A woman in China expecting a sweet treat instead got a surprise when what she thought was candy exploded in her mouth.
That’s because, as the South China Morning Post reports, what she had actually eaten was a firecracker.
The woman had mistaken the noise maker for a milk candy, blaming the similar packaging. While the incident didn’t cause any pain, it did cause bleeding, and the woman reported sensing the smell of gunpowder in her mouth.
Hopefully everyone recognizes that eating firecrackers is not a smart thing to do, and we don’t have another Tide Pod challenge on our hands.
