C h a n t e l S c o t t on Instagram: “The now famous frog in
the lettuce I found at Sobeys in London Ontario! UPDATE: I handed
the mixed salad to an employee who took it to the manager. I
asked employees if they were releasing the frog and they said yes
after they file a report they would release it to the local pond
up the street. (Someone also commented on TikTok that the manager
has a terrarium for it so idk what happened sobeys manager only
knows!)”
