Nothing ruins a meal like discovering an unexpected guest—especially if it’s a lizard in your drink. A Malaysian man recently shared his shocking experience on TikTok, recounting the disturbing moment he realized his cold drink had an unwelcome “topping” floating inside.
The man, identified as Shahrul, had ordered a refreshing beverage to enjoy alongside his bowl of spicy instant noodles. After taking a few sips, he was horrified to spot a small lizard submerged in his drink, its black, beady eyes staring back at him.
“I Already Drank It!”
In his TikTok video, Shahrul humorously described the unsettling scene, saying, “What the heck is the lizard doing inside my drink? I’ve already drank it, only to see it floating inside. I don’t know if I’ll turn into Cicakman tomorrow!” The incident left him feeling nauseated, and his caption revealed his mix of disgust and disbelief, remarking that while the eyes staring back were shocking, the real horror was realizing he’d tasted it.
Shock and Loss of Appetite
Shahrul’s discovery didn’t just disrupt his meal—it completely ruined his appetite. In an interview with WeirdKaya, he shared that despite the initial shock, he tried to continue eating his noodles. However, the unsettling image of the lizard left him struggling to enjoy his meal. After some attempts to press on, he decided to throw the drink away, admitting he was too disturbed to finish it.
“I Couldn’t Sleep That Night”
The ordeal didn’t end there. Shahrul shared that he spent a sleepless night replaying the incident in his mind, horrified at the thought of having potentially ingested lizard-tainted liquid. Even after discarding the drink, the experience haunted him long after his meal, as he wondered whether the lizard had been alive or dead while he was sipping.
A Viral Reminder to Double-Check Drinks
Shahrul’s post quickly gained traction on TikTok, with viewers sharing both humorous and sympathetic responses to his encounter. Some commented with jokes about his potential transformation into “Cicakman,” while others sympathized, sharing their own horror stories about finding unexpected objects in food or drinks. The incident serves as a viral reminder to double-check beverages—just in case there’s an unexpected “topping” waiting at the bottom.
The unsettling story has made waves on social media, highlighting the importance of food safety and cleanliness in the food and beverage industry. While most people have stories of finding stray hairs or other minor foreign objects, Shahrul’s experience takes things to a whole new level, marking an unforgettable (and unappetizing) meal.
For those who want to avoid similar surprises, Shahrul’s story is a light-hearted yet poignant reminder to stay vigilant. As for Shahrul, he’ll likely be a little more cautious with his drinks going forward.
