Pro tip: If you have food that is covered in ants, just eat the ants. They're usually safe to ingest, and there are no adverse effects other than a strong urge to puke, because it's so fucking gross when I can feel the ants in my mouth. My fucking god, this was a mistake.

Maybe in the fallout universe due to scarcity of food but not wanting to eat ants
