  • C h a n t e l S c o t t on Instagram: "The now famous frog in the lettuce I found at Sobeys in London Ontario! 🐸 🥬 UPDATE: I handed the mixed salad to an employee who took it to the manager. I asked employees if they were releasing the frog and they said yes after they file a report they would release it to the local pond up the street. (Someone also commented on TikTok that the manager has a terrarium for it so idk what happened sobeys manager only knows!😇)"
