Brewing a social media storm: Thai woman discovers clear teeth brace in tea

[webfact]

 

A Thai woman took to Facebook to share that she found a clear teeth brace in a beverage she had bought from a well-known Thai beverage brand. From the picture, it is believed to be the popular Thai tea brand ChaTraMue.

 

The woman shared the picture of the clear teeth brace last night on her Facebook account, Ploy Chutinan.

 

The picture showed plastic glass with the brace at the bottom. Ploy accompanied the picture with a caption saying…

“Tea from a reputable brand. I had already finished it. Never did I anticipate something like this happening to me. Could this pose an infection risk? A clear brace in my cup? #FamousTeaBrand #ThrowUpThreeTimes #Disappointed #Shock!!!”

The post garnered over 2,400 reactions, 1,700 comments, and 1,400 shares. Most netizens tagged their friends in the comment session to warn them to check their cups before drinking. Some blamed Ploy for creating a fake situation to gain attention because the brace was big enough to be noticed.

Looks like an Invisalign retainer. Should be able to tell if it is a used one or not.

If it fitted her mouth then it's a bonus.

[ignore it]

Nothing like a bracing cuppa in the morning.

[Sydebolle]

15 minutes of fame? 

[brianthainess]

Just a storm in a teacup.

[kimamey]

She should try to find who it fits. Possibly Cinderella.

 

Not very pleasant if it's true. I think my first thought would be, contact the company rather than social media, but then I'm getting old.

[Jaxxper]

The beverage must have had some bite to it !!????

[bendejo]

Seems pretty easy to start a storm with social media.

Yes.

 

It is recommended you remove these when drinking tea/coffee, and eating (obviously).

 

Not sure how it got into a new clean cup though?

 

Most people put it into the smaller round carrying case for temporary storage (with plastic tube used to reseat). Or discard them after the one week period in the series.

Well the staff of my Chatramue hang out have this habit of constantly chatting/laughing while preparing customer orders (salary seems to be their favorite topic...) But seriously I think it's their Cracker Jack prize campaign leak.

[Bim Smith]

Did they charge extra

[hotchilli]

Not often you finish your drink to find something smiling back at you.

[bananafish]

They can identify the perpetrator via their dental records.

Thailand's version of Kinder Surprise?

[arick]

Dirty foreigners Thais can't afford such luxuries

[smew]

fake news !! people do crazy things to gain popularity 

[Pla Simon]

Apparently, the lady was dissuaded from legal discourse, after her Lawyer asked for a retainer fee...

[rwill]

Fortunately they agreed not to charge her extra for it.

[AgMech Cowboy]

I wondered where I left that...

[leither69]

Big joke will get this sorted out.  Whoever it belongs to will be identurfied.  ????

[khunpin]

"... infection risk ...?" 

I'm surprised that she was still able to take a picture and publish her found. 

That clear plastic was contaminated with poison from other tea. She'll die soon anyway ... ????????????

SURE she FOUND it in her tea, LOL. She's looking to get Baht from the innocent beverage company. She's so 'ignorant' she thinks no else has tried the scam before she's trying to pull LOL.

[observer90210]

Was the lady from a rival coffee shop ?

[AustinRacing]

What’s a “plastic glass”?

[tadpole22]

buy a tea get teeth free

[hidbehindthesofa]

I am sure the facebook police will investigate this matter . . .

[SingAPorn]

She should try posting an ad on FB to sell it.

[bbbbooboo]

Hmmm…. Does she get charged extra for the mouth brace?
