According to Urban Dictionary, a threatening aura is “a place, person or object that makes you feel like you're in danger just by looking at it, sometimes characterized by unsanitary condition.”
But there’s so much more to a threatening aura than meets the eye. Especially when it’s something very close and relevant to us, like things we eat. Food too can have a threatening aura, making us question everything from its contents to serving, edibility to potential danger.
This Instagram page titled “Food With Threatening Auras” is a great place to look at real-life examples of cursed food. Below we wrapped up some of the most weirdly wonderful examples and served them right here. Enjoy! Or maybe not.

While some foods clearly have threatening auras as we have seen in this post, there exists a whole new world of weird and unusual foods popular among culinary thrill seekers. Edible insects like ants, crickets, and mealworms have been a staple in many far East diets, whether eaten raw, cooked, or added to other dishes.
Now, a growing body of research has found that edible insects have superior health benefits due to their high levels of vitamin B12, iron, zinc, fiber, essential amino acids, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and antioxidants.
For example, this study claims that the addition of edible insects such as crickets to the human diet could offer numerous benefits. For example, the environmental and nutritional benefits include an overall reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, decreased agricultural use of land and water, improved prevention and management of chronic diseases like diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease, and enhanced immune function.
While today, most animals are born and raised for their muscle tissues, organ meats are largely overlooked. However, hunter-gatherers didn’t just eat muscle meat. They ate the organs too, such as brains, intestines and even testicles. In fact, the organs were highly prized.
Organ meats, known as offal, can be seen as a culinary oddity not for faint stomachs, but the fans of it claim it’s nature’s most concentrated source of virtually every important vitamin, mineral, amino acid, and fat.
Healthline reports that organ meats are particularly rich in B-vitamins, such as vitamin B12 and folate. They also have an abundance of minerals, including iron, magnesium, selenium and zinc, and important fat-soluble vitamins like vitamins A, D, E and K.

Would you like some salad cookies for dessert with your chocolate chip dip and cinnamon roll pizza?
Totally saw a boat on water (at a glance) and after I saw the caption I realized what I was looking at, lol!
No one seems to know, but I also heard it was somewhere in the Arctic where food is expensive. https://www.truthorfiction.com/canadian-peanut-butter-packaging/

As an healthcare worker I can confirm this. Many times it does actually look like that. And have more similarities to peanut butter too… like the difference in textures…. I no longer buy peanut butter myself. Luckily the smell is absolutely different

I was thinking the same thing. It would come in handy when clipping my dogs nails. Even better if it came with double side tape so I could slap it on the wall

I've seen it packaged that way at the farmers market. Jars are expensive.
I have not seen those type of styrofoam packages in many years here! And the more I think of it, I’m getting more and more sure about that’s not used

So much wrong here. How do you store it? Would just take one puncture of the plastic wrap to contaminate the whole thing. Is someone just very stupid?
What units are they using for weight and price? That can't be dollars or pounds or Euros.
Ok to be fair that sounds solid, but you've got to check out the mayonnaise or peanut butter knife on Amazon. I had no idea this was even a thing. I mean someone thought " hey let's make a super long knife, spatula thingy and sell it so people can scrape the bottom and not get all gooey". I'm just wondering how much money they've already made🤔

Well if you look at the item next to it, that is Kerrygold butter. So I throw in some bananas and Wonder Bread, and you have yourself an Elvis Breakfast kit.
First off, if that price is in US money, then that's some expensive peanut butter.
Ever and no way. Someone has put their cheesy little hands all over this peanut butter
Seriously, I would rather go through the bother of making peanut butter from scratch than buy it in a meat tray for $12. This is just not right.
Is. Is that in, US dollars?! Is it free range grass fed single source organic smooshed between 2 virgins?
Fresh made, no sugar, no oil, no preservatives. Possibly made small batch local if not in the store. Kind of pricy though and would have been better if they had used deli cups.
The store I work at does "Grind-Your-Own Peanut Butter" and sometimes the stuff left at the bottom of the machine looks like a dingleberry
Wrapped in styrofoam and plastic ... *tightly hugs my glass pb jar*

It's a good thing I could stand to lose some weight, because I'm never eating again after this article XD
I could do with losing a few pounds myself, but I'm afraid it takes a LOT more to put me off food.
