A woman in New York bought some local cookies and planned to eat them with friends. However, one of them bit into one of the cookies, and not only did she taste metal, but also felt it in her teeth. Then, they found a whole metal piece inside the sweet snack.
Adelise Egan, also known as Adey, shared the surprise cookie filling on TikTok. The clip attached above became one of her biggest ever, garnering 1.6 million views, 58,000 likes, and more than 1,700 comments.
The video started with universal freaking out from all the New York women shown and heard in it. One of Adey’s friends had bitten into the half-cookie, half-metal hybrid. And in the middle of nervous laughter, Adey said that her friend’s tooth had been broken. Her friend just laughed, smiled, and nodded, although they later clarified that she almost did.
Once the emotions had settled down, Adey explained what had happened before the bite. They had purchased some oatmeal and raisin cookies from DeCicco & Sons, a family-owned, premium New York chain of grocery stores.
Extremely confused by the metallic invasion, the women decided to dig deeper and crumbled the cookie to unveil the mysterious item. First, though, they took a photo of the cookie evidence before unearthing the teeth-shattering MacGuffin.
Turns out, the cookied-up piece was a $2 lifting eye bolt, as shown in a screenshot of an eBay listing later shared by the New York woman.
Reactions
The video sparked mulitple responses, with many viewers matching the women’s reaction to the metal-bolt-meeks-cookie clip. One said, “Proving once again that RAISINS ARE EVIL!” Another one commented, “Y’all laughing too much. I would’ve said I broke my tooth and sued.”
And, precisely, that’s what other viewers suggested the women do. One wrote, “Call a lawyer. Save the evidence.” Another one added, “Save it. Take pictures next to a ruler. Call and report it to the company.”
Adey has not posted since, so whether she plans on taking action for the cookie in question is unknown. DeCicco & Sons has yet to issue a response, too.
