A five-year-old boy was very happy when he found what he believed was a free toy in his packet of Golden Puffs. But he soon discovered it was not a toy but a live snake. He ran screaming out of the kitchen.

Ananova: Boy finds live snake in cereal

A five-year-old boy reached into his breakfast cereal box - and came face to face with a live snake.

Jordan Willett, from Telford, thought he'd found a free toy in the box of Golden Puffs, reports the Shropshire Star.

But he ran out of the kitchen when the two foot long corn snake reared up its head.

Local Netto store manager Steven Humphries said he was shocked. An investigation has been launched.

Wow, imagine that. It´s early in the morning and you just want some breakfast, and a live snake suddenly comes crawling out of your breakfast cereal box...

That's flippin' hilarious.

I'd be even more excited for the free pet. Besides, you know that kid has a free life supply of Corn Pops now.

EDIT: By Corn Pops I mean Golden Puffs...

I think his Mom must have grabbed the wrong box at the store...Corn Snake instead of Corn Flakes.

Hey, that'd be awesome, I'd love to find that. Get me a new pet.

Gotta wonder in there, and how it liked the cereal. Guess if it didn't bite then it must have liked it!
