Just think of it as a complimentary bonus

It’s hard enough as it is to get the kids to eat their salad. But Tracy Grimes will have an even tougher time getting her 4 and 8 year-old kids to nibble their greens after she found a tree frog in a bag of romaine lettuce she bought from a Kroger supermarket in Michigan recently.

Grimes decided to keep the frog (still in the bag of lettuce, mind you) for three days in the garage, stored in a paper bag. While the children wanted to keep the frog as a pet, the family released it into their backyard. Kroger spokesman Dale Hollandsworth offered the Grimes family an apology and said the store would replace the romaine lettuce. He offered his backyard pond as a potential home for the frog.

We here at SG can only hope that the backyard pond is full of acid. Stop trying to infiltrate our food, animals! We’ll eat you when we’re good and ready!
