I drank my paint brush water!

[kaoskat]

Pffft if pony paint was going to kill you, I'd have been dead ages ago! As was already stated most acrylics are non-toxic.

When you start to glow in the dark....then we have an issue! LOL!

[MANIMAL!]

Lol!  This needs to turn into a "what I ate and didn't want to" thread.

The bugs, by the way, didn't taste like anything. 

I used to get untreated flour, and it would get weevils in it. I would sift them out, but once I used it after it had gotten WAY too weevily. . . it tasted nasty. And I had already sifted the weevils out. I think what I was tasting was their. . . leavings.

I've eaten the paint right off the end of my brush before. I'm a notorious brush licker, especially with my super fine point liner brushes... Acrylic tastes...kind of like glue and play doh mixed together.

Please don't ask why I know what both of those taste like. 

I was a glue eater when I was a kid. And play-doh spaghetti was apparently delicious as well.

[PrincessKelliee]

Was it good? 

Haha, no, there was so little paint in it, it wasn't even cloudy. I'm only painting the horn right now, so hadn't gone very far.

Yeah, it was acrylic paint. I wasn't really worried, but when I realized what I was doing, I stopped swallowing and let it all fall out of my mouth on the table in horror :p

That's hilarious!  I have done that before when discovering I was eating something awful.  Like chocolate covered in tiny moving bugs. No idea what they were.  They looked like shaved off chocolate flakes (whitish) and were super tiny.  Horror! 

Ooooooh my!! I have goosebumps on my scalp right now!! O_O
(I have a huuuuuuge fobia of insects)

[WildBlue]

You so funny! This is a good lesson in what not to do. LOL
 I have not actually drank the paint water yet, but I've caught myself like mid arm raise and realized that wasn't my drink.

[PrincessKelliee]

Lesson for everyone; Don't drink and customize 

[Marigold]

Ew weevils.  Ew. And pet snake used cup for thawing...oh gosh that is gross! 

I once ate something very very bitter and nasty in my cereal. I have no idea to this day what it was.  There was no indication of anything living in the cereal and it was a box that we were just finishing up but it wasn't "old". That was the worst thing I think I have ever tasted.  It was so bitter.  But what was it!?

[RainbowRay]

Here's another one! I once found what I thought was a stray chocolate chip at the bottom of the cookie tin so I picked it up and ate it... It did NOT taste like a chocolate chip. Ew. Don't know what that was.

That's the only other disgusting thing I can remember accidentally consuming. I'll come back if I remember any more! This thread is funny.

Oh, I may have also swallowed a few bugs that have flown into my mouth. But doesn't everyone?

[Tenar]

Could be worse, I went to an art high school and in one class a student downed a glup of turpentine. 

You really need to label dangerous clear liquids carefully and don't have your water bottle next to a bottle of that stuff.

[audra-hime]

I'm glad to see it seems you shall live!! 

I used to keep bottles of water in my windowsill next to my bed...
A few years ago I reached for one in the middle of the night,
and I ended up waking up to a mouthful of the worst tasting substance ever....
NAIL POLISH REMOVER!

[CarnationTwirl]

I lick my brush tips sometimes, sometimes it just works better than the paint water to get the right consistency.  Considering I add windex to my paint water I'm probably also getting some of that as well as any acrylic residue in my mouth.... eeehh hasn't killed me yet.

I never use drinking glasses for any of my painting, so it's not a mistake I can see myself making.

[Pythia]

My cat drinks my paint water all the time. I can't get him to stop. Little turd.

[sunnydaze]

when customizing i always use a cup with a lid for my drinks then i can sort of keep in check that i didn't rinse my brush in my drink.  also if i pick up a drink that's uncovered then i know i got the brush water and NOT my drink...hopefully before it's entered my mouth...LOL

[mlp4me]

Eh, I accidentally drank my water color water when I was a kid... I guess I turned out ok, LOL.
