50. Exactly 82.

Nov 2012

I know because my parents and I negotiated a number because I refused to eat them after the first one, not just the taste but the texture makes me gag and I literally cannot swallow them unless I manually shove them past my gag-reflex with my finger. #82 went down and I took off like a shot for the bathroom to vomit them all right back up.

Never had to eat them again. The mere smell or appearance of them makes me nauseous.
