Finger found in bowl of chilli
From correspondents in San Jose.
March 24, 2005

A PATRON at a fast food restaurant in California, found a human finger in a bowl of chili prepared by the chain, local officials said.

"This individual apparently did take a spoonful, did have a finger in their mouth and then, you know, spit it out and recognised it," said Ben Gale, director of the department of environmental health for Santa Clara County.

"Then they had some kind of emotional reaction and vomited."

Local officials launched an investigation after the incident and the medical examiner determined next day that the object was a human finger.

Officials are trying to determine if the finger came in the raw materials that the Wendy's fast food chain used to prepare the chili, Gale said.

Wendy's corporate office did not immediately return a call for comment.

That's hilarious, in a very unpleasant way. I wonder if the "donor" will step forward. :D

Sick... but funny!

Ahh well. It aint the first time wiered things have turned up in fast food, and it wont be the last.

"Then they had some kind of emotional reaction and vomited."

They make that sound like some sort of unusual reflex. :p

Nasty!

...In a disturbingly funny way.

Indeed. And even that it was surprising.

I can just imagine the guy scratching his head and wondering,
Now why on earth did he react like that? :D

Finger lickin' good! :D

Finger lickin' good! :D

Dude! No!!

I know!

I mean isn't your first reaction when finding something like a finger in your food to savour the taste just to be sure, then closely examine it, and calmly tell the person behind the counter that you have an amputated body part in your food?

:p

I know!

:p

I know people who'd do just that... Of course, I haven't spoken to them in years, so who knows what they're like now!

I reckon vomiting would probably be my first reaction. It's hardly emotional, it's pretty instinctive I think.
