Lots of people reach for a healthy granola bar to help them get through the midday slump, but one woman found a very surprising pick-me-up when she opened her Nature Valley snack and found a packet of something special inside.
According to WFAA, Cynthia Rodriguez of San Antonio, Texas thought she may have won some kind of prize when the packet of white powder emblazoned with dollar signs fell out of the granola bar’s wrapper. But then she called Nature Valley, where a customer service representative suggested she call the police instead.
Rodriguez said an officer and a detective first tested the substance to see if it was heroin. The detective then tested it for cocaine.
“He tried for cocaine and they both looked at each other and he goes ‘oh my goodness, it’s high quality cocaine,'” said Rodriguez.
No one knows how the cocaine got into the wrapper, especially because Rodriguez says that the boxes of bars she got (from someone handing out free samples) didn’t look tampered with and the wrapper didn’t appear to have been opened before she got to it. Nature Valley claims that their granola bar assembly line moves too fast for someone to deliberately stash packets of coke in the wrappers, but WFAA reports that there’s some speculation that the bag fell out of someone’s pocket as they were packaging the bars. If that’s true, that person is probably very, very upset.
