#1 A woman posted a bizarre video claiming she found 'living worms' in Lipton's lemon-flavoured green tea bags

A video is spreading virally on social media that purports that inside Lipton Lemon Green Tea teabags are worms. The video shows a woman opening up two Lipton teabags and picking out a number of small yellow "worms".

The video also asserts that they had found the same worms in all Lemon Green Tea teabags that they had checked but not in non-flavoured teabags. Why Lipton would put worms in their products is not explained in the video. See the video below.

The Lipton tea company is responding to that video posted to Facebook.

#4 The company posted the video to its Facebook page with the following caption:

In response to the video of Lipton's Lemon Green Tea bags, there are no "worms" in our tea bags. These are small lemon flavor pieces which have been mistaken for worms. If you put these lemon flavor pieces in hot water they will dissolve as you can see from this video. The tea is of the highest quality standard and is absolutely safe to consume.
