If you’re one of the one in ten adults who has a food allergy, I feel your pain. You become a whizz at reading ingredient labels at light speed, but you can never enjoy a meal out without confirming multiple times that there won’t be allergens in your dish or cross contamination happening in the kitchen. You always have to pack a separate meal or bring an “allergy-free” option, and you’ll typically be left out when colleagues bring baked goods from home.

Below, you’ll find a story that a woman recently shared on Reddit, detailing how her parents’ love for Ferrero Rocher got way out of hand, as well as a conversation between her and Bored Panda.
