You might remember lucky packets as a child. You never really knew what to expect when you opened them. And that was all part of the fun. Same goes for Christmas crackers or wrapped gifts. With those things, the element of surprise is expected. But sometimes, the most unexpected items can hold a "gift" we never even knew was there.
Like finding money hidden in a mattress, an engagement ring in your glass of champagne, or a snake in your car engine. People have been sharing their most surprising discoveries after they opened or broke something by mistake. Some are super cool, some are oddly satisfying and others are just plain strange. Bored Panda has compiled a list of our personal favorites. Keep scrolling and don't forget to upvote the ones that left your jaw on the floor.
If you ever watched the movie Forrest Gump, you might remember the scene where he says his momma told him that “life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get.” Personally, we'd prefer the surprises to stay out of our food...
Have you ever opened, or bitten into something, and found something unexpected? Let us know in the comments.

#38 Cross-Section Of Agave Americana Mediopicta Alba
Pretty bizarre to see that there are distinct white lines that continue inside the plant where the chlorophyll lacking white section meets the outer green sections. This cut is about an hour old, so it looks fibrous as it begins to dry out.
