A US man who bought a pack of 18 beer bottles for a party was shocked to discover an unwanted item inside the case - a dead snake!
Marcus Forson, from Houston, thought his wife was playing a practical joke on him when he found a smelly, cold dead snake in the party pack of beer he purchased.
"I thought she was playing a joke on me and she had it inside the box," Forson told local station KTRK.
"When I first opened the box, his head was in between my fingers, and I didn't know what it was at first," Forson said.
The small snake had died after apparently slinking around inside the box.
"There's no way I was going to drink the beer. It stunk bad. The snake was dead. The snake was ice cold. It's kind of shrunk up and the eyes are missing out of it," Forson said.
Since no one was harmed, Forson slipped the snake into a bag and had an interesting item to show to his guests.
Forson said it was lucky that the reptile wasn't alive so it could not come out of the box and bite anybody.
He said the whole thing was "entertaining."
Forson said he contacted the makers of Bud Light, who told him they would send him a refund.
