by Last Sunday, I followed my usual shopping routine—fresh veggies, label checks, nothing out of the ordinary.
The next morning, craving something sweet, I opened a sealed pack of strawberries… and froze. Among the glossy red berries was something thin—and moving.
A closer look revealed it was a small, harmless snake. I was stunned.
The supermarket quickly removed the batch, but the shock lingered.
The strawberries looked perfect—yet danger hid in plain sight.
Lesson learned: appearances deceive.
So next time you reach for that fruit bowl, pause…
Because sometimes, sweetness comes with a slither.
