How gross does it get?

Properly gross — bodily functions, weird foods, hygiene disasters. Not for the squeamish, but never mean.

No — keep this one for personal life.

Four to six — large enough to compete for the worst story, small enough that the gag reflexes are visible.

Have you ever picked a scab and eaten it?

Why people ask this

Food questions cut through small talk faster than almost anything else — everyone has an opinion, a regret, or a story they did not expect to tell. Gross questions earn their place because the laughter they trigger is louder than almost any other category — horror and humour share more wiring than people think. What makes this format durable is that a no can be just as interesting as a yes. 'No, but I once…' or 'No, and here is why not' opens a conversation the question never directly asked for. The best sessions are ones where the follow-up runs longer than the question itself.
