I never got gifts like this free with my cereal:
A two-foot snake found its way into a packet of breakfast cereal, it emerged today. Five-year-old Jordan Willett, from Dawley, Shropshire, discovered the live reptile inside his box of Golden Puffs on Bank Holiday Monday. His mother Theresa, who was having breakfast with her son at the time, said she initially thought it was a free gift for children. Describing the incident, the 23-year-old said: “My lad, he went to open his cereal and luckily enough I was behind him because a snake popped out."
For heaven's sakes, it was a corn snake (and for you wits out there, no, that's not because it was a corn-based cereal). They're gentle, non-venomous, and make excellent pets. I have to buy my pet snakes, and pay shipping (which is high) for them. Why don't these sorts of surprises ever go to the people who would appreciate them?
Hmph.
