One woman was confused by the complimentary gift she received alongside her Indian takeaway this past Valentine's Day.
Elle Mills collected her takeaway from a local Indian restaurant called The Amantola and didn't think anything was amiss.
When she arrived home though, she opened the bag to find a bright red thong hidden inside a plastic rose, NorthWalesLive reported.
The underwear was extremely skimpy, not leaving much to the imagination, and featured a red heart detailing in the crotch area with the word 'love' embroidered in the middle.
When the plastic rose was first given to Elle by restaurant staff, she didn't think much of it.

However, Elle's younger sister Kacy ended up playing with the rose and pulled out the lingerie item rolled up inside.
Elle, from Wales, said: "I was mortified but I couldn't stop laughing. Imagine how may people have a pair, I was in stitches even thinking about it."
She joked about the "riots" it would have caused for couples if one partner came home to find the thong in their home.
"I know I wouldn't be too happy if I came home and found them," she said.

Elle also wondered if the gift was intentional and contacted the restaurant to find out. But, the staff were nearly as confused as Elle was as they definitely didn't put the thong inside themselves.
A spokesperson for the restaurant said: "We had been given some roses from one of our suppliers to give out for free on Valentine's and unfortunately we were unaware of what was inside when we took them on board."
"Of course, it's a bit embarrassing because we wouldn't want to associate ourselves with that but since finding out we have disposed of them," they added.
The restaurant have also apologised to Elle personally and offered her a voucher for her next visit due to the blush-inducing mishap.
