What would you do if you brought back more than just lettuce on your recent trip to pick up groceries from Aldi? Though it's common for people to find a small bug in their greens from time to time, a man in Sydney, Australia, returned from his regular trip to the grocery store with a bit more than that.
According
The Guardian, Alexander White found a small venomous snake in a bag of produce he had just brought home from the popular grocery chain. The scientifically named Hoplocephalus bitorquatus has a type of venom that the Australian Museum notes has the ability to "produce some unpleasant symptoms, including severe headache, blurred vision, localized pain, and abnormal bleeding." Ouch.
