Sometimes, life can be full of surprises.
But have you ever seen anything as shocking as seeing a live rodent taking up residence in one of your purchases?
Case in point: One Woolworths shopper found out the hard way that popular buys can come with their own set of surprises!
This wild tale begins with the unsuspecting shopper from Melbourne, Australia, who picked up a packet of wraps from Woolworths Southbank store.
Everything seemed normal until the customer noticed that something was amiss.
What could it be?
Lo and behold, the shopper captured footage of a live rodent nestled inside the packet of wraps and shared it on social media under the handle @1skywalker__.
The video has since gone viral, amassing more than half a million views and thousands of stunned comments from online users.
The customer appeared to have already placed the wraps into the basket when they spotted the mouse blinking and twitching inside the bag. It must have been quite a shock!
A Woolworths spokesperson told reporters that the supermarket is investigating the incident.
They stated: ‘We take food safety seriously and work closely with pest control services. We’re not aware of any further reports of a similar nature at this time and apologise for this customer experience.’
It is believed that Woolworths Southbank has a range of measures to deter rodents.
Following this incident, the supermarket giant conducted a thorough inspection of the store and engaged pest control services.
Internet users shared a mix of shock and amusement over the video.
‘Unexpected item in the bagging area,’ one quipped.
Another joked: ‘Woolworths food now comes with pets.’
‘Give it to the cashier to scan,’ one replied.
‘I call that extra value,’ someone else stated.
While another social media user responded: ‘It’s in there for the leftovers and crumbs, so nothing goes to waste.’
Others expressed genuine concern, with a user writing: ‘Please tell me you let it out of the bag outside.’
But perhaps the most relatable response was: ‘Oh h*** no.’

When shopping, remember to double-check your groceries. It's always better to be safe than sorry when welcoming unexpected guests into your home – especially the furry kind!
