"Limited Edition" — Mosquito Finds Itself Imprinted On Lay's Chips Packaging
Not just one, but five packets.

Product defects are bound to occur every now and then, but not all mistakes are the worst.
Like in this recent case which has left the Internet in stitches.
A Thai woman who goes by @thesushipaul on TikTok recently discovered an unfortunate death imprinted on a bag of Lay's chips.
The body of a mosquito laid to rest.
Here's a closer look:
In her video that has since received over 9.4 million views, she shows how it wasn't just one packet that had the mosquito's 'seal of approval'
She and her colleagues had bought a couple of packets of Lay's potato chips and discovered that all of them had the exact same imprint.
Curious, the woman went back to the 7-Eleven outlet near her office, where she bought the chips from, to see if there were any other packets. To her surprise, she found two more bags with the same body pressed against the potato chip printing!
It's unclear if the mozzie had just flown through the scanner/mould or had actually died on the packet during the printing process, but it definitely left its mark.
Sharing a consequent video, the woman explained that she visited a different 7-Eleven outlet but didn't find any similar packets in the Lay's section, so it appeared to have only been that particular batch
"Wow! This means that I need to rush to buy the other two packets to keep and sell on eBay," she jokingly said in the video.
"This isn't just a defect on one packet. This is the death of a mosquito on the mould itself and got printed. Its legs are so long!"
One person added to the humour by calling the packets "Limited Edition".
