The family was convinced that the animal was a snake, though experts thought that it was a frog. Maybe they were right after all, and the animal was a snake&#8230;because a different part of a snake was found inside another bag of Pictsweet green beans in Wisconsin. What part? Well, it&#8217;s not the head, and it&#8217;s not the end, but it was conveniently cut to the same length as the green beans.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It was a section of garter snake, the same diameter as the beans and mechanically cut to about an inch in length like the rest of the bag&#8217;s contents.<\/p>\n<p>The beans had been bought at a major chain store and packaged by the Bells, Tenn.-based Pictsweet Company.<\/p>\n<p>A &#8220;grossed out&#8221; Guist searched the entire bag but found no other parts among the beans.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Where did the rest of the snake go?&#8221; she wondered.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Open up your freezers, America: The search is on!  Maybe Pictsweet should just start labeling the bags &#8220;Now with more protein!&#8221; and call the green beans a new health food.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want pictures?
