If I Were To Eat The Contents Of A K-cup

What happens if you eat a tea bag?

Yesterday I made myself some white tea and the bag snapped. It opened and the contents spilled out. But I didn't know that and I drank some of it until I felt little things going into my mouth and it turns out I was eating some offthe contents of the bag. Is this bad? What happens?

Is it bad to eat watermelon when you wake up hungover? if so why?

No. Like the other answers said the water would be good to rehydrate you.
I have heard this before, that Watermelon and alcohol can kill you. The other version just claims beer. Both are false. I have no idea how this came about or how it can be perpetuated.

Do Reese's Cups expire? If so, where can their expiration date be found on the bag?

yes they do. they put it in the back or on the flap

Is any kind of rodent/pest attracted to coffee grounds?

Well, I heard that coffee grounds are actually a repellent to mice etc., but when I took my box of Keurig coffee K-cups out of the cabinet, I saw that one of the K-cups had a rather large hole in the top. The hole was jagged like it had been punched through with a fork - or teeth/claws or something. I figure I'm just paranoid - but I found it kind of odd. I haven't noticed any other signs of rodents, and I guess the K-cup could have been damaged in the factory or something - but I'd still like to know if there might be something more to this.

Can you die from eating cigarettes? How many cigarettes can you eat before you die?

YES!  Eating just ONE cigarette would kill a child or light weight adult non-smoker.  The LD (lethal dose) for nicotine is 0.5-1mg/kg for humans.  So, if someone weighs 150 pounds, that's 68 kilograms, then their lethal dose would be between 34 and 68mg.  1 American cigarette typically contains 15-25mg of nicotine. (Source:  Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products by Gosselin, et al, 1984)The Viola Yee's response incorrectly claimes 30-40 cigarettes is lethal.  The confusion arises from the source's (wikipedia's) data.  The Wikipedia entry references the Washington Post article to quantify how much nicotine is in each cigarette.  The Post article describes its nicotine "As measured using a method that mimics actual smoking, the nicotine delivered per cigarette".  Here's the important part: cigarettes typically DELIVER 0.5-2.5mg nicotine/cigarette when smoked however they CONTAIN 15-25mg/cigarette.  A very important difference!Considering nicotines popularity & toxicity, the low occurrence rate of accidental deaths is stunning.  If you smoke or wear nicotine patches be aware that just ONE could KILL a curious child or even a foolish teenager.
