TikToker @empease7 was curious to know what was rattling around inside some of her Christmas tree ornaments, so she took a stick and broke one open—and it was full of insects.

A woman on TikTok unlocked a new fear after revealing the contents of the "rattling" Christmas tree ornaments she retrieved from storage.

TikToker @empease7 took to the platform after the noise her ornaments were making piqued her curiosity.


She explained that she had just taken them from storage when she noticed the peculiar sound.

"Alright, when I got my ornaments out of storage today, I noticed that a bunch had this weird rattle sound."

The TikToker explained that she is a firm believer in investigating "red flags," so she "had to know what was inside."

Unfortunately.

She continued:

"So, I did the sensible thing, and grabbed a stick."
"I whacked it, and oh. my. gosh."

That was the moment the creator realized her ornaments had been infiltrated by insects.

As the bugs scattered from the wreckage, the TikToker added:

"Look at the ants that were coming out of this thing."
"It was terrifying."

You can watch below.

PSA: If you stored ornaments in a cardboard box, give them a good shake outside before decorating inside. #christmas #ornaments #nightmarebeforechristmas #ants #ornamentsmash #fyp

Viewers of the viral TikTok, which has been seen more than half a million times already, were equally as mortified as the TikToker herself.

Several also urged the TikToker to investigate further.

We sure hope the TikToker got some new ornaments...and checked the rest of her house!

MAGA Rep. Dragged After Claiming Bad Bunny's Halftime Show Depicted 'Gay Pornography'

Tennessee Republican Representative Andy Ogles was widely mocked after he claimed Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show was "pure smut" that depicted "gay pornography"—even going so far as to write a letter to the Energy and Commerce Committee demanding "a formal congressional inquiry" into the "indecent broadcast."

The rapper, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, delivered a largely Spanish-language show that has been hailed as a "love letter to Puerto Rico" and that drew from his latest album, Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which won the Grammy for Album of the Year just a week ago.
