Viral: Woman finds a working phone in her takeout food; here's what she did next
Image credits: X/@nypost What is the best surprise you would expect when ordering a takeout? That it tastes better than you imagined, is in more quantity than you ordered or has some little freebie dishes with it? Well, an Adelaide woman got the surprise of her life when she found a shocking object at the bottom of her takeout box. In a TikTok going viral on the internet, Shraddha, a woman shared that she had ordered a hotpot from a takeaway shop the previous week. She ate most of the meal at the restaurant but took some home to eat later. When she was picking at the bottom of the container, she noticed something strange. 'I was picking at the bottom, and the container was feeling a little bit weird,' she said in the video. 'So, I kept digging, and at the bottom of the container was a working phone.' She showed the phone that she picked out from a bowl of hot soup and while it may have been working it was already showing a temperature warning. 'I rang the place, and I was like 'Hey I found a phone in my hotpot' and they were like 'Oh yeah we did have a phone missing from one of our chefs',' she continued. 'They were apologizing, and I was like 'no worries, I'll bring it back'.' Not only did the woman return the phone but she also chose to not name the restaurant, saying, 'Everyone makes mistakes.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo A free meal for her kindness Explaining the incident she revealed that apparently the chef had put his phone down in the takeaway container and since it was black, it blended with the surface, thus getting lost inside the hotpot. For her kindness in asking about the phone and returning it, Shraddha received $50 from the restaurant where she had originally paid $35 for the hotpot. Additionally, the chef asked her to inform when she visits again and receive a free hotpot. The woman also added that her eating the hotpot at home was a complete coincidence as she had earlier thought of eating it the next day but felt hungry upon reaching home. Had she followed through and microwaved the meal, the story could have been completely different, she said. Social media reactions While Shraddha's reaction to the incident may have been calm and composed, the netizens felt the complete opposite. Many added how the restaurant got off lightly and that she should have asked them for a "lifetime of free hotpot." Another X user was concerned about the cleanliness of the food with the phone being inside it, writing, "That is literally so gross. He puts the phone down everywhere. Holds it to his face. Touches it after he touches everything Imagine the germs and bacteria she ate 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮"

‘Falling in love': Groom faints at altar next to bride in viral video, pastor rushes to catch him
'Falling in love' took on a whole new meaning at a recent wedding in Brazil – when the groom collapsed at the altar, overcome by emotion as his bride walked down the aisle. The dramatic moment unfolded during the wedding of Gustavo Schmitz, 25, on Saturday, June 7, in Salete, Brazil. Schmitz, who has spoken openly about dealing with anxiety, told Jam Press that the rush of the big day – combined with the sight of his bride – was simply too much for him to handle. 'When my bride walked in – looking even more stunning than usual – my body started to go weak,' Schmitz said. Video footage of the incident shows him suddenly falling backwards, almost in slow motion, as stunned guests and the pastor lunge to catch him. A post shared by New York Post (@nypost) Leading up to the ceremony, the groom had already felt off. 'The week itself was hectic with all the preparations,' he said. 'I was already breathless when things started.' Even before taking his place at the altar, Schmitz reportedly mentioned to some ushers that his body was 'tingling,' but they thought he was just joking around, as he often did. His bride rushed to his side immediately. 'When I fainted, she grabbed my suit jacket, but I fell on her dress and she couldn't hold me up,' he explained. Thankfully, the quick actions of the pastor and a doctor friend, Eduardo, prevented things from turning more serious. 'The pastor ran over and grabbed my sleeve, stopping me from hitting my head on the floor,' Schmitz said. 'Then my friend Eduardo, who's a doctor, came quickly, checked my pulse, and gave me first aid together with the pastor.' Schmitz briefly fainted again but recovered shortly after, and the couple carried on with the ceremony as planned. 'It was all beautiful and amazing,' he said. The video of the 'fall' quickly spread across Instagram, with users reacting with both sympathy and humour. 'That bride put in so much effort to stop him from falling. So much,' one person said. Another wrote, 'Who can blame him. Bro's inner voice took control before divorce. Maybe he remembered there was no prenup.' A third commented, 'When you finally realise that there's no turning back.'

