GLASGOW, United Kingdom -- A woman who purchased a Krispy Kreme doughnut got a little more than she paid for.
When Ria Findlay bit into a caramel doughnut, she also took a bite of a latex glove. Findlay told The Mirror this was her first doughnut with filling inside.
“As it was my first, I was discussing flavors of the filling with my colleague next to me," she said. “It was like, ‘Oooh there’s caramel and cream and oh, what’s this blue stuff?’"
@krispykremeUK @Tesco since when is 'rubber glove' the new filling? #disgusting #WTF http://t.co/6s2kL05I9o—

Findlay and her friend eventually realized the "blue stuff" was actually a latex glove.
“Being 7 months pregnant, my gag reflex was in overload," Findlay told The Mirror.
Findlay also posted a photo of the doughnut on Instagram where Krispy Kreme UK posted a response:
"Hi Ria, please accept our apologies. Please can you send full details over to us so we can investigate and liaise with you > helpdesk@krispykreme.co.uk. Our customer care team will be in touch with you tomorrow."
