thing. Pull it out, move on. Hell, even forgetting to wash your hands before you eat, you're ingesting a lot more shit that way.

An aside: when I was around 15, a girl-friend of mine pulled a hair from her head, placed on the pizza that just came to our table, called over the waitress, and we got our pizza free. :D

Naw, the fashion industry actually. That move came out of nowhere, I couldn't believe she did it. She's not that way.

16. Hmmmmm...
I was out drinking with my young lady friend last week, and she asked if I wanted to polish off the last of her beer. I declined, citing the grossness of backwash. To which she replied "Inside of half an hour, your tongue's going to be in my (REDACTED), but you won't drink a little of my spit?" My reply was that I had no objections to her saliva qua her saliva, a quantity of it mixed with the dregs of a tepid Rolling Rock lacked the appeal of say, a thin sheen of it coating my (REDACTED). I further explained that though her hair looked lovely on her head, one strand of it in my soup would be revolting. Who the fuck knows why we parse things that way, it makes no sense to me either.

25. I usually can handle a random hair in food
but I've had to teach about STD's before and those facts scare the shit out of me! I'd much rather have the contaminated burger.
