A woman who posts on TikTok as Raine Miracles (@rainemiracles) described being in an emergency room after eating from a bag of chips she said she received in a Walmart delivery. On-screen text in that video read, “9/3/2026 Everyone be vigilant!” as she spoke from what appeared to be a hospital bed.
The snack, she explained, was a bag of Good Eat’n Hot Hot Puffs, which she described as baked rather than fried. She stated she had already eaten about half the bag before she noticed a tiny hole in the packaging and liquid at the bottom.
The first TikTok video drew about 2.3 million views, 194,500 likes, and more than 8,300 comments. In it, she told viewers to pay attention to their food and inspect it before putting it in their mouths. She added, “It’s sad we have to do this, but this is our reality. Everybody be safe.”

In a second TikTok video, Raine Miracles showed the red bag and the nutrition and ingredients panel. She said the puffs were “relatively healthier than anything else on the market as far as cheese puffs.” She then turned the bag so viewers could see the silver interior, which she described as wet and saturated with orange residue.
She recounted biting into a puff and feeling “liquid secretions just spilling out all in my mouth,” then spitting it out. A small hole on the outside looked smoother on the inside, she maintained, which she said made it seem as if something had been injected and pulled out rather than simply punctured.
The puffs looked greasier than they should, she argued, and they are supposed to be dry and puffy. She added that she had bought other bags of the same product and planned to show an unopened one for comparison.
In a longer third TikTok video, she said the incident happened on Thursday, September 3, around 3:30 or 4 p.m., after she had already shopped at Aldi and Food Lion and received a Walmart+ order. She said she had canceled the membership weeks earlier, but was still using it through September 14.
She described eating little that morning and tearing the bag open in her room while watching a show. Chest and stomach pain started about 5 to 10 minutes after she began eating, she claimed. She said she set the bag aside, then ate about six more puffs later, when liquid “squirted and oozed” into her mouth.
One side of the bag was much wetter than the other, she noted. She described a “teeny tiny hole” near the bottom on the left. She said she showed the bag to her 16-year-old son without pointing out the hole first, and that he found it. Her son’s father died of a heart attack at 35 five years earlier, she stated, which she said pushed her to go to the hospital.
She explained that she took the bag with her, told staff she had chest and stomach pain after eating from a bag that had a hole, and that a physician assistant also looked at the hole. The team ran an X-ray, a CT scan, and urine and blood tests, she recounted. Staff told her they did not find anything they could test for there, that some things can take days to show in blood, and that she should return if other symptoms appeared, according to her account.
She said she was at the hospital from about 4 p.m. until midnight. She claimed she was in sharp chest and stomach pain after she got home and did not sleep until nearly 5 a.m. Friday. She said she later called the police in the Durham and Wake County area and that they treated the matter as civil rather than criminal because she had not died.
She then called the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Two women there listened, expressed shock, told her it was a crime, and said police should handle a case this serious, she reported. She added that she had given them the wrong address at first because Walmart had given her the wrong address.
She said the delivery came from the Super Walmart on Apex Parkway or Peakway in Apex, North Carolina. She stated a Ring camera showed the delivery driver parked several spots away in visitor parking instead of her usual open assigned space, and that the driver’s head was down. She said she was not accusing the driver.
She also said a bag of cane sugar from the same order had a “perfect hole.” She stated she called the store, got no help, then reached a person at corporate who said an investigation would be started. She said she planned to return the rest of the groceries from that order.
By Saturday, she felt better than Thursday and Friday, she stated, and by Sunday, she still had a sharp stomach pain that came and went. She asked people not to follow her page only for drama and thanked viewers for their prayers and positive messages. This incident highlights the importance of checking food packaging for tampering, as another woman recently checked Walmart cake pops before serving them and saw what her child could have eaten.
Some viewers questioned the account. One commenter wrote, “I don’t believe this.” Another focused on her use of the word microscopic and wrote, “if something is microscopic, you can’t see it…not being able to see it without a microscope is literally what microscopic means.”
Other commenters described their own habits or reactions. One wrote, “I squeeze all my chip bags before purchasing to make sure its has no leaks.” Another wrote, “D–n earth sucks.” Concerns about chip consumption extend beyond packaging, as seen when a woman shared eating chips dipped in salt and called it her saltsa, leaving viewers worried about her health.
A further commenter treated the video as a reason to avoid chips and processed food, writing, “A sign to no longer eat chips, my mom use to eat chips all the time and suffered two strokes, avoid processed foods.”
