'Demonic' Pear Freaks Out New Zealand Woman

[Photograph: stuff.co.nz]

A canned pear with a "demonic" carved face greeted a New Zealand woman who was just trying to have a late night snack earlier this month.

Wendy McMahon posted the photos to some websites and Facebook before contacting the canner and reporting the weirdness:

Mrs McMahon said the woman was reluctant to accept the find was genuine, became angry she had "gone public" online with the find, assured her the manufacturing process was automated and there was no way this could have happened.

Forwarding the photos to the woman made her change her tune.

On Thursday she received a letter and a $15 voucher.
