Aussie woman gets rude shock after ordering 'croissant' lamp from Temu

"Why is it... flaking?"

An Aussie woman said she was gifted a 'croissant lamp' from Temu by her sisters, but came home one day to find it covered in ants. 

The woman, @froginahatgirl, said she immediately started investigating, only to discover that the lamp was, in fact, a real croissant.

"It's literally f**king food"

"So I got this Temu lamp as a gift from my sisters, and I had it in my room, and I came home from work after the hot day and there was like hundreds of ants underneath it," she explained in the clip.

Wondering whether or not it was a real croissant that had been covered in resin, she said, "I just poked a bigger hole and it, like, low-key looks like a f**ing croissant under there."

She then breaks the lamp in half on camera to reveal flaky layers inside, suggesting that it's a real baked good, not a lamp shade.

"That looks like a f**ing croissant," she exclaimed.

"Are you actually joking me? That looks like f**ing pastry. Look at the crumbs. What the actual f**k Temu?"

To confirm her theory, she decided to do what any good detective would do and... take a bite out of the lamp.

"I guess there’s one way to truly know," she said before breaking off a piece and having a small nibble.

"It’s literally f**ing foo," she then declared.

"A light snack"

After the clip gained over 11 million views, people lost it in the comments.

"Just a light snack," one punny user wrote. 

"Y’all say you want authentic but then get pissed off when you get authentic croissants lmao," a second pointed out. 

"Why is nobody concerned about the BITE she took from it???" another asked.

But someone else said: "The taste test was the most Aussie thing ever."

And another person chimed in: "Kind of makes you wonder about the squirrel lamp they’ve got on there…"
