Aussie shoppers 'mind blown' over surprising discovery about a popular supermarket item: 'Omg I feel lied to'
A shopper has made a surprising discovery about a popular supermarket snack - leaving hundreds stunned by the little-known revelation.
Nikki said she has been eating the Harvest Snaps Baked Pea Crisps for years and loved them for what she thought was 'dehydrated' peas.
However, she dropped a bombshell on social media after discovering what the snacks were actually made of.
'I've been eating these yummy snacks... these green bean goodness for years. It wasn't until last year I found out that these aren't dehydrated peas,' she said in a now-viral video.
'They're just shaped like peas. Does this not look like a dried pea?'
Nikki called on Harvest Snaps to answer her amusing question: 'How many times a day do you get people realising this because you had me duped for years that these were dehydrated green peas?'
The snack brand weighed in on the discussion, confirming: 'Happy to share the process of how we make our snacks.
'We start with whole green peas (we mill it in house), then we form them into fun pod shapes and bake it for the perfect crunch. You'll find that veggies are listed as our very first ingredient.'
Speaking to FEMAIL, Nikki said: 'I told my colleagues and even they were mind blown that they aren't dehydrated peas. I didn't realise I wasn't the only one.'
Her video, which has been watched more than 290,000 times, was flooded with responses from stunned fans who had made the same assumption.
'Wait… are they not? I totally thought so too!' read one reply.
'HUH I thought I was eating VEGETABLES,' added a second.
'I consider myself to be relatively intelligent, and I too just thought they were dehydrated peas for soooo long,' added another.
'Omg I feel lied to I thought it was a pea-pod,' chimed in another commenter.
One parent complained they felt fooled about what they'd been giving their kids.
'I sent these with my kids to school smug AF thinking I had cracked some smug healthy parent code,' they wrote.
'Instead I was just sending them with chips, like damn Pringles.'
On the other end of the spectrum, many Harvest Peas fans were stunned that Nikki could mistake the baked pea crisps for actual peas.
'Girl have you ever had fresh peas before? They look nothing like that,' one said
'It hadn't even occurred to me people might think these are dried pea pods, not pea pod shaped chips,' replied another.
'Babe, you can see the seam on the end where it's come out of the machine,' added a third.
One commenter conceded that although they were aware it wasn't a dehydrated pea, they understood how the error could be made.
'To be fair, they did shape them like that in the hopes you wouldn't think much further.'
Another noted that the packet literally 'has a picture of a pea on it'.
Nikki subsequently posted a longer follow-up video the next day, going into greater detail about what the snack is made of and how she believed it was produced.

Legendary 80s sex symbol is unrecognizable as she embraces new look while out in LA... can you guess who she is?
This 80s star rose to fame on a popular television series that established her as a sex symbol. While out in Los Angeles on Wednesday, the actress, now 71, showed off a new look that was far removed from her days of wearing barely there denim shorts. The former pin-up girl opted for skinny jeans that showcased her curves, a tight black T-shirt beneath a brown suede jacket, and added a bit of comfort by wearing fuzzy slide sandals. Her long, light brown hair was parted in the center and styled in long, loose layers. The beauty — who was born in Ohio — wore natural looking makeup and accessorized with thin dangling earrings. She carried a quilted Chanel purse and a black-and-brown patterned scarf. Can you guess who she is? That's right! It's Dukes Of Hazzard star Catherine Bach, who made the iconic Daisy Duke shorts made famous via the popular 1980s action show. It's been said that Bach wowed Dukes Of Hazzard directors so much during her audition that she was hired on the spot to play Daisy Duke, even though they were reportedly looking for a Dolly Parton–type. The role earned her massive stardom, and a poster of her posing as Daisy sold five million copies after its release. The bombshell star made headlines during her time in the show, after it was revealed that she had insured her legs for $1 million. Since her heyday in The Dukes of Hazzard, Bach has remained a working actress in parts large and small. The Young and the Restless actress starred with Hollywood legend Robert Mitchum in the drama African Skies, which aired for two seasons on The Family Channel from 1992–1994. The series focused on a Black family and a white family in the days after apartheid ended in South Africa. She starred on the daytime drama The Young and the Restless for seven years as Anita Lawson. Bach, born Catherine Bachman, is the mother of two daughters. The former pin-up girl showcased her curves in a tight black T-shirt beneath a brown suede jacket, blue jeans, and added a bit of comfort stepping out in fuzzy slide sandals Bach wore natural looking makeup and accessorized with a quilted Chanel purse and a black and brown patterned scarf Laura, 26, is a real estate agent in Los Angeles, and Sophia, 29, is a digital creator in Toronto. She shared both girls with her late husband, entertainment attorney Peter Lopez, whom she married in 1990. Bach and Lopez found the group C.O.A.C.H. For Kids which provides free medical services for children and their families in the low-income areas of Los Angeles with use of mobile medical clinics.

