During her appearance on the show, Munn candidly described the event as “one of the grossest things” she ever did. She revealed that while staying at the Shangri-La in Vancouver, feeling exhausted, she decided to enjoy sushi from the hotel in the bathtub, alongside a relaxing soak.

As Munn recalled, “I needed to take a bath, and I also needed to eat. So I put the sushi next to the bathtub. And I had the bath going. And I got busy and I came back and I was in the bath and I started eating the sushi from the bath.”
Unfortunately, the unconventional dining choice took an unpleasant turn, with Munn suffering from food poisoning the following day. She recounted the embarrassing moment at the airport, where she had to deal with unexpected illness, making her rush to a nearby trash can to vomit.
Reflecting on the incident, Munn admitted that the sushi’s exposure to warm bathwater likely led to her food poisoning. Despite the mishap, she humorously added, “Sushi’s not supposed to be heated by bath water for sure,” emphasizing the unconventional nature of her dining mishap.
Amidst the laughter and cringing, Munn jokingly expressed her self-dismay for sharing the incident publicly, saying, “I hate myself for telling that story.” Nonetheless, she affirmed her love for baths as a relaxing and essential part of her routine, highlighting the importance of personal time for unwinding.
Despite the ordeal, Munn found humour in the situation and shared her continued appreciation for baths. Known for her candid storytelling, Munn’s anecdote serves as a reminder of the unexpected twists and turns that life can take, even in seemingly mundane moments.
