“Somebody else was eating macaroni and cheese. I wasn’t eating macaroni and cheese. I wanted macaroni and cheese.”
We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to share the silliest and most embarrassing things that have ever .
And a LOT of people admitted to crying because of food.

That’s legit, though: Food is a truly moving and emotional thing.
Especially these foods, which are but a small sampling of all the foods that have made people break down and lose it. Try to contain yourself.
Waffles
I was having a bad week and I went to get a waffle out of my freezer. The box was empty but someone had eaten all the waffles and put the box back. I threw the box in the floor and cried for 10 minutes. —

I was eating a bagel and cream cheese and started crying when I realized I couldn’t finish the other half, and I would never be able to make the bagel understand that it was just because I was full and NOT because I didn’t want to eat it. (birth control, amiright?) —
Nutella, again

Nutella.. I was eating it out of the jar with apples, when out of nowhere, I burst into legitimate tears asking “why is it so good!?!”. While my sister laughed and proceeded to take many snapchats of me… —

I cried and sobbed “PASTURIZED CHEESE PRODUCT” in a diner upon finding a Kraft single on my omlette. I was not acclimating well to the south’s lack of good brunch after a recent move from Massachusetts. My boyfriend still won’t let me live it down. —
Northern food
I am from the South. When I moved away for college all I wanted was some fried chicken and sweet tea. My boyfriend drove me around all night looking for fried chicken and after the third restaurant we went too only had grilled chicken and generic sweet tea I cried for an hour. I’m single now. —
Chocolate cake

I was taking these new birth control pills that made me emotional as hell AND I was on my period. My mom brought home a chocolate cake from her job and I was cutting the cake and then I burst into tears thinking about how the person who baked this cake went to cooking school for years and graduated and now they’re living their dreams making cakes for people just like me. I was VERY appreciative. LMAO — Ashley Sy, Facebook
Exploding eggs

Red velvet cupcakes

One morning my mom came from the store with a 4 pack box of huge red velvet cupcakes, I couldn’t wait to eat them when I got home from school. When I got home later that day, I was relieved to see there was 1 left. I was struggling to get it out of the box and when I succeeded, the cupcake fell with the frosting on the floor. I just gasped in horror when I saw that my cupcake was ruined. I just thought about how I thought about eating this cupcake all day just to have to throw it away. That’s when I bawled for about 10 minutes — Carmen Garcia, Facebook
Cheeseburger

I once cried for like a straight half hour because earlier that day I had gotten a cheeseburger (my favorite food) and not been able to finish it and then I got hungry again. — Yzabeaux Feather, Facebook
Salsa

I had a really bad day and when I got home all I wanted was some chips and salsa. I couldn’t get the salsa jar open, I tried all those trucks like hot water and gripping it with a towel and it wouldn’t budge. I ended up holding the jar of salsa on the floor while I sobbed. —
Stuffed zucchini

I had two slices of leftover pizza that I was stoked to eat after a long day of work. Came home and they were MIA. Turns out, my little brother ate my pizza. I closed myself in my bedroom and cried for an hour. He felt awful. — Carly Bass, Facebook
Messy Mexican food

Once my family ordered Mexican for dinner, and I have a very specific method of preparing my food before eating it (first the sour cream on it, then the guac, etc) and just when I had made it perfect my dad realized we had each other’s food, and made me switch. His was a big ol’ mess and there was no way to fix it. I cried inconsolably for about fifteen minutes. I was 18. —
