One Irish woman was shocked to find an unwelcome surprise in her McDonalds order recently.
A viral clip shows her in the middle of eating a Chicken Legend from the popular fast food chain when she claims to pull out a flower from the lettuce leaves..
The 'flower' looks like a dandelion or other weed with a green stem and multiple yellow flower buds sprouting.

Her boyfriend, who filmed the clip, uploaded it to TikTok in August where it has since received over 3 million views.
In the clip, the woman is heard saying: “F***ing flowers in my Chicken McSandwich mate? Flowers?
“Is this actually for real here like?” she asks, dropping the mayo-covered flower into the burger box.
Rather than being concerned at her strange find, her boyfriend corrects her telling her the proper name of what she ordered, saying: "Chicken McSandwich? It's a Chicken Legend."
People people saw the funny side of the video with one person joking: "Cost of living is so bad now, they're just tricking us with dandelions instead of lettuce."
Another addressed the boyfriend's response, commenting: "I like how you’re worried about her mis-saying the name and not the small bouquet she found."
Some offered an explanation as to how the 'flower' ended up in the McDonalds food.
One person said: "It happens with many bags of salads bought for catering. They are harmless."
And another reminded her that it could have ben a much nastier find, writing: "Still better than a bug or plastic. It is organic girl!!"
However, many people doubted the authenticity of the video saying that she could have picked the flower out of the ground and staged the find.
One TikTok user identified the flowers as 'ragwort', a common weed found in Ireland, saying: "That’s ragwort and definitely wasn’t put in by staff."
Another person said: "I work at McDonald's, no you didn't [find that in your order]."
