In this video, we take a look at the ten most disturbing items found in food and drink products,
including delicious maggots, bloody Band Aids and a whole bunch of thoroughly unsatisfied customers.
A Lousy Can of Tuna
When British woman Zoe Butler opened a convenient
can of tasty tuna, ready to gobble down on a quick meal, she was alarmed to find a tiny
pair of eyes staring up at her.
The can, bought from her local supermarket in Nottingham, contained a weird little creature
of mini proportions, which she at first thought to be an intestine or a stomach before pushing
it around with a fork.
Reflecting with horror on the incident, she told journalists "I dropped the fork, jumped
back, screamed a bit and shouted for my nan to come and have a look."
Some experts have speculated that the creature may have been a tongue-eating louse, which
could have entered the tuna through its gills before then munching on its tongue.
Yummy.
Others guess that it might be some form of young crab.
The opinion of Zoe's nan remains unknown.
A Crusty Shock
When New York man Ken Wieczerza ordered a
tasty takeout from Pizza Hut, his portion was so big that he couldn't finish it all
in one day.
So like any frugal food lover, he kept some leftovers and saved them for a quick lunch
the following afternoon.
When the next day came, after chomping though pepperoni, peppers and some chewy cheese,
his teeth then encountered something a little more unusual - a 3-inch Band Aid baked right
into the crust of his salty snack.
The bright blue strip was marked with what seemed to be little droplets of dried blood.
When he contacted the Pizza Hut branch from where he bought his pizza, scared that he
might have contacted a blood-borne illness, they refused to accept responsibility for
the extra topping.
After the incident, he told journalists "It felt kind of like biting into a folded-up
piece of plastic.
I can't think of anything more disgusting than chewing on a bandage, other than a body
part.
Fortunately, I didn't swallow it."
Lucky for him.
Headless Chicken
If you're in the mood for something quick, greasy and delicious, you might make your
way to a fast food joint and get something speedy to chow down on.
When Montpellier man Mounir Bessaih wanted to do just that, he went to a branch of French
restaurant Quick and ordered a bunch of chicken wings.
While all of the items in his order were of a similar shape and size, one of them was
slightly - and unfortunately - a little different - this special surprise was an entire chicken
head, deep fried, complete with eyes and beak.
While some cultures might consider this a delicacy, Mounir of course wasn't so delighted.
Speaking after the incident, he stated 'I almost bit into it - I thought it was a bone.
They offered me free meals, but even if they are free, I don't plan to go back.'
Spider Surprise
When Virginia's Kiersta Rhea was watching her young son eat a banana, she spotted something
which she wasn't expecting.
Emerging from the banana was a gooey spider, all caked in ooze, crawling across the table,
making his soggy escape.
In a Facebook post written just after the arachnid ordeal, she detailed what had happened,
and how it had terrified her and her son.
The post reads 'One of my fears just came true!!!
My son was eating his banana (that he enjoys peeling himself) and he screams and throws
the almost fully eaten banana!!!
Next thing you know, I see legs crawling across my table and some sort of sac on the end of
the banana!!'
In the video which she recorded, the spider can be seen dragging its banana booty, accompanied
by the fitting soundtrack of worried whimpers from her son.
Kiersta later claimed that the leggy situation was 'absolutely terrifying' not only because
she's petrified of spiders, but because the situation could have ended very badly, possibly
even deadly,' she said, also claiming 'Thank God it had banana on top of it making it move
slowly so I could control the situation and kill it.
Maggoty Meat Feast
Another unlucky man who fell victim to the perils of convenience pizza was a Brit who,
eager for a quick meal, took his Tesco pizza out of the refrigerator.. only to find it
covered in maggots, all crawling around and relishing the exciting opportunity of a free
pizza buffet.
The details of the incident are unknown, but the video speaks for itself.
Milk Teeth
Picture the scene.
It's New Year's Day.
You're an elderly lady from Texas, on your way, along with your husband, to pick up a
new tractor.
You decide to treat yourself to a Coke and a Milky Way.
So far, so good.
Then you bite into your Milky Way to find something hard.
Maybe it's a peanut.
But, wait, Milky Way bars don't have peanuts.
