Redditor SandpaperThoughts thought he was biting into a simple chocolate bar with some crunchy peanuts; turns out the “crunch” he was expecting came not from the peanuts baked into the bar, but from worms that had slithered their way onto the assembly line. This happened not just once, but with nine different bars that were shipped to his house.
If this were an isolated incident, maybe it could be chalked up to a simple happenstance. Other redditors, however, chimed in with their own experience eating chocolate coated worm bars. Nord_vegr wrote, “I know someone who worked in a chocolate factory, and she told me that she never ate chocolate with nuts in it, because as she said: “upon inspection, when it came to nuts, we never asked whether there might be worms, the question was the amount.” That’s enough to make your skin crawl.
SandpaperThoughts rightly contacted the manufacturer about his unintentional “extra-protein” snack, and fortunately the company fessed up to some “possible” instances that could have caused it: “The store didn’t store chocolate in proper conditions and that a certain species of a butterfly ha[d the] ability of poking microscopic holes in [the] chocolate wrapper.” Unsurprisingly though, the replacement package of chocolate SandpaperThoughts received did not contain any bit of chocolate inside. Just a friendly reminder to check twice before biting into your next chocolate treat.
