A Melbourne woman sought to cure her hunger with a classic Australian snack – but was shocked to find a nasty surprise inside.
Tina Vang bought a Thai chicken pie for $3 from a Coles supermarket in the Melbourne CBD at lunchtime on Thursday.
After taking a bite she realised there was an unwelcome intruder nestled in between the meat and pastry after allegedly tucking into a rubber band.

Ms Yang told Daily Mail Australia finding the rubber band made her ‘almost vomit’
Ms Yang told Daily Mail Australia finding the rubber band made her ‘almost vomit’.
‘I accidentally ate one piece, but I didn’t realise at first until I took out the pie from the box,’ she said.
She said the ‘whole pie is contaminated’ and that it tasted ‘very bitter’.
‘I hope I don’t have any rubber band in my tummy… that’s very disgusting in the pie.’
She contacted Coles, posting a video of the pie and the rubber band she allegedly found in her lunch on the supermarket chain’s Facebook page.
A Coles spokesman replied to Ms Vang saying they would share the video with the ‘National Quality Team’.

‘We’d encourage you to return to any of our stores with your receipt for a full refund or replacement of the pie that you’ve purchased.’
Ms Vang said she was disappointed she has yet to receive an apology from the supermarket.
