“Looks like this chocolate didn’t have double wrapping. The reason why dairy milk is double-wrapped (golden foil + white paper wrap) is to avoid worms getting inside. P.S. Always inspect the product & expiry details before consumption,” quipped one user, emphasizing the importance of consumer diligence in scrutinizing product packaging and expiry dates.
Someone joked, “That is the sign of PURITY! Just packed chocolate where a worm was there.”
