I bought regular milk at the supermarket, but found a foreign object inside the bottle: I was horrified when I realized what it was 

This morning, as usual, I went to the nearby supermarket to buy some groceries for breakfast. Among other things, I grabbed a bottle of milk — just the usual kind, the same brand I always buy. I won’t mention the store or the brand name, because even thinking about it now makes me feel uneasy.

In the mornings, my kids love drinking a cup of warm milk before school — it’s become a little family ritual for us. That day, everything seemed normal: I put the kettle on, took out the mugs, and opened the new bottle.

And then I froze. Something glimmered inside the milk. At first, I thought it was just a reflection of light or an air bubble, but when I pulled the object out of the bottle, I was in shock as I realized what it was

Looking closer, I saw something long and metallic inside the bottle.

I carefully tilted the bottle and saw a sharp tip sticking out of the white liquid. My heart sank. There was a needle inside the milk. A simple sewing needle — but a rather large one.

I couldn’t recover for a while. My thoughts were racing: what if I hadn’t noticed it? What if the kids had poured themselves some milk and accidentally swallowed the needle? Just the thought made me feel sick.

I took the object out, rinsed it, and stared at it for a long time in disbelief. It couldn’t have been an accident — the packaging was sealed, the cap intact.

How it ended up there — that’s a mystery. A manufacturing error? Someone’s malicious act? I don’t know. But one thing’s for sure: after this incident, I’ll be ten times more careful, even with the most ordinary things.

Because sometimes danger hides exactly where you least expect it.
