This Dead Bat Found In A Box Of Rice Krispies Might Make You Swear Off Cereal For Good

Oh, to be a kid again, opening your favorite box of cereal and finding a cool plastic toy inside. Hot Wheels, special spoons that change color when dipped in milk. Those sweet, sweet Saturday morning memories. Now it’s urine and bats that await you, as one Scotland woman regrettably found out.

Sehr Rafique got the disgusting, gross, yucky shock of her life when she poured out a bowl of Rice Krispies cereal last Sunday and was greeted with a dead bat. The 17-year-old instinctively “screamed the house down” when she found the shriveled-up, rodent-like creature in her bowl of now-tainted cereal. “I am scared of spiders as it is, so this terrified me. I have never seen a bat up close, never mind one which I almost ate,” Sehr told the Daily Record of her icky discovery.

And now the most important meal of the day may have been eternally ruined because of Kellogg’s quality control. Sher says the dead bat has made it impossible for her family to enjoy a nice bowl of breakfast cereal again, which sucks because they still have several unopened cereal boxes in their pantry. “All our family eat cereal for breakfast, but have been unable to do so after finding the bat.” As one might imagine.

A call to Kellogg’s resulted in the family getting a voucher for some bat-free cereal. They were also told to send their tainted box and dead bat to Kellogg’s so they can figure out just how the hell a bat got in there anyway since adding bats to cereal doesn’t appear in their rule book. According to a spokesman for the food giant, Kellogg’s “adheres to very strict food safety rules that ensure our products are of the highest quality.”

This is the second time in three months Rice Krispies has made consumers want to hurl. Earlier this year a video of a suspected worker urinating all over a Kellogg’s conveyor belt went viral.