‘It's a brawl world after all': Disneyland Shanghai turns chaotic over line-cutting dispute
Disneyland is often described as the happiest place on earth; certainly not a place where you'd expect a physical fight. But that's exactly what unfolded at Disneyland Park in Shanghai, China. According to local media reports via Viral Press, a heated argument between two couples waiting at the Crazy Animal City attraction escalated into a physical altercation. The couple, reportedly with a child in tow, were said to be arguing over line-cutting. One couple was also attempting to take a photo together when they were allegedly blocked by the other family, the New York Post reported. In the now-viral clip, two men, one dressed in black, the other in white, can be seen grappling with each other as a woman in a bunny-ear hat tries desperately to separate them. Park-goers, including several children, can be seen watching in shock. The same woman then turns and aggressively shoves a mother holding a child. The video shows the mother screaming and crouching to the ground, clutching her child tightly to her chest in fear. Moments later, the same woman returns to wedge herself between the fighting men once again, this time, grabbing one of them by the throat. The X handle of the New York Post – @nypost – shared the video on Instagram with the caption, 'It's a brawl world after all. A wild fight erupted at Disneyland after a couple and another couple with their child got into a heated argument over line-cutting.' The video has since gained 260 thousand views and 6.2 thousand likes on the social media platform. A post shared by New York Post (@nypost) The viewers were sort of entertained and kind of shocked seeing the brawl. One user commented, 'Don't ask why but the volume was muted but I had the Benny Hill theme song playing on my phone. Absolute cinema.' Another user commented, 'As a mother— why would you even let your kid be exposed enough to get hit.' A third user wrote, 'Doesn't seem like the happiest place on earth.' A fourth user said, 'Gawd, literally the only normal person in this video is the kind woman who took the child out of the crying moms arm to keep her from getting hit (again).' While the New York Post reported that only minor injuries were sustained, both couples could be facing a lifetime ban from Disneyland under the park's strict rules against any form of violence.

‘So sad': Tailless alligator crosses road, the Internet can't look away
A tailless alligator crawling across a road in southern Louisiana is grabbing eyeballs on the Internet, with many viewers initially mistaking the unusual sight for a large dog. The video, recorded and shared on Facebook by Ashlyn Bartholomew, shows the alligator slowly making its way across Highway 23 in Plaquemines Parish. Bartholomew, who had just dropped her kids off at baseball practice, said she wasn't sure what she was looking at at first. 'I wasn't sure if it was an alligator or a big dog,' she told local news. In the now-viral video, her surprise is audible as she exclaims, 'What?' while watching the tailless reptile awkwardly move across the road. Sharing the video on Facebook, she captioned it with a warning, 'Y'all be careful. There's half an alligator walking on the road.' According to local reports, Robert Mendyk, a reptile expert at the Audubon Zoo, explained that the gator likely lost its tail in a violent fight with another alligator. He also said that such injuries are not uncommon and that alligators are surprisingly resilient, often surviving significant amputations like this one. Watch the video here: A post shared by New York Post (@nypost) Several social media users expressed distress over the injured alligator, with one saying, 'So sad!!! Looked hurt. Can a non-kill rescue service help him?' Another user commented, 'Awww please leave him alone poor guy.' 'I feel very bad for it. Not a fan of alligators, but I don't like seeing any animal hurt or in pain,' a third user reacted. Early this month, renowned French wildlife photographer Lucas Cottereau, known for documenting reptiles around the world, captured a wild American alligator completely missing its upper jaw, in Florida's Everglades. In a series of striking photos and videos shared on Instagram, the alligator is seen moving calmly both on land and through the water. With only its lower jaw remaining, teeth fully exposed and perfectly aligned, the image stunned several social media users.

Katy Perry halts concert to call out fan for messaging Orlando Bloom; threatens to remove him: ‘He don't want you'
Katy Perry left fans stunned during her Saturday night concert at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, when she suddenly broke character mid-performance to address a fan directly from the stage. The packed crowd erupted as the pop icon paused her Lifetimes Tour set, crouched down dramatically, and stared pointedly at one audience member. 'I know why you're here,' she said, locking eyes with a fan named Kyle, who has been allegedly texting actor Orlando Bloom, Perry's partner. 'Listen, if you keep DM-ing my man … you've been doing it for months, ever since the residency. You didn't come to see me play.' The crowd roared with laughter and cheers as Perry said, 'If you keep on DM-ing my man I'm going to have you removed – seriously, get your own life.' She didn't stop there. In a moment that has now gone viral online, she delivered a fierce message: 'He don't want you, Kyle. I'm his wife. I'm his, he's mine … stay the f**k away.' A post shared by New York Post (@nypost) But what seemed like a raw, unscripted confrontation turned out to be part of the act. Perry used the moment to segue seamlessly into her next track, I'm His, He's Mine, her 2024 single that's become a fan favorite. While the playful drama thrilled the audience in Nevada, Perry's ambitious 84-date Lifetimes world tour hasn't been smooth sailing. Though she packed arenas across Australia earlier this year, her shows in the United States have struggled with ticket sales, with several venues reportedly falling short of full capacity, according to the New York Post. Her tour's production design has also drawn criticism online, with some calling the visuals 'cheap' and lacking the flair fans expect from a star of her calibre. Adding to her recent challenges, reports surfaced that Perry won't be returning for another stint in Las Vegas, following backlash from her controversial Blue Origin space flight in April – a high-profile, all-female mission that included Gayle King and Lauren Sanchez but received mixed reactions from the public.
