Well, since you're not going to eat lunch anyway...
Years ago, I was working 3rd shift in a data center so as to finish up
my education during the day (for some reason, they only offered the 400
level Physics classes during the day). I would take cereal for my meal
as I would eat around 4am. One morning, I had just taken a good number
of bites out of my bowl of cereal when my eye caught some movement.
Glancing down, I noted there were a number of maggets wiggling around in
my bowl amongst the cereal flakes.
I didn't eat cereal for years after that incident...
