LONDON (Reuters) - A British boy sitting down to breakfast had a nasty surprise when he discovered a two-foot long snake inside his box of cereal.

Jordan Willett, 5, thought he had found a toy when the serpent -- a harmless corn snake -- slithered out of the packet of "Golden Puffs" his parents had bought from discount store Netto in Telford, central England.

"It was quite long and popped its head up. I've seen snakes on TV before but never in a box of cereal," he told the Daily Mail newspaper.

Netto said Wednesday it was talking to its suppliers to review procedures and check on its stock.

"This does seem to be a bizarre incident but we are treating it seriously," said Netto trading director Clive Cooper.

Corn snakes, which feed on mice and birds, are commonly kept as pets. http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?storyID=2005-05-04T155800Z_01_L04297590_RTRIDST_0_ODD-SNAKE-DC.XML

Mint? Salt? Indian vinegar? Yes, all that and more go into the pot when yer makin' snake jelly! Just cut off the head and skin, take out the intestines, cut into 1" pieces and you're on your way. Simmer over hot coals and let set and you're eatin' Colonel Kurtz style! Good with red wine.

A two foot serpent you say? Must feed a family of four.

I wonder if his mother/father let him keep it? One brother had a pet snake. Luckily he had to keep the thing penned up or Sparky, my cat would have had it for supper.

I was talking to a friend of mine who works for Kelloggs in Manchester (no they don't make the cereal). He says that there is no way the snake could have got in there dufring the manufacturing process, unless the manufacturing plant lacked all kinds of controls. For one thing the box would be grossly overweight and would or should have been rejected. Then again most of the products sold by that particulare store are manufactered "off-shore", so who knows. :conspire:

EXACTAMUNDO!!!

If you handed me a box of cereal, and there was a 2 foot snake inside of it... I'd be able to tell you that something was terribly wrong BEFORE I ever opened the box and let the thing come jumping out at me.

Great example on why to shed out the extra $$$ and buy Golden Crisp instead of 'Golden Puffs'.

Maybe go out and dig up some dead person cut off a body part and stick it in your cereal box. get rich off it. :nod:

Then you could buy every trivia book on the market and be the all time trivia champ :thumb:


This is almost as bad as the alien finger from outer space found in a bag of fritos years back.
