It all started when writer, comedian, producer, and podcast host Jensen Karp opened up his Cinnamon Toast Crunch breakfast cereal. Aside from the cereal, he says he found a couple of shrimp tails… and tweeted photographic proof to General Mills.
A tweeted response offered an apology, and an offer to replace the box. Oddly, though, there was a follow-up response saying that what was really in the picture was the “accumulation of the cinnamon sugar,” and there’s no way there were really shrimp tails in the cereal.
That led Karp to inspect the box more thoroughly, where he not only found more shrimp tails, but a black substance he suspects might be rat poop on some of the cereal. Then, his wife looked into the other package in the “family pack”…and saw what they both though looked like…dental floss.
