Beware Of The Kellogg’s Sip Up Bowls

So last night I had a craving, a craved something sweet like a nice Twix or a bag of malteasers but I hadn’t done a food shop in a week and my supplies were low so I decided to make myself some coco pops (you’re never too old) anyways I thought I’d use my daughters special bowl so I could suck all the chocolate milky goodness.

Ok now this is where my happiness ended, no sweet release, no enjoyable chocolately goodness but along came distress, horror and a grown woman screaming in the kitchen in her very old, worn out but ever so comfy dressing gown.

Just as I was about to pour in my coco pops I see something black sticking out of the built in straw.

Ok don’t panic it’s probably an eye lash!!!

Nope nope nopedy nope it’s an 8 legged mafia looking spider 🕷.

Let’s just say I’m traumatized I could have sucked on a spider.

My daughter no longer has her favourite bowl as it was launched out of the back door, ok I could go in the garden and retrieve it but it can stay there, until one of the kids is brave enough to see if mafia spider has moved out and started a little family in the garden where they belong.

Now I’m sat here eating a bloody apple. 🍎

I’m super paranoid now, checking in the toilet roll insert, looking in glasses, shoes, mugs and even checking under tea spoons, so to all mummies out there with a spider phobia rinse the straw under the ap before use.
