Given Woolworths’ high profile on social media, it should hardly be surprising that the tweet attracted a fair amount of attention, with reactions split between those who were completely grossed out and those who tried to find a funny side to the whole situation:

At this stage, it’s worth noting that the veracity of the claims has not been established but we sincerely hope that, for the sake of the tweeter’s dignity, this isn’t a hoax.
