LIVE cockroach in Futurelife cereal

You leave your pap un-sealed in the box in your cupboard? :oops: Ever heard of Tupperware?

Unfortunately I'm with them on this one - 50/50 chance between it getting in at the factory or in your house.

And saying "I've never seen a cockroach in my home" is like saying "I've never died before" - there's always a first time.

Well we also don't seal it in Tupperware as that's just unnecessary but it is tightly closed so no easy way for a roach to navigate its way in there and we've had quite a couple of roaches lately. Many people however aren't very particular and will just give it a fold and let it slide back in.

Couldn't believe my eyes when I found a sizeable and very much alive cockroach in a box of future life I bought in this week.

Unfortunately I had a 2 - 3 large servings before I uncovered the roach.. and no, it couldn't have crept in there because I've never seen this species of roach before in my house let alone area AND I make sure to close the box after and put it back in the cupboard when I'm done. It was pretty deep in there too...

Just a serious PSA to everyone. I for one am never touching future life ever again in my life!

What recourse do I have here guys?
Please don't troll.. Should I make a big deal out of this? //cloud.tapatalk.com/s/5bd4e75178450/VID_20181027_235247.mp4

That cockroach was probably the least vile thing in that box. Futurelife tastes horrible.
 
Just to point out the OP is wrong it's physically impossible to have found a live roach inside the packet it self, considering the packet doesn't contain air and would have likely been produced several weeks before, if there was any air in the packet the roach would have suffocated long ago, period.

The fact is there is no oxygen in the packet, period.They use nitrogen gas to make packets puffy, just like simba chips.
Which means there is physically no way a roach would have survived PERIOD. Even if the packet was compromised there are quality controls in place that check that packets aren't leaking.


So op whether you like it or not you have roaches.

Cockroaches have a scatter instinct whenever see light. When the OP opened the bag he would of introduced light into the bag and would of caused the roach to make a break for it.
But what instead happened was the OP was able to pour out his future life and consume it. Even if the roach tried to escape by running further in the bag it most likely would of fell out.

Whats the chances of having cockroaches in your kitchen, for the average household really high, more than likely. What's the chances of having cockroaches in your kitchen when you don't open food packets into containers like the OP did: magnitudes of times higher.

Nope not making ANY assumptions, it's a fact. Air is very reactive, and would oxidize readily with the contents of the packet making it stale.It takes several weeks before that product might make it to your cupboard.It would be extremely rare to get a product like that within a week or two of production.

He would have immediately noticed is has gone stale.
The hole in the packet needed to be significant to allow a roach entry, which also means that the contents of the packet would have leaked out into the box.
Considering packing gas is used most likely nitrogen gas as it's extremely stable and none reactive.
Quality control checks each and every bag.
Additionally the product is devoid of moisture, roaches need drinking water, it can live without food for a month but only a week without water.
Even if there was an egg in the packet it takes 36 days or so to be fully grown, without water it still would have died LONG before reaching that size and maturity.

Fact of the matter is whether or not the packet was compromised, under no circumstances would you have found a live roach inside the packet, lack of air and lack of drinking water, is conducive and hostile enviroment to the roach regardless of how hardy they are.

You can take that to the bank.
