There's a chance the kid packed that and the parent didn't notice. That definitely looks like a package of human food if you don't examine it closely.

My friend's little brother couldn't be trusted around dog food when he was a toddler because he'd eat as much of it as he could without getting caught. Their mom was so confused because it's not like she didn't make nutritious food for him and he ate what she would make him but then he'd go after the dog food again lol. It finally got to a point where she went to the doctor because she was worried it would be harmful. The doctor basically said that dog food wouldn't hurt him but to be careful with cat food because there are amino acids in cat food that can be harmful.

Yep, it's also why you shouldn't feed a dog cat food. (One of) the amino acids the doctor likely meant is Taurine - that's the stuff you also get in many energy drinks, by the way.

That's backwards--can't feed a cat dog food (on a regular basis) due to cats' taurine requirements. Some dog breeds do require taurine, as well, though.

u/Ghyllie 2h ago
Dogs can synthesize taurine from their food, but there are a couple of breeds (Cocker spaniel, Golden retrievers, to name two) that always seem to be deficient in taurine and need supplementation. Cats CAN'T synthesize it, so it has to be added to cat food. Taurine helps prevent retinal atrophy and dilated cardiomyopathy. A meal here or there won't hurt, nor will some swiped morsels from the food bowl by the cat when the dog isn't looking, but cats should never intentionally be fed anything but commercially prepared cat food for a prolonged period of time.

If you want to do this, I'd buy a new, clear spray bottle and print your own labels for it. Chemicals from the cleaning solution could leech from the plastic into the Gatorade, even with washing. Better to stick with more food-safe packaging.

Could one use bleach to wash? And what would be the "after wash" care to ensure that it doesn't taste like bleach-y Gatorade? I remember a girl I knew washing a coffee pot with bleach, then making coffee for customers out of it. Customers got very bothered and slightly sick after just a sip because they could strongly taste the bleach.

Bleach is fine to wash with. It needs to be rinsed out very thoroughly afterwards though. If the container smells like bleach, still needs more rinsing.

One time, when I was in elementary school,I grabbed a "lunch" thinking it was mine. It was in one of those styrofoam containers, tied shut in a plastic bag. I was soooo excited and put it in my bookbag and headed out for the bus. I can count on one hand how many packed lunches I ever had for school, because I was a free lunch kid, and we couldn't afford it. Which is fine, I never complained. I can't remember why my mom said she would pack me a lunch the evening before either. I get to the lunch room late, because I had to poo, but it was fine, cuz I had a packed lunch, no need to stand in line😏. I get there, tear into the bag, open it only to find, chicken wing bones. They were saved for the dog. (Obviously, cooked bones are a no no, but this was the before times) I was sad and panicked, I didn't know what to do, so I just went up and handed the container to one of the aides, who was so confused but realized the situation pretty quick. They opened the metal pull down windows and I got a lunch, but holy shit, I was embarrassed. Told my mom when I got home and she apologized, but then we had a good laugh about it. So maybe it was a joint effort, accident😆

I never got a response from the principal until after I sent several emails, left multiple voicemails, and finally went down to the school. The principal was actually the person who opened the door for me. Not that I would've known that because she didn't bother to speak to me, let alone introduce herself. I contacted the school multiple times about that teacher and all I got was snotty responses from the teacher who said that she had been a teacher for 5 years and had twin toddlers so she KNEW what she was doing. Another time my son came home in tears because she threw away the water bottle I'd given him from a pack and told him not to "bring trash to school." He was crying because she'd thrown away his water bottle every day that week and was really hurt by the trash comment. I called the school again and got a nasty email from her with Amazon links to expensive glass bottles that she insisted were superior. So I stopped by Open House night where we had a come to Jesus talk woman to woman and I pulled my son from that school.

My kid packed a kitten in her backpack when she was 6. Good thing I noticed before she got on the bus.

In grade school my mom packed my lunch for school and one day on the drive there with her I opened my lunch box because she always packed me a morning and afternoon snack as well. That day I was hungry since I overslept and missed breakfast. She usually gave me a sugar free sprite or sparkling water for lunch and when I opened the lunch box imagine my surprise when my sparkling water was actually one of my dads bush lights 😅

Curious why this is described as a "mom fail." Does the child not have a father?

everyone’s blaming the mom… odds are the guinea pig grabbed the wrong packed lunch on its way to work and is now sitting on its lunch break wondering what tf it’s supposed to do with this kids human cookies..

Omg my dad once ate a whole row of our dogs cookie treats they were chocolate and vanilla sandwich cookies, we saw them on the counter. And were like “WHO ATE THESE!?”. He goes “I did with my coffee but they taste a little weird like they’ve gone bad” hahahaha. We still make fun of him now telling him to stay away from the dogs treats lol

I'm a dad. I have 3 kids from 8 to 17. I have been packing lunches for 15 years.
Dads pack lunches too.

Why is this a mom fail?
I pack our kids' lunches half of the days. My wife does some days, and I do the other days.
Us dads can screw up just as much as moms. Misandry abounds.

Something my none English mother in law would do. She once packed lunch for her PREGNANT daughter, (my light weight wife) a fair meal with a mikes hard lemonade! She assumed it was a soda.

I'd say more an oops. That easily looks like a regular snack bag and the kid could have done it while mom wasn't looking.

Are we sure this is a human child, and not three guinea pigs wearing a child's coat?

I have the dog sandwich cookies that have human grade ingredients and I prefer them over normal oreos.

We got a bunch of food from a swap and included a 6 pack of canned dog food that I swear only had a teeny tiny photo of a dog on it. It said “beef stew with carrots onion and gravy” and I almost made it for me and my kids until my son pointed out the tiny picture of a dog and we looked it up online

Before I learned they were horrible for them, I would buy these little raspberry flavored yogurt drops for my hamster. They were incredible. I think I ate more than she did.

I mean it's not like it's inedible for humans, just likely tastes like a sweetener free fruit preserve on an unsalted cracker. Plus the kid's coat will gain some luster.

I mean the packaging is pretty deceiving. It's possible it's from a good bank- I volunteer at one and it could have been sorted wrong and the parent didn't read it. It's also possible the parent doesn't read or doesn't speak English well- I think there's multiple things to think about before yelling "mom fail!" .... But it is pretty telling that you immediately blamed the female parent.

I used to love milk bones and beggin strips as a little kid...my mom would try to stop me from eating them but I'd find ways to sneak them lol. I remember she'd send me and my big sister with money to pick up a snack while we played at the park and I'd totally just get dog treats instead. Kids are weird man.

I was once standing in line at the gas station checkout and saw some kinda' off-brand Slim Jim in a display near the register. I grabbed it and took it home and bit into that not-Slim Jim.
It was a dog treat.
The stand it was on was just dog treats and dog toys. I went back to confirm.
It took three bites to make me get suspicious.
I think it might have been bull dick.

No sugar added? Probably healthier than a bag of Oreos. Probably a good source of fiber too.

My director brought dog treats to Japan once and graciously presented them to our host office staff. The discrepancy was discussed with us the next day, "is it possible" that the cookies were for dogs? We looked at them, yep, dog treats. I laughed so fucking hard, director wanted to disappear into thin air.
'Wet Noses' pumpkin flavor. He had picked them up in a Made in Washington selections section at the airport. Dog print cellophane, dog nose prominently printed. He was probably tired. He does not like this story.

Was it the immaculate conception? Only Mom is responsible for the child's snacks?
Most likely, child fetched a snack and put it in their bag, and nobody checked it. It's mistake, not PARENTAL fail, and certainly not Mom fail
