A woman has made a horrific discovery inside a Cadbury chocolate bunny she purchased for Easter.
At a time when many of us are still trying to get through our choccie hauls, Gold Coast local, Chy, got the shock of her life midway through eating her popular Cadbury bunny.
“I sat down, opened the bunny and started to eat the ears. I went to take another bite and felt what I thought was hair,” the woman told Kidspot.
“I turned on my video and flash in the lounge to look and thought I saw hair. Instantly, I wanted to vomit and started crying as I have huuuuge issues with foods already.”
Wait, that’s not a hair
The woman then took the bunny over to her ring light for closer inspection and that’s when things went from gross to totally mortifying.
“I saw what looked like webs and was so focused on trying to film those, I didn’t see what was in the bottom!” she shared.
“There was a live bug, worm, meal moth moving around, dead ones and what looked like droppings from them.”
To say she was disgusted is an understatement. Chy was so repulsed by her find, she spent a good time afterwards in the bathroom reliving the treat (no, not in a good way!)
“You can hear in the video my shock when I saw that. Straight after I put it down and spent half an hour over the toilet vomiting and then continuing to make myself vomit because I was so stressed, worried and disgusted,” she admitted.
A reminder to look INSIDE your easter treats!
But the claims of her experience being an isolated case hasn’t been enough for the Perth local, who says that while it might not be a Cadbury-specific issue, plenty of others have reached out to her with similar stories relating to hollow chocolate treats in general.
“I understand mistakes happen but I posted it in a Facebook group and over 20 other women had the same thing happen with their Easter choccies this year – from webs to mould to maggots in their chocolates!” she insisted.
While it will be a whole year before we head out to the shops for more Easter eggs, Chy wants to remind everyone to look inside their hollow eggs or bunnies in case the same thing can be found.
“I just hope it makes people aware and honestly, for the price of chocolate and general everything at the moment, consumers shouldn’t have to have this happen,” she insists.
