I wouldn't have believed it either, but stuff does happen. Still, you'd

My brother opened a bag of Doritos chips years ago and found a big long
strip of metal in it; I witnessed it. Something had fallen off the
machinery on the production line and got sealed into the bag. So much for
"packed by weight, not by volume"; that hunk of metal weighed at least as
much as the chips in the bag.
