A woman in Charleston, South Carolina, said she recently got the shock of her life when she found that the energy drink she purchased contained more than just the drink itself. She shared a video on TikTok, which has now gone viral, of what appeared to be a dead mouse lodged at the bottom of her can.
According to her, she had already consumed roughly three-fourths of the Alani energy drink before realizing something was wrong. She said she noticed the can still felt unusually heavy even though she had drunk that much and decided to pour out the remaining liquid. “I’m pouring it out, and I’m like, why does it feel like there’s still so much in it?” she said. “I feel a little thud.”
The woman claimed she later looked inside and found a small mouse lying dead in the can. “I’m disgusted by myself,” she said in the video, looking visibly shaken. “I’m gonna go throw up in the bathroom… Oh, my gosh.” She also insisted that the contamination did not happen after purchase.
Internet Reacts to South Carolina Woman’s Shocking Discovery
On TikTok, the clip has since surpassed 2 million views and gained more than 400,000 likes. Many netizens have expressed concern over both the alleged contamination and the woman’s health.
Some people urged the woman to seek immediate medical attention. “Please go to the ER. Now. Tell them show them,” one person wrote. Another said, “Girlie, you should call the health department just to make sure you’re OK after drinking it 😬.” A third encouraged her to “call a lawyer. Call the mayor. Call 911,” and added, “That is so wild. I’m so sorry!”
Others said they were disgusted by the thought of finding a dead animal inside their drinks. “I would mentally never be able to drink from a can again 😭,” one comment read. Someone else chimed in, “I would be throwing up for 27 days.” One netizen also worried about contracting a rodent-borne disease. “That’s how we’re all gonna get the hantavirus,” they wrote.
In the comments section under her post, the South Carolina woman mentioned that she has contacted poison control. However, it remains unclear whether poison control or any relevant health authorities have responded to the allegation.
