A frog in the lettuce

We used to live in Esperance on Western Australia’s south coast. It’s about eight hours drive from the capital, Perth, and quite isolated really. It’s quite a big town with all the facilities you could ask for, including a Coles supermarket. Coles is one of the big supermarket chains here.
Yesterday, a woman bought a sealed bag of lettuce and, when she opened it, found a small green frog in amongst the leaves. He was the same colour as the lettuce so would have been well-camouflaged, I guess. So now there is a big kerfuffle about how the frog came to be in the sealed bag. I wonder if we’ll ever by told.
I don’t have a photo of a frog but here is one of one of Esperance’s beautiful beaches.

thanks Judy did you eat the lettuce? Here in India if a frog is seen in any food, the food will be thrown off

I guess they thought it was a lettuce and sealed it inside, lol! I wonder if she screamed in shock, lol!

Pretty found a spider in a bag of prepared lettuce once. Now she shakes the bags several times, watching for anything that moves before she buys the lettuce.

It’s certainly better than finding a mouse, which I’ve seen reported too.
