Ravers Are Sharing the Most "Unhinged" Items They've Snuck Into Shows

A new Reddit thread is documenting a familiar part of our beloved rave culture: the bizarre things people somehow bring through security.Anyone who has spent enough time at festivals and raves knows the dancefloor is a magnet for strange objects and even stranger stories.

A new thread on the r/aves subreddit is reminding everyone just how creative EDM crowds can get after asking a simple question: “What is the most unhinged item you’ve snuck into a show?” Food is a recurring theme.One user claimed they once brought a Ziploc bag of spaghetti into a Spag Heddy show.

Another recalled someone sneaking an entire Costco chicken into North Coast Festival.There’s also mentions of a Buc-ee’s brisket sandwich, an entire loaf of banana bread and live oysters on ice, which the commenter said they shucked themselves.

The thread only gets weirder from there.One person claimed to have seen a “wheelbarrow lined with aluminum foil, filled to the brim with poutine” at Shambhala.

Another said they met a guy who brought in a whole pineapple, which the crowd allegedly danced around and worshipped before eventually “sacrificing” it during the headlining set.One raver said they snuck a bag of onions into last year’s edition of EDC Orlando, added googly eyes and faces, then handed them out to strangers in the crowd.

Elsewhere in the replies, someone claimed they had seen a fiddler crab in a tank.None of this will surprise anyone who has spent enough time at EDM festivals.

While Reddit is often filled with controversies and conspiracy theories, wholesome threads like this have emerged before, like when ravers shared stories about the nicest artists they had ever met.Of course, these recounted experiences should not be read as a practical guide to festival security.

Most venues have rules for a reason and sneaking in food, animals or large quantities of anything is generally not the smartest way to start a night.Scroll to continue more from ...
