Shocking find in school boy’s lunchbox
A mortified dad has shared how he found out he had mistakenly packed a beer in his young son’s lunchbox after the school called and asked him to pick up his child.
The American dad and money mindset coach Will Meyers took to TikTok to share exactly how the situation came to be.
Will explained that he accidentally packed one can of black Liquid Death (a sparkling water brand) and a can of Guinness beer, and the reason why the mixup occurred was because they were both black.
In the video, Will said, “Well, I gotta go pick up my kid from school today because I made a big mistake.
“Whenever my son was born, the best advice I ever got was you know more than you think you do, but today is not that day, let me show you.”
Will pointed out that one of the black cans is sparkling water and that his son, “likes for me to pack that in his lunch because it's awesome”.
The other black can was a can of Guinness.
“It looks like it's sparkling water, but it's definitely not sparkling water,” Will said.
“And now I've gotta go pick up my kid from school and try to explain this situation.”
The clip went viral, attracting more than 2.7 million viewers.
The majority of the comments were people empathising with the dad, writing ‘lol’ and sharing emojis.
Others shared their own ‘dad horror stories’ of things they had mistakenly packed for their child to take to school.
“My dad sent me to school with a Mike's hard lemonade in kindergarten, so I think it's just a normal dad thing,” one person commented.
“I sent two packs of cigarettes in a bag of paper plates and napkins to my daughter's class,” another added.
A teacher chimed in saying it’s a common mistake, “A kid brought in a can of White Claw thinking it was regular sparkling water, too”.
One mum commented she once accidentally sent her son to school with his sibling’s nappy bag instead of his backpack.
