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 thrown up a little bit in your mouth and had to swallow it back down?

Why people ask this

This question works because the yes-or-no split always surprises the room — someone answers in a way nobody expected, and the conversation starts from there. 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. Have You Ever questions work because they give everyone the same binary entry point — yes or no — and then let the room decide how far to go. A quick nod counts. A ten-minute story also counts. The format never forces anyone to say more than they want to, which is exactly why people do.
