This was 30 years ago. I lived on the second floor of an apartment. I left a half-eaten bag of Little Debbie chocolate donuts on the floor next to my bed. The next night, in a dark room, watching David Letterman, I remembered and reached for the bag. I was three donuts in before I noticed the slightly strange taste, and the ant crawling on my face.
This was something like 16-17 years ago now so it's clearly left a mark
It was about 2-3am, I lived on the ground floor of a student house and I wanted a snack. Remembering I had bought some yoghurts a day or two before I figured that's what I was going for.
Now I'm not really sure what happened, if I picked up an old one I'd not noticed or it was just bad from the shop, but it didn't notice until after I'd taken the first mouthful.
Needless to say it tasted genuinely awful and put me off yoghurt in general for a good while
The Elvis. The sandwich American rock singer Elvis Presley made famous. Peanut butter, banana, and bacon. Grilled like a grilled cheese sandwich.
Addendum: I am allergic to peanut butter. I got ahold of a soy-based alternative called Wowbutter, and people who are not allergic tell me they nailed the taste, but the aftertaste is kinda not good. So, the first thing I did was shove a whole teaspoon-full of it in my mouth. My brain goes "you dumb fuck, you're gonna die," but I didn't, because it wasn't toxic. So I went and tried everything made with peanut butter (BTW, strawberry > grape for PB&Js), including the Elvis. A lot of it was kinda gross. I guess if you were raised on peanut butter, maybe, I can see it, but I didn't think the experience was anything special. Not when Nutella exists... which I also can't have. But then there's Biscoff spread, which is non-toxic, apparently it's also vegan (wouldn't peanut butter be, too?), and it's ten billion percent better than all that other shit. Though, you would be absolutely right in saying I've never had real peanut butter, or your favourite variety of it.
As someone not allergic to peanuts, but who grew up in Europe, I was probably about 20 when I tried peanut butter for the first time. I agree with you, it's meh. Not terrible, not great.
Nutella, ovomaltine, pistachio or white chocolate spreads are much better. Never tried biscoff, sounds promising.
Mouthwash? You sure you weren't drinking a bad sample? A&W brand root beer has a decently strong vanilla taste, although I personally prefer Barq's which doesn't.
Solid stuff? Someone did a really shit job of making it then. Unless you mean something that isn't called jelly here. Taste is subjective but if they fucked that bit up then I wouldn't be surprised if other things were done wrong too.
When I was around 3 or 4 y/o, a neighbour kid managed to convince me to take a bite of a dried dog shit.
I don't remember what he'd said that convinced me, I just remember the laughter when I actually did it... I wasn't the brightest kid, but very curious and gullible.
Salted chips without the chip. I was mindlessly eating some chips from the bag and suddenly there was this intense salt flavour quickly overpowered by way too much rotten oil flavour. When I spit it out, it looked like a clump of deep fried salt.
::: spoiler Aftermath
The next day I continued eating the bag of chips and there was an even bigger clump still in the bag, which I again noticed once it was too late...
:::
Probably psyllium husks with water. It's supposed to help digestion, but the texture is fucking awful. AFAIK you can also buy these as pills, but I've never seen any in a store.
I refused the liquid because it made me gag but I couldn’t swallow pills yet. Tried putting it in any and everything to hide the taste but it still made its way through. Made me hate eggnog for a long time, too.

Whats the most disgusting thing you've ever put in your mouth? | Spyke
Live ants.

Ants taste a bit sour and bitter.
A particular man's penis. I realized too late that he didn't routinely clean under his foreskin.
An oyster
The town I grew up in is famous for them, we even learned about them in school but I'd never tried one
Finally decided to just before I moved away for university and eugh, salty mucus-y blob, had to spit it out again, poor lil guy
Cat treat. Ate it on a dare. It was fucking foul. 0/10.
I used to work in a pet food store and tried a bunch of treat samples we had. They're not very good if you aren't a dog or a cat, turns out
There are posh producers who do 100% freeze dried meat pet food and treats. Even so, probably not something you want or need in your body.
Mouldy yoghurt

Probably dextromethorphan powder, it's absolutely disgusting, sulbutiamine powder is pretty bad too
A raw firefly squid marinated in soy sauce. ホタルイカの沖漬け。
I dint know if the most disgusting, but the biggest delta between expectation and reality was root beer.
Expected something vanilly or maybe gingery, got mouthwash. I genuinely spit the first sip.

Jelly while on a trip in the UK. There was solid stuff inside that looked and tasted like vomit.

I'm wondering if they had marmalade with chunks of rind
So not jelly at all?

this feels like a trap.....
Why you feeling up traps?
I once got a burger from a cheap looking fast food place and my first bite was funky and cold.
Looked at the meat and it was basically still raw and partially frozen in the center.
It was a bad time.

Also, gristly meat.
Liver. Onions were fine, but what kinda sicko likes to eat liver?
Crushed up amoxicillin tablets.
