An elderly Russian woman almost lost a tooth when she bit into her favorite candy bar last week. But it wasn't an errant bit of walnut shell that she found inside the chocolate-coated treat, it was a diamond wedding ring.At first Elena Otpushchennikova thought she had won a prize from the local candy factory. After finding out that no such contest existed she decided to track down the owner of the gold ring. She quickly concluded that the ring must have slipped off someone's finger while the candy was being made. Rather than publicly announce that she found it she went to the factory to find the owner.
Soon after learning that one of the women there was a newlywed she was giving the ring back to Tatiana. It seems that Tatiana, who'd been married for only two weeks, brought the ring to work to show off to her co-workers. For some reason the whole incident sounds like fodder for a Russian version of I Love Lucy.

I am really, really glad they got a photo of this.