So what's the crunchy surprise?
Sue Calhoun knows how the story ends.
When this exact situation happened to her, she discovered a human tooth baked right into
her candy bar, complete with a silver filling for added decoration.
Speaking about the incident, she said "Every time I think about it, I kind of get sick
to my stomach because I don't know what kind of mouth it come out of."
Mars - the maker of Milky Way - then offered her an apology letter along with coupons for
free candy bars.
Perfect for getting her teeth stuck into.
Chicken and Stuffing
Bernadette Balanco was keen for a meaty meal
when she dropped into her local Melbourne branch of Coles to pick up a whole chicken.
She took it home and cut into it, before unfortunately making a disgusting discovery.
Inside the chicken wasn't the promise of a protein-packed meal, but rather a big old
bunch of worms and maggots.
Ms Balanco claims that she immediately returned to Coles to - unsurprisingly - give back the
unappetizing offender.
According to her recollection of the incident, the employee who dealt with her ''didn't seem
very concerned'' about the added ingredients.
''The store assistant didn't even want to look at the chicken and simply threw the chicken
in the bin and refunded me,'' she said.
So much for customer service.
Baiada Poultry, who produced the chicken, said that they suspected the creepy creatures
are grains, and not maggots.
''We are currently investigating the post.
The image appears to show grains,'' they said.
We're not so sure.
Cocopus
New York resident Barbara Kline is - or was - an avid fan of coconut water, claiming ''it's
all I drink'' - until she made a dodgy discovery in her Vita Coco.
"When I took a big gulp, I swallowed a chunk of something," she said.
"It tasted very thick and syrupy.
It was disgusting."
She then checked to see if she'd accidentally bought a different flavour or an unusual variety
- but when she realised that she hadn't, further exploration was required.
"After I opened it up, I heard things jiggling inside," she said.
"And I thought, 'That doesn't sound right.
I took a knife and opened it up and that's when I discovered those octopus-looking things,'
one of which she had swallowed.
She claims that she then immediately vomited.
She also told reporters that she had experienced diarrhoea and an asthma attack since the torrid
events.
The Vita Coco company have since claimed that the mysterious addition is simply mould, and
that there's no cause for concern, though Kline is intent on suing the company for damaging
her health.
She told reporters ''I know there is some type of animal in there.
I've got a told it look like a mouse, I got told it looks like a squid, I got told it
looks like a bunch of things that's why I would like for somebody to get it tested for
me that has more authority than me.''
The results of any expert testing remain unknown.
Coke in a Web
UK resident Amanda Barr bought a three-litre
bottle of Coke from her local supermarket in Eastbourne, keen for a syrupy solution
to her thirst.
When her partner dutifully poured her a serving of the sugary drink, they found a creepy critter
floating around the top of the glass.
Amanda said: "Steve came back from the kitchen with two glasses and said to me that I probably
wouldn't want to drink it."
Steve's speculation proved to be correct.
The floating intruder was a spider, and looked like nothing native to the UK, which left
the couple assuming that it must have been bottled along with the beverage.
A spokesman for Coke told reporters "We can understand the distress this incident must
have caused.
That's why we have arranged to collect the bottle and spider from her so that we can
investigate thoroughly this complaint."
The spider was unable to be resuscitated.
Syringilicious
Australian father Peter Oakley was in the
mood for a sweet treat, so he bought himself a white chocolate Cadbury Dream bunny to satiate
his cravings.
Eager to unwrap his delectable delight, he cracked into the bunny to find an unexpected
little gift stowed away inside the bounty.
This horrible little surprise came in the form of a used syringe.
Peter, who wasn't in need of such a quick fix, took to the internet to comment on his
situation.
"Keep your eyes out before giving choc rabbits to friends or kids," he wrote.
"Hopefully the d head that did this did it only once as a joke.
Will be reporting this tomorrow.
I find this terrifying, it might be the only one or it could be inside many.
Lucky it was just us adults around the table, it could have been a child."
According to Peter, it seems that someone unwrapped the foil, poked the syringe through,
then sneakily folded the foil neatly back into place.
Certainly less innocent than the contents of a Kinder Egg.
Which item do you think was the most disturbing?
