A woman went on her usual shopping trip to the Lidl chain. She bought many groceries including sweet yellow bananas, which she had liked very much until that day. The woman came home and after eating the first banana she experienced a huge shock. From now on she won’t want bananas anymore and now refuses to step into that store.
Lidl
This is not the first time Lidl has dealt with a scandal concerning goods offered on the store’s shelves.
This time, however, it is a somewhat unusual problem. It is not about adulterated goods, but about goods that, on the contrary, contained something extra.
Bananas
The woman eagerly started on the sweet bananas at home, but as soon as she began to eat the first one she discovered that something was crunching strangely inside the banana.
She looked at the banana more closely and found that it was full of strange brown pellets. After a while she realized that they were spider eggs that had been laid in the banana.
After discovering this, the customer felt very ill and began to vomit. Her friend suggested that he take her to the hospital, but she refused because of her six children. She couldn’t leave them at home alone.
The woman feared that the eggs she had swallowed would hatch in her stomach!
Doctors therefore came to the woman’s home and examined her. The doctors reassured the woman that hatching is impossible because stomach acids destroy most eggs.
The word “most” greatly frightened the customer and she still suffers from the fear that spiders might nevertheless start to hatch in her stomach.
