Valrico, Florida - Kashana Kollie loves Nestle Goobers, so when she spotted a three for $3 sale at Walgreens, she took advantage.
There was nothing unusual about the first box of Goobers her family dug into during their movie night over the weekend, but she was in for a surprise when she opened up the second box.
"What I saw was something flew out of the box, something with wings flew out of the box... I have no idea what kind of bug it was," she said.
At a closer look, what used to be chocolate covered peanuts had degraded into a dirt-like material, and then she saw something move... maggots.
"I think it's disgusting, just real disgusting," she said. She showed us the box, which she had sealed up in two plastic bags in case an inspector dropped by her home.
It was on her back porch and she wore latex gloves as she opened the bag with her proof.
"I don't want this in my house, I don't want to touch it with my bare hands," she explained.
Sure enough, a small fly was inside and a few maggots too.
Kollie called Nestle and was told the box was four months expired. She pointed out the code on the box she read to customer service.
Even if she had checked for an expiration date at the store, she said she wouldn't know what to look for.
It reads: 8070574823 9A
While she says Walgreens should have checked the dates, she's calling on Nestle to make its manufacturing codes more customer-friendly.
Kollie says Nestle told her to throw out the maggot-infested candy, and that the company is sending her coupons to buy more.

But then, who among us hasn't found some sort of bug in some form of food, right?
Gross.
