Red Lobster is an American food chain with various restaurants open worldwide and a reputation for seafood. One woman, however, got more than she bargained for after her pasta dish arrived with some extra toppings she hadn\u2019t anticipated. Marquita, who goes by \u2018mashunnacollection\u2019 on TikTok, took to social media after discovering a sprinkling of snails crawling across her meal. \u2018 \u201cLook what was in my food at Red Lobster!\u201d Marquita wrote over the video while she showed how her pasta displayed far too much movement for comfort. \u201cWhat is that in my food at Red Lobster!? SNAILS?\u201d The video has already garnered over 1.4 million views, with many shocked onlookers rushing to the comment section to voice their disgust and offer Marquita some advice. \u201cNow I need to stare at my food and watch for bugs as it turns ice cold [and] I\u2019ll ultimately box it up [and] eat it later if there\u2019s no bugs,\u201d one person wrote. Another said, \u201cPretty sure that\u2019s fruit fly larvae. Basically maggots.\u201d A third was more focused on how the creepy crawlies got in the pasta in the first place; \u201cIf all of that was cooked in boiling water\/[sauteed] in [a] hot pan, how the hell [did] those [get] there?\u201d One Red Lobster employee, however, seemingly had the answer; \u201cI work at Red Lobster. This happened to us [and they] were all inside the parsley that we garnish on top of everything [because] it didn\u2019t get cleaned out.\u201d Many were convinced this is what had happened to Marquita\u2019s meal, with the snails accompanied by a garnish of aged parsley. She did offer a small update for viewers, revealing Red Lobster\u2019s district manager offered her a replacement meal which she had declined. \u201cI said no thank you and I wanted to speak to someone higher up please,\u201d Marquita wrote in the comments of her video. While she has also reached out to Red Lobster over social media, the food chain has yet to respond.
