Man’s Horrifying Discovery Inside Bag Store Bought Broccoli
A man went to a supermarket for groceries and unknowingly came home with an unexpected guest—a snake! He didn’t realize it until after the reptile made itself comfortable among his food.
Last month, 63-year-old Neville Linton bought a bag of broccoli from an Aldi store in Stourbridge, England, and stored it in his fridge. Three days later, while preparing his meal, he was in for a surprise when he unwrapped the broccoli.
To his shock, he found a snake nestled among the vegetables. The snake, which had likely been exploring a broccoli field in southwestern Europe, was accidentally packed with the produce and shipped to the UK.
Neville, who works in industrial cleaning, couldn’t believe his eyes. “It was pretty frightening. I’m not good with snakes,” he admitted. “It’s lucky I didn’t leave the broccoli out in the kitchen, or it would’ve been loose in the house.”
