<human>: Pretty much for my entire life, since I was a child I've loved bologna. One of my favorite things was always a peanut butter & bologna sandwich. However much I loved the taste of bologna though, I always dreaded eating the red band around the bologna. I thought it was a part of the bologna! Nobody ever told me that it wasn't, sadly. Every time I would eat it, also, I would soon thereafter have stomach pains. But I loved the taste so much, so that was an okay tradeoff I guess.

Anyways, I'm 25 now, and a few weeks ago I was making me one of my beloved PB&J + Bologna sandwiches within presence of a friend of mine. After making it, they're like, "What the hell? You eat the plastic?" And I was stunned. I was like, what the hell are you talking about? They told me that it was plastic around the bologna and not to eat it. I removed it, and was absolutely amazed at how much better it tasted. Ever since, I can actually eat bologna without the stomach aches that accompany it. I feel embarrassed that I didn't learn this until a quarter of a century of my life. I had to share, because stupidity sells.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Didn't know the red stuff was plastic, have been eating it, dealing with stomach problems. Learned it wasn't, love bologna even better now.
