    GLASS! at a going away dinner for a friend/co worker. We were at Friday's and I ordered the spinach artichoke dip. Apparently the bowl it was served in chipped but no one noticed and the glass ended up in my dip!

    I bit down a a piece of a wooden skid that was in my Panera sandwich. One end was just a big spear..

    My cousin was buying those little squeeze organic apple sauce things for her kids and her son gave it to her and told her it tasted yucky. She tasted it and said it tasted boozy. So she cut it open and dumped it in a glass and it was all moldy inside. Yuck.

    I don't have any good stories really. Found a rock in a bag of beans. Butter wrapper in something I made.

    I got real picky about where I eat chinese though. There was a family that owned 2 restaurants in town. One was a buffet and the other was a carry-out/delivery place downtown. I quit eating at the restaurant after I was about to put a piece of chicken in my mouth and the whole underside of it was raw. That happens, but I never ate there again.

    The other incident...I had ordered take out one night from the other location and was eating it. While I was eating, I found a hair in my food. Naturally, I thought it was mine because it was similar in color. So I just pulled it out and tossed it (my own hair doesn't bother me...maybe it should?) and ate the rest of my food. The next day, I went to eat the leftovers and I dumped the white box on a plate and tapped it so the rice would come out. The rice came out and when I lifter the container, there was a long dark brown hair in the shape of the box stuck in the bottom of the rice. I never ate there again and now they are 1 or 2 chinese places that delivers. Blech.

    I had the unfortunate experience of finding a dead grasshopper in my salad. Lets just say I've been scarred for life.

    I once found a bone in a cheap can of chicken breast, bit into my sandwich and it was there. I no longer buy canned meat from Save A Lot or store brand canned chicken. I've never had a problem with the name brands.

    Not too strange but when my husband and I got married we went out to an expensive steak and seafood restaurant after the wedding to celebrate (JP wedding). I was about 8 weeks pregnant and new to eating seafood, I had never had lobster before (I used to hate ALL seafood before I met my husband). He ordered me a huge lobster. I broke into it like my husband showed me and baby lobster eggs spilled out. I couldn't handle it, I cried (because I was pregnant and they had just killed a mommy to be lobster for me to eat!) then threw up.

    When I was a kid, we went for milkshakes. I got a strawberry one, and for some reason didn't have the lid on my cup. It was dark and the windows were down in the car...I felt something hit me but didn't think anything of it. So, I get to the end of my milkshake, and thinking that there was a big ol strawberry in the bottom of my cup (I was sucking through the straw and could tell that something was there) I ask mom to turn on the light in the car...THANK GOD! It was a huge palmetto bug, evidently what I felt hit me. No telling what I actually did ingest of it, since I was only about halfway through the shake when it fell in...

    Ok- all of your stories have been incredibly gross, but I have one that takes the cake. While eating a can of Vienna Sausages, my Dad found the tip of someone's finger.

    I AAARRRRRGH'd out loud! WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. EFF.

    Several years ago, I was eating dinner at a restaurant/bakery that is famous locally for its desserts. I ordered a piece of dessert to go so I could enjoy it later. That evening I pulled out the boxed dessert and discovered that they had put the dessert on a plate and the plate and dessert into the to go box

    Not such a major thing compared to others here, but my friend found a huge hair in her Whopper Jr. at a Burger King many years ago. Took it up and showed the idiot at the register and she said "do you want me to pick it out for you?" :huh:

    The whole staff acted really put out when she said she expected a new one "without the hair". We had to stand there watching them make it because I'm sure they would have spit in there if we weren't looking!

    At a family barbecue we were all eating fresh salad from my mom's garden and an earwig crawled out of my sister-in-law's salad. Obviously it survived the wash and spin.....weeeeeee!

    I found a moth in bagged salad. I called the number on the bag and was informed since I did not eat it's not a problem.

    My Econ teacher use to tell us horror stories about working in a meat packing plant. He told us that the vats that they used to process the "meat" for the hotdogs was left open all night, every night, while the plant was closed. During the night, the rats would climb into it to eat, and crap all over it. In the morning, they would just scrape the top layer off, and continue with the processing. He said there is an allowable percentage of foreign matter for foods. Needless to say, it was a VERY long time before I ate a hotdog after that.
  • Years ago there was a long legged spider frozen into a packette of icing that came with Toaster Strudels. I too called the company and they sent me a bunch of coupons for free products.

    :sick: :sick: :sick: I would NEVER use those coupons, 1 spider is 1 too many. I guess it doesn't help that I'm arachnophobic!

    I have 3 stories of grossness!!!!

    Bacon egg & cheese sandwich at McDonalds - stopped on the way to High School one day and bit into it and there was BLOOD in the scrambled egg!!! Lets just say my mom took it back and threatened them pretty good, didnt get anything free. I couldnt say I would have wanted anything else!!! I didnt eat for like a week, because it made me so nauseous to think about!

    While in the Dominican Republic on a missions trip, our group all stopped at a Baskin Robbins (it was like 100+ degrees outside). I ordered a strawberry smoothie, and while drinking I noticed felt something crunchy, I couldnt chew, so I knew it wasnt ice..I spit it out and it was plastic. I then took it to the counter and they pulled out a plastic spatula out of the blender that was broken...ummmm, yeah! Who does that?!?!

    Also, found a tooth in some mashed potatoes at K&W. Yuck!!!!

    Oh. My. God. I was thinking about getting a snack. I think I will continue to read this post when I get the urge to eat something!!! YIKES!!

    I did find what looked to be pubes on my cheeseburger from Wendy's one time. That was 11 years ago, and I have yet to eat another burger from Wendys.

    A friend of mine once found a dead mouse in one of his beers when he opened it fresh from the case. It must have found its way in there and drowned in the factory before the bottles were closed.

    I LOVED Crystal Pepsi!! My hubby still jokes about how I must have been the only one who liked it :-)
    When I was a kid my mom found maggots in a box of jiff pie crust mix. ugh!

    Does anyone else remember when we were kids and there was something called Crystal Pepsi (clear pepsi that tasted delish)? Well there was a scare about people finding syringes in them. Didn't happen to us, but man was that good stuff - not sure why it went away...maybe we were the only kids drinking it...

    And apparently a certain amount of bug/rat/other debris is permitted in food :sick:

    Was it .. Elsinore beer?

    Hey we found a dead mouse in our beer eh. That means you owe us a free case.

    Yeah. OK, well, uh, we found, uh, this mouse in a bottle of YOUR BEER, eh. Like, we was at a party and, uh, a friend of ours - a COP - had some, and HE PUKED. And he said, uh, come here and get free beer or, uh, he'll press charges.

    Back in high school, I opened a Fruit & Nut chocolate bar and found, what I thought was mold, in the corner of the wrapper. After a worm crawled out of a raisin, I took a closer look and it turned out to be a nest with 2 other worms inside. Nasty.
