years ago found a caterpillar or ??? something in Green Giant peas- I didn't eat that brand for many months. When I finally tried again - guess what - yep ANOTHER - just the same looked like a bunch of peas strung together. What are the odds of that? To this day I never buy their peas again.
As for the worm in the coke bottle- one of their reps came and collected it. Never heard from them. But I switched brands of pop. The glass shards in the Bumble Bee solid white albacore tuna - they said were salt from the processing . Whatever, crunching down on something hard and sharp were not appetizing. In later years the solid white that my mom paid for turned into mushy pink, or even some parts blood red. They told my mother the term "white" tuna encompassed pink to almost red. WHAT???? They never did find an explanation for solid tuna that was pre mashed in the can.
So many wonderful food experiences, the white thin worms on my brother's just opened Nestle white chocolate bar, he tried again months later to find the same result. Most likely because of old product in Walgreens much too long. Also a big bag of mixed nuts, in the shell, that contained a large spider web complete with little dead bugs in it. We did return that and didn't go back to that store.
Twice we got big caterpillars or something similar in Meijer's brand Macaroni and cheese. Didn't have a clue till the boiling brought the critter to the top. My son stopped eating Mac & cheese. I fortunately never wanted any.
Gee generations of bad food - stored wrong, old stock, unsanitary store conditions etc. Obviously I've been able to find enough food without surprise quests, to blow up into a quite "fluffy" personage. I do pour things out on a paper plate and inspect closely before I will add to the pot or other ingredients.
