I'd be scared.
I think we need a subforum in Complaints Corner called First World Complaints.
But please don't move this to Forum Support!
Or he/she has been eaten by one of those spiders that hide in lettuces and resist magnetic detection.
I found a little caterpillar in my Kelloggs Special K cereal. The odd thing was, the caterpillar itself looked like a little Special K.
This was more than a year ago. It is hard to say if I am still traumatised, but I must admit I look more closely at my Special K than I used to, in case I see looking up at me.
You're such a wimp, cringing at a spider. I got an earwig in my celery, and everyone knows they're much grosser than spiders.
I wouldn't worry. Spider's are not normally overly obsessed with entymology.
It was the half caterpillar I found in my brocolli that bothered me.
What happened to the spider ???
Is she still alive? Is she going to be on the cover of the next Nature sharing protagonism with the Higgs boson? I am sure millions of entomologists would rejoice to see the a newly found a spider that belong to the Insecta.
Still, I worry about the fate of the spider...
I once found a maggot in a Migros Bio yoghurt. Have to say I have never bought that brand ever again
Spiders hiding in the broccoli are quite common - I once boiled one....
Concerning the title of the thread: I've bought packed vegetable of various kinds many times. I practically always found a species or even two or three in those bags. Seems to be very common in this banana republic called Swiss.
Just last week I bought a wrapped cauliflower. Believe it or not, I found a big fat specimen of Brassica oleracea in the package. This week, in a bag of green beans, I found (sit down before you read this!) about 70 (SEVENTY!!!) specimens of Phaseolus vulgaris, all of them in full state of pregnancy (or whatever you call that). No kidding!
I could compile a huge list of such shocking finds. And the people at the stores do not even apologize, let alone give me chocolate. They just laugh at me and wisper to one another, "Oh no, it's him again!"
Now this is Swiss customer service as we know it. Of course, if I were in the USA, I'd sue the heck out of any grocer that sells me tomatoes full of Solanum lycopersicum, which obviously is illegal over there, but here no one seems to care. Even Swiss lawyers make fun of me too.
If it's not the Swiss it's spiders!
I suppose it could be considered a welcome change.
