Family Finds Free Gift in Sealed Spinach Package: Live Frog!
In a shocking discovery, a family from Michigan has found a new, extra ingredient in their sealed spinach package that they didn’t order. And the ingredient was not any ordinary spice, but a live frog!
No, you did not read it wrong. A frog. In a spinach package. Who would have imagined that the latest trend in healthy eating would include a side of live amphibians?
The family, who wishes to remain anonymous, stumbled upon this shocking revelation when they were preparing a fresh batch of salad. The mother, who had already been fretting about her picky eaters, couldn’t believe her eyes when she found the uninvited houseguest of the spinach package among the fresh leaves.
“I always thought spinach had all the vitamins and minerals necessary for a healthy diet, but now I guess it’s just missing a serving of frog,” said the mother, who was probably not expecting to have to teach her kids how to share a plate with a live animal.
When contacted, the company responsible for packaging the spinach replied with the statement, “Oops, our bad.”
The frog, however, declined to give a statement, preferring to hop off to some other produce aisle where hopefully the chances of being included as a free gift with purchase were next to zero. We can only imagine the thoughts that might have been racing through its mind as it desperately searched for a new hideout and contemplated the irony of being dropped into a package that’s supposed to harbor predominantly vegetarian options.
While one must admit, the idea seems innovative in terms of ingesting a diverse range of proteins, the question arises: is it even safe? Even if the frog had never polluted the spinach with its pee, pollution is always around us- perhaps we should have questioned the safety standards. But the more important question is – what will be the future trends in progressive dining? Will we be seeing organic, free-range tadpoles swimming among our iceberg salads and bean sprouts?
This incident opens up a new realm of business opportunities in the food industry- who knows, maybe now it is common to expect similar surprises in your packaged leafy greens as well as with your shampoo, or your shoes or your… well, anything.
This event has left people questioning what else might be hiding in their food, but perhaps it has also given us a new way to get in touch with real nature. So, maybe the future holds a wide range of new delicacies, from centipedes to earthworms and maybe even flying insects. Who knows? The grocery store may soon become a foodie’s paradise for the weird, the wacky and the whimsical. In the meantime, however, it may be advisable to scrutinize the contents of the salad bowl just a little more closely.
