A woman who ordered chili at a San Jose (California) Wendy's Restaurant found a cooked human finger in her bowl.
The Wendy's on Monterey Highway was still open Thursday while the Santa Clara County Health Department investigated. But officials there said it was definitely a human finger -- complete with a long manicured fingernail -- and it probably did not come from a Bay Area Wendy's employee.
"We have no evidence of any accident within the employees at the facility itself," said Ben Gale of the Santa Clara County Health Department. "We've asked everybody to show us they have ten fingers and everything is OK there."
The incident came to light about 7:20pm Wednesday, when the woman called 911.
"Initially she did put this object in her mouth and did bite down on it," said Dr. Marty Fensterscheib of the Santa Clara County Health Department. "Initially, she was a bit grossed out ... and vomited a number of times."
The fingerprint is mutilated, but officials believe there might be enough there to run the print through a national computer to try to find the owner. The finger has jagged edges, which means it was likely lacerated by a machine -- possibly a meat grinder.
The health department says Wednesday's batch of chili was likely cooked at a hot enough temperature to kill any diseases, so nobody should get sick from eating there. Health officials are trying to trace where the ingredients came from, but they've decided it's OK for the store to remain open in the meantime.
"We are as anxious as anyone else to get to the bottom of this," said Wendy's spokesperson Bob Bertini.

I told you there was something dodgy about this story. I read in the paper the other day that this same woman has tried to file two other claims for similarly dodgy stories.
I joined the secret forum, and all I got was this lousy secret

The Wendy's finger story keeps going. Now the police have searched the home of the woman that found the finger.

That must have been an entertaining country club newsletter to write.

"Cracked one out"? Is that a quaint British term?
darwin, you are forever the intrepid scientist, so I must
answer your question for the sake of science.
He was caught mid-act and confessed that he'd
been masturbating on a regular basis into the lettuce
of the country club kitchen. Which quickly explained
a bunch of things.
Gross, huh?

How does one figure out that someone has masturbated in one's salad?
Maybe that's a stupid question. But did she know at the time (after a bite) or did a SWAT team from the CDC later swoop in and figure it out using DNA fingerprinting? I really do want to know. |

He got fired. It was at one of the toniest, chi-chi-est
country clubs in the US, too. Totally random. She missed
half a year of school. Totally gross.

(Note to self: start a "What weird things have you found
in your food" thread. Include story about college
friend who missed six months of school after
country club bus boy masturbated into salad, giving
her hepatitis; also, story about biting into sandwich
in Montreal restaurant and finding a big square of
plastic wrap. Don't forget to add story about finding
fish hook (YIKES!) in taramosalata at a Greek
restaurant or SHARDS OF GLASS in mousaka
at a Cypriot restaurant.)

Homers_pet_monkey, I burned the coupons in protest, along with the Wal-Mart advertisements that I regularly receive in the mail. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Kellogg's is as bad a corporate citizen as Wal-Mart, however, refusing to take the time to properly inspect your product is a step towards that slippery slope. |

I am not saying the story isn't true, just that I can't believe she bit into a whole finger without noticing it first. Unless it was the smallest finger in the world.

Oldman, if you are not gonna use them, could you please send me those coupons?
What I find strange about this story is the fact that she bit into the finger in the first place. How the hell do you miss a human finger in your food? I mean come on, she is clearly telling a few fibs here. She didn't bite into it at all.

Here are two more distasteful culinary experiences.
While eating a bowl of Kellogg's "Smart Start" cereal my son found what appeared to be a small moth in his cereal. Well, the box was almost finished and we assumed it had been left open from time to time and the moth had somehow got into the cereal that way. A couple of weeks later, my wife was eating a bowl of Kellogg's "Smart Start" cereal and found numerous small moths floating in her cereal (they were the same color as most of the ingredients and were difficult to see). Upon closer examination of the cereal box, we found a nest of moths inside the top corner of the plastic bag. Of course, I called Kellogg's to complain, and I was told that they did everything possible to keep bugs out of the cereal, but, they couldn't guarantee that every once in a while the plastic bags containing the cereal could become infested with moths or other insects. And, "sorry for the inconvenience, may we have your address so that we can send you some free coupons". I not so politely declined the coupons and informed the lady that if Kellogg's couldn't examine every plastic bag of cereal for moth infestations, then I couldn't buy Kellogg's cereal again.
They sent the coupons anyway, but I haven't and will not buy Kellogg's again.
The other experience: while eating jambalaya at a local Cajun Restaurant, I bit into something sharp, and when I spit it out, I saw that it appeared to be a toe-nail clipping, a rather large, big toe  clipping.

I saw a wire story about this in my local paper, then
I googled it. There are several versions of it out there.
It got picked up by a few news agencies, for obvious
reasons.
