At Least It Was All Natural

Crackerjack always packed their product with a "surprise" inside. That marketing approach is cathing on. Whole Foods had a "surprise" packed in with their imported bananas:

TULSA, Okla. — One of the most deadly spiders in the world has been found in the produce section of a Tulsa grocery store.

An employee of Whole Foods Market found the Brazilian Wandering Spider Sunday in bananas from Honduras and managed to catch it in a container.

The spider was given to University of Tulsa Animal Facilities director Terry Childs who says this type of spider kills more people than any other.

Childs says a bite will kill a person in about 25 minutes and while there is an antidote he doesn't know of any in the Tulsa area.

Spiders often are found in imported produce, and a manager at Whole Foods says the store regularly checks its goods and that's how the spider was found.

Maybe just a little pesticide would be a good thing.