Joe Jonas reveals what he REALLY thought about the infamous South Park episode poking fun at him
Joe Jonas is opening up about the infamous South Park episode poking fun at him and the rest of the Jonas Brothers back in 2009. The 35-year-old singer was and his brothers were skewered for their 'purity rings' in the Season 13 premiere of South Park dubbed The Ring. The episode follows Kenny, who, along with his girlfriend, are encouraged by the Jonas Brothers to wear purity rings and abstain from sexual activity. The rest of the main characters - Stan, Kyle and Cartman - decide to confront the JoBros, when they're taken prisoner by Mickey Mouse himself, as they realize the purity rings were just a ploy to sell sex to young girls while feigning a moral high ground. The episode also features a memorable scene where Mickey Mouse savagely beats up the animated Joe Jonas - who recently opened up about co-parenting with Sophie Turner - after the brothers tried taking a stand against their 'boss.' Joe was a guest on the Last Meals podcast, where he was asked about the episode, 16 years later, admitting that he was the only brother who enjoyed the parody. When asked how big of an 'impact' the episode had on the group, Joe admitted, 'I think I was the only brother that loved it.' 'We didn't have as tough a skin back then, and I thought it was hilarious because I watch South Park. This is so funny. I know what they're doing. They make fun of everyone,' Joe added. He added, 'to be made fun of by a comic is usually a sign that they give a s**t and they care and it's funny and you've got to be able to take a punch.' 'They really went for us. I think they were going more so on the idea of what it is,' Joe said, adding, 'What an honor to get my a** kicked by Mickey.' Joe admitted that now all the brothers think it's funny, adding, 'Now we just laugh. We love it. I think it's so great. Definitely a claim to fame for me.' The Jonas Brothers' father, Kevin Jonas Sr., a pastor who shepherded their careers early on, was not as happy with the episode, according to the 2024 book Disney High: The Untold Story of the Rise and Fall of Disney Channel's Tween Empire by Ashley Spencer. 'When the South Park episode came out, their father was super offended,' said Jonas Brothers tour photographer Elise Abdalla in the book. The episode also featured a rather sexual portrayal of the JoBros' concert film's water and foam gun scenes. Joe admitted that now all the brothers think it's funny, adding, 'Now we just laugh. We love it. I think it's so great. Definitely a claim to fame for me' Abdalla added, 'But I was like, don't you think the foam thing look a little weird?' Disney Channel president Anne Sweeney had a much different take, revealing in the book, 'We were absolutely thrilled because it meant that the rest of entertainment actually noticed us. I thought it was funny.' Nick Jonas said in a 2016 Reddit AMA that he was not a fan of the episode, but now he thinks it's hilarious. 'When it first came out I didn't think it was funny to be honest. But years later and once the purity rings were no longer around, it was very funny to me,' he said.

Taylor Swift fans are convinced her ex Joe Alwyn silently supported her amid battle to buy back her masters
Taylor Swift fans think her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn subtly showed support for her while she was in the midst of buying back her music empire. On Friday the 35-year-old Eras Tour artist announced that she bought her master recordings from Shamrock Capital. And by Sunday, a fan with the TikTok handle @manumelm created a 17-second clip connecting the 34-year-old actor's last Instagram post — shared more than two months ago — to his pop star ex. Sandwiched into Joe's carousel post, uploaded on March 12, was a photo of a heart-shaped white bowl with a four-leaf clover painted at the center. Some Swifties have taken it as a symbol related to the aforementioned Los Angeles-based investment firm Shamrock. It was noted in the brief social media snippet that the photos Taylor used for her Instagram announcement last week were taken on March 27, fueling the theory that Joe knew about the deal before it was finalized in late May. While some of Swift's diehard fan base latched onto the idea, others were skeptical that Alwyn was secretly supporting the singer. 'Let's be real. He did it for St. Patrick's Day,' one person wrote, collecting over 3,000 likes. Another added to the comments thread, 'This is a bit of a stretch, I think.' A social media user named Susie Sunshine agreed, 'I kinda think we're reaching, seeing something that's not there.' There was also a fan who offered, 'He got so good at the art of secret, coded message, because he learned it from her.' And someone else wrote in all capital letters, 'It's so suspicious!' The TikTok, soundtracked by Taylor's song Right Where You Left Me, has so far racked up 30,000 likes. Taylor and Joe reportedly met when they crossed paths at the 2016 Met Gala. They were first pictured together in Nashville, Tennessee in 2017. They were an item, keeping their relationship under tight wraps, until April 2023. Following their split, Taylor began dating Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce later that summer, and the two are going strong. Billboard reported that Swift spent nearly $360 million to buy back her music catalog from Shamrock Capital after 'bully' Scooter Braun sold her masters to the private equity firm in 2020, a year after buying them from Big Machine. 'I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away,' Taylor wrote on her website on Friday. She continued, 'But that's all in the past now. I've been bursting into tears of joy at random intervals ever since I found that this is really happening. I really get to say those words. All of the music I've ever made… now belongs… to me.' Her Instagram post teasing the full statement about the masters read, 'You belong with me. Letter on my site :).' It was accompanied by several pictures of her in a simple pale blue sweater and light wash jeans while posing and smiling with six of her records.
