I can't speak for the validity of this, but why would somebody ask for $10,000 compensation for this?

Because it'll cost McDonald's far more than that to actually try the case and they'll get it.

Make that 100.000 :)

And I'm not sure why. I can understand free meals, but 100K? That seems a bit over the top. On which grounds is she pressing the charges?

Because they might get the money. Why else? Also I think it's a fake. Don't they burn the tips of the beaks off of chickens raised in factory farms? This one seems to have an intact, though breaded and fried, beak.

you'd want free meals after you find that? :eek:

Not that I'm aware of, although I worked at a turkey plant and not a chicken one the birds were completely whole when they arrived.

$100,000? Give her $2,000 and tell her to blow it out her ear.

wait til her grandmother files suit as she was raised eating the heads and feet.
thats gonna be a whopper.

Sure, why not. The chance of getting such a thing is about as big as winning the lottery. And how much people won the lottery twice? :p

fuck that-give her a happy meal full of chicken heads and tell her to get the fuck out.

Really. Free meals at Wendy's, maybe. Ick.

It was McDonalds, they don't sell whoppers there ;)

Wendy's? Fuck no. I rather get McDonald's fried chicken heads. Free meals at Burger King or Hardee's.

Aye...this seems a bit too suspect here...I know for a fact someone working at the McDonald's would have caught that. If there's a nugget that oddly shaped, you'll notice if you're running the friers. I worked at Wendy's long enough to know that.

ok, if you like that kind of food, i guess you're right.

Yeah thats the question I'm driving at, on what grounds would she be awarded such a large some of money?

ok, if you like that kind of food, i guess you're right.

The thing is that you will not get that kind of food again. That was a chance encounter, and the rest of the food is perfectly normal (for a McDonalds).

It was McDonalds, they don't sell whoppers there ;)

:D you got me..... a whopper is something you have to deal with a few hours after eating McDonalds.

Not that I'm aware of, although I worked at a turkey plant and not a chicken one the birds were completely whole when they arrived.

Well, that's what I get for paying attention to PETA.

My bullshit detector is beeping like mad over here. I think the whole things fake, but Hell, I'd fake a pic, and lie for $10,000. A helluva lot less actually.

that's what i was refering to with "if you like that kind of food"

that's what i was refering to with "if you like that kind of food"

I see, but if it's free the quality vs. price ratio is quite good ;) But yes, I prefer something less... fried :D

When did McDonalds start serving soul food?

yeah, you have a point there.
but with the last sentence, do you mean you prefer raw chickenheads??? :eek:

Nah, I prefer grilled meat. Hmmm, Argentinian food and Greek is my favourite :cool:

Yeah thats the question I'm driving at, on what grounds would she be awarded such a large some of money?

and if she is found to be full of shit, what will she have to pay?

i've never eaten Argentinian food, but i love feta and tatziki and stuff. i don't eat meat though.

Not necessarily. I was eating strawberry oatmeal and bit into a huge thumb or toenail (the nail in it's entirety not just a clipping or the tip). I was grossed out but after a few days decied it must have been a random event. A week later I found another in a completely different box. I'm just curious who loses entire thumb/toenails in a factory?

*shrug* I guess you just have bad karma then :p

Or that it's a sign of you to make a stand against people in factories having thumb/toenails :D

I call bullshit. Like the employee wouldn't notice it on the frying surface before it was ever served.

Maybe a leper?

I am a little skeptical of this myself.

How would an intact head get through the manufacturing process?
Even during a busy time, how would the intact head have made it past the fryer and into a little nugget box without being noticed?

Sounds like the whole finger in the chilli at Wendy's scam to me.

That's what I wondered. It's kind of like winning the lottery. Only instead of money you get toenails.

You get toenails and leprosy. Can't forget the leprosy.

Were you buying the oatmeal with added protien?

Maybe THATS why?

How could anyone forget the leprosy?

The fact that it's a complete head and neck screams hoax to me. Heads are lopped off of the necks, because people actually use the necks. Mostly for soup stocks and such.

Now occasionally you'll see a head still attached to neck laying on the evisceration room floor, but never in finished product. Also "nuggets" are generally made from "salvage" material. That is bits of bird that cannot be used whole, or bits off of parts that are damaged or unpackagable. The idea that a head and neck would make it into the nugget batch, make it all the way past a dozen QA and USDA inspections, and make it past the workers at the restaurant defies all sense.

Oh wow. They actually use real chicken after all. :)

hmmm...

funny... she ordered two mcnugget happy meals and yet the box shown is a 20 pc mcnugget box (which I believe they stop selling.)

Don't recognize that box, far as I know you get two 10 piece boxes now anyway. I do find it interesting the guy inside didn't notice that big breaded chicken head and removed it. But maybe he/she really didn't give a damn.

Yeah, well, for $8 an hour, would you? If this story is true, the guy probably thought it'd add some excitement to his day. :)

that's a 20 pc box. I used to buy my mcnuggets in the 20 pc size, and yeah, now you get 2 ten pc boxes.

and a happy meal mcnugget box is much, MUCH smaller.

Make that 100.000 :)

On the grounds of "GAHHHHH! A CHICKEN HEAD!" :eek:

the picture of the fried head looks SOoOooOoO fake! no one would have missed the breaded head.

im thinking that she's headed for a bad day when the truth is revealed.

besides, she didnt EAT it. she is owed $5 for having her lunch spoiled. thats it.

Yeah, well, for $8 an hour, would you? If this story is true, the guy probably thought it'd add some excitement to his day. :)

Would have been more amusing for the guy to see if the woman was so unobservant that she actually took a bite out of the thing. ;)

This is amazingly old. It never went to court because she refused to submit it for testing to see whether or not it was actually a head.

Wow, finally proof they use real chicken..
Or at least, that they want us to believe they do!

She looks familiar... wasn't she the same lady that found the chicken's foot inside the Chicken Whopper? :p

Yeah thats the question I'm driving at, on what grounds would she be awarded such a large some of money?

Punitives.

Plus something like that likely violates a whole slew of heath code regulations which probably allow for civil claims with double and treble damages

except that any germs would've been killed by the deep frying. and if it was done long enough, even the small bones would be cooked enough to be crunchy.

isn't there some people out somewhere that considers the head of the chicken to be a delicacy?

$100,000? Give her $2,000 and tell her to blow it out her ear.

I say dump a hundred thousand dollars worth of nuggets on her house.

Yeah-and some of them still share a house with her.
