    I've had a few occasions where there was a shard of plastic or some other hard material like it in my food.

    Bugs in food would freak me out but on lettuce or produce, I would say it's not a big deal and probably pretty natural and common.

    In Basic Training there was an eyeball in my fish. I was so hungry and scared to say anything, I just ate around it.

    I was eating KFC coleslaw when I came across this thread and literally just threw it away because I lost my appetite lol, As for feathers still being in fried chicken...a lot would be gross yea but the occasional feather? It was deep fried, I seriously doubt any germs survived that process, pick it out and keep eating lol.

    OOPS!! LOL The thought did cross my mind that with it deep fried it probably was ok, but ummmm...NO! We ate the rest of the chicken though...that piece hit the trash can.

    Ants in the Lucky Charms - Years ago while babysitting I poured the kid and I each a bowl and thought they must've had a special edition with sprinkles....upon closer inspection, they were ants and we were eating them. :ohwell:

    OMG I forgot ANOTHER one! Staying at a friend's house for a bit and poured my bowl of cereal and began eating when I noticed ants EVERYWHERE in my bowl! *bleck*

    I was at a big meeting were they were trying to save money so they made coffee in one of those big gator aid containers.

    Well I NEED my coffee, and I went and got it.

    this was a big meeting with all sorts of people from places that I didn't know. So I drank my coffee.

    Apparently they had recently made some sort of soup in it, because at the bottom I got a big mouthful of carrots peas, beans and coffee grounds. I pretty much spit it up all over the place. it tasted like absolute garbage. The only other thing to drink was ice water.. in another gator aid container.
    I sat for half an hour wanting to puke till I realized I could just go to the bathroom and rinse my mouth out in the sink.

    Personally, I say who cares? Those insects are probably more nutritious than the food they are in! Plus, most food that we eat already has bugs and parts in them... we just don't know it. (It's allowed by the FDA.) I'm an advocate for entomophagy.

    The one that does bother me are the band-aids. Seriously... they didn't realize it fell off? Um, at least they were covering their cut??

    I worked at a sub shop in NC, Baldinos.., they made me where those blue condom look a like things over my bandaid. =|

    I used to work in food micro. And yes we were allowed to pass a certain number of insect parts and rodent hairs per sample. The number was actually alarmingly high.
    I lost so much weight working there. I once received a pack of sausage casings for testing. The sample was full of maggots. That one didn't pass.

    When I was in 4th grade though a girl next to me opened up her HOT lunch. Peeled back the foil and a huge spider crawled out of the steaming spaghetti. I have been traumatized since.

    Maggots or some other larvae in a packet of Swiss Miss. And I didn't notice until I got to the bottom of the mug.

    I got a slice of pizza once from a Wal-Mart food court and found one of those little silica gel packs (found in medicine bottles to absorb moisture) under a pepperoni! I talked to the manager about it who didn't see what the big deal was; he just told me to throw it away!

    They put those in lots of things. Including bags of sliced pepperoni.

    Ok, totally gross.... I went to a chinese buffet one time and got a huge pile of fried rice. I always used a large spoon to scoop the rice because I'm clumsy and wanted to basically shovel food in my face (pre-MFP days). I take the first huge scoop and in the rice there's a giant cockroach, on it's back... legs flailing because I'm sure I whapped it with the spoon while it was trying to get it's grub on as well. Had the people I was with go get the manager, but before they could get there, the roach died.... in my rice.... OMG :sick:

    When I was young my parents ordered pizza, my slice had a nice blue thumb tack (push pin) baked in it. I bit down on it and it stabbed my gum.
    My dad, PO'd, called the place and the guy says,....these things happen and hung up on him???:huh:

    Well, you can't call him a liar.

    Oh, one time, a girlfriend and I were about to have wine and spaghetti at her house. She opened a can of prego, and there was a small, tomato covered, dead rat. I had been telling her all afternoon that was not real spaghetti, she should have listened.

    A bee in a can of LaChoy Chicken Chow Mein.

    A friend found larva in Hershey's Kisses. She contacted them and they sent her coupons. Sadly, it seems to be a common occurrence for them.

    This wasn't me but my friend found a dead grasshopper in her salad. It was also a fast food place but can't remember which one.

    Nice.

    I had a co-worker who found a band aid in his burrito at Chipotle.

    My hubby found a band aid in his salad at a hotel restaurant. Very gross,...and the restaurant refused to comp the meal!!
