Clif Bars now include a special bonus!

jonnythan

I was finishing up a Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch Clif Bar a little while ago. I love Cif Bars and this is one of my favorite flavors. On the last bite I felt something a little chewy that I couldn't quite get through. I pulled it out and swallowed what was left in my mouth.

I sat staring at this item for about 5 minutes.

I eventually went to the bathroom and washed it off in the sink. Turns out it was a torn strip of cloth, about 3" long. Stretchy, woven, looks like it used to be white. Looks like it used to be...... a piece of gauze.

A piece of gauze with a reddish brown coloration that doesn't quite match the Clif Bar it was in. I took a pic of it, but won't embed the image for the sake of your stomachs: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12873062/mfp/3.jpg

So, hey. That's cool. The friendly guys at Clif have decided to start including little special bonuses with some Clif Bars. So it's kind of like I won.

But anyway. The real question I have is: is it organic? I'd hate to think that if Clif were going to include used bandages inside their products, they'd at least eco-friendly Certified Organic used bandages, right? Am I worrying over nothing?

It is not organic. The blood is, but the gauze is not.

Aw man, I sometimes pick up the Clif Builder's bars when I need a boost. I wonder how many special bonuses I accidently swallowed?! Gosh darned it.

**mental note** never buying clif products again. lol so gross.

Carnivor0us

Uhhhhhhh....that looks exactly like someone's bandage....with some extra iron.

EmilyEmpowered

If something feels off texture-wise, I normally spit it out in the trash without looking. This is so disgusting :sick:

mcgeorge5

oh why oh why must I be a nosey curious sort? I did not really want to look at that....

Agreed. :sick:

Keiras_Mom

I find stuff in my food all the time. I have to say though, that may be among the worst! Looks like coflex to me, which is designed to stay on, which makes it even more disturbing.

Omg..

It's all organic - no worries OP

Looking kind of like a tampon.

about as good a source a protein as the soy in them.

In one of my science magazines at sixth form there was something about food contamination and some guy sent in a picture of the loaf of bread he bought from the shop which came with an added extra.
The tip of someones thumb......turned out they were untrained and had got it caught in the machinery...ewww

all organic, cotton, blood and whatnot. However you should write them a letter. ONe time i wrote popsicle company a heads up that some pop sticks were broken and unsafe for the kiddo's just as an FYI and they sent me vouchers for free popsicles. maybe you can get some free gauze bars out of this.

SuperSexyDork

Ew. :sick:

That sucks.

Ladydrake12

OMG, I get nauseous just thinking about that.

ReadynWillin

:sick: I don't even.

I'd say glad I don't eat cliff bars, but really, there's no telling what goes on at *any* processing plant...

I used to work at a printshop warehouse. I'd bleed all over the paper before I could manage to bandage my latest paper cuts. That was an average day of work. But in the food industry--I don't want to think about it.

metaphoria

Mmmmmm hepatitis.

Update: they are sending me a free box and have requested the, uh, object.

Gonna have to tell em it didn't even occur to me to keep it.

jennifer_417

I can't...*herk*

CeleryStalker

You're handling this a lot more calmly than I think I could. Ugh. That pic was just out of this world disgusting. Between my kids and my husband, we're about a box a week Clif bar family. gag.....
