When I was very young, those Red Licorice Ropes were just five cents. I ate so many I was very nauseous. For hours. To this day I avoid ANY red licorice.

When I was somewhat older and should have known better...But I was a grunt.

We just returned to our base camp in Vietnam and one of the guys noticed the mess tent being resupplied and liberated two large cylinders of frozen strawberries.

I ended up with one cylinder, guessing it was a one-gallon size? HUGE!
I split it with a buddy and proceeded to eat most of my half!

Did you know that you can get hives from overeating strawberries?
I learned that very quickly.
Not a mistake I would repeat.
