An Australian mother got more than she bargained for when she went to buy supplies for her child’s arts and crafts project.
Searching for materials to make an Easter-themed hat for her child to wear during the annual hat parade, the mother headed to a nearby branch of Kmart.
However, when she reached for a packet of yellow shredded paper to create straw for the hat, she noticed that there was an X-rated ‘free extra’ nestled in the packaging.
The unexpected item was a piece of pink paper cut in the shape of a penis.
Taking to the Facebook group ‘Kmart Hacks & Decor’, the mother shared her shocking discovery.
According to Australian website Kidspot, she joked: ‘Thanks Kmart for the free extra in my shredded paper. This is perfect for my child’s Easter hat parade.’
And, with the post receiving 11,000 reactions and more than 700 comments, she clearly wasn’t the only person who found the X-rated addition hilarious.
One Facebook user commented on the woman’s find: ‘Who doesn’t need a bit of c**k in their lives?’

While another chimed in: ‘I think it is a sign that you need your eggs fertilised for Easter.’
A third person added: ‘I didn’t know Kmart sold confetti like that.’
In light of the discovery of the pink paper penis, other mothers were disappointed that they weren’t tasked with a similar arts and crafts project.
One laughed: ‘Now that’s the kind of Easter hat I wanna make!’
While another joked: ‘It’s a new game… find the penis in the haystack!!’
A third person exclaimed: ‘Shake the bag up and down to see what happens!!’
A fourth amused shopper added: ‘The warehouse team would have had a laugh hahahaha!’
Earlier this month, Kmart customers shopping for their children got excited about another item – although this time it was more age appropriate.
The mother posted her discovery on Facebook, attracting a huge response from amused social media users
Nostalgic shoppers were obsessing over a ‘must-have’ $39 (£19) item, with many saying they were struggling to get their hands on one.

What shoppers love about the new gadget was that it brings back childhood memories of making amusing amateur videos with family and friends.
The camera comes with 15 stickers, three special effects, six filters and five in-built games – including the classic Snake.
Many parents couldn’t wait to get the camcorder for their children, with one saying: ‘Ooh I know what I’m buying and saving for Christmas for my kid now.’
However many revealed they haven’t been able to buy one as they are already flying off the shelves or are yet to launch in their local stores.

‘What a great idea,’ one shared.
‘It’s so cute – definitely going to buy it,’ another added.

Melbourne content creator Coco Devile rushed to snap one up before they sell out.
‘I wanted to find one before anyone else gets their hands on it because I know it’s going to be popular,’ they said.
‘The quality is very bad, and I like that… Do a Cathy Freeman and run to Kmart for the Y2K vibe camera.’
