While ants may be an excellent source of protein, they're not exactly the perfect addition to salt and vinegar chips.

Emily Wagoner, a high school student, recently visited a Pita Pit in Beaverton, Oregon, where she purchased a bag of Miss Vickie's sea salt and vinegar flavored chips. Everything seemed normal, but then Wagoner discovered that the chips were actually covered in dead ants.

never go to pita pit ever OMFG literal dead ants all over my chips and I thought it was seasoning so I ate them pic.twitter.com/hOjfH5RPZE — Emily Wagoner (@eWags10) September 13, 2016

Wagoner explains that she thought the black specks on her chips were just seasoning, but she was very wrong. They were definitely dead ants.

Initially, Wagoner says the restaurant offered her a free bag of chips.

@jocelyngorman yes!! they didn't even say sorry they asked if I wanted another bag of chips — Emily Wagoner (@eWags10) September 13, 2016

But shortly after tweeting about the mishap, Pita Pit reached out to Wagoner on Twitter in an attempt to remedy the situation.

@eWags10 Whoa! Can you DM us with the location you encountered this at? — Pita Pit (@PitaPitUSA) September 14, 2016

According to Cosmopolitan, Pita Pit offered Wagoner a $50 gift certificate. But she was not pleased with their compensation because of how the restaurant initially treated her.

Wagoner also told Cosmopolitan that she wants proof that Pita Pit is taking real action against the chip company Miss Vickie's, and claims the $50 gift card "just seems insulting."

Mashable has reached out to Wagoner for additional comment and to Frito-Lay, Miss Vickie's parent company, for comment.
