    My friend after eating 500 grams of peanuts “Isn’t it funny when you eat penuts and your throat closes and itches a lot?”

    Me: “Man, I love chocolate so much, it’s a shame it makes my throat feel so tight and sore.”

    My mom: “Hey Ash… You’re not allowed to eat chocolate any more…”

      Reminds me of this YouTube channel I used to watch called “WheresMyChallenge”.

      They did a “1lb Snickers Bar” video. Where one of them promptly discovered he was allergic to nuts.

    I hate this. Kiwis taste sooooo good. But I also have some mild allergy. Same with pineapples.

          I love Kiwifruit season when they get down to like $1/kg

          I eat a lot of them.

          The juice is great for tenderizing meat also.

            Man, where do you live? I’m in Minnesota, and our kiwi have to come from halfway around the globe. $1/lb sounds like a fantasy to me.

            I once dated a girl who grew up in Hawaii. She used to mock us mainlanders for buying starfruit. First of all, because she thought they aren’t a very good fruit, but second because apparently where she grew up, they were something of a pest plant: they were everywhere and dropped their fruit on the sidewalk and you’d step on them if you weren’t careful and it’d make a mess.

            It’s all perspective, huh?

      Pineapple.actively bites you back, so it might not be a mild allergy.

      Have you tried cooking a pineapple and then eating it and see if you still have symptoms

      I have read that some people may not actually be allergic to kiwi itself, but to a byproduct of a chemical reaction between the kiwi and a metal spoon. Have you tried eating one without a metal utensil?

        Why would you need a spoon? It’s all edible except the hard bit at one end (which is probably edible too, but too pointy to risk it) and the hairy bit at the other (which is almost certainly edible, but eww, hairy). The skin is where the vitamins are.

        Just clean it to remove the insecticides and herbicides and whatnot, and bite chunks off the thing until only those two bits (and quite a lot of juice all over your fingers and mouth) are left…

    Recently realized the awful hangover I always get drinking cocktails after new years is actually from the shrimp cocktail

      If they don’t want eaten they shouldn’t be flightless and taste citrusy. Darwin is a cruel but fair master.

    You shouldn’t perform oral sex if this happens to you, but I’m sure it is not related to nationality.

    My partner has this allergy. It has nearly killed them before, and surely will if they eat kiwi fruit again since they don’t have an epipen.
