Here is video of a High School Science teacher who went to McDonald's for breakfast and wound up with a baby scorpion in his bag along with a sandwich! Arizona teacher Jeff Tallman said he ordered an Egg McMuffin and when we went to get a napkin out of his bag he saw a scorpion inside! It's a good thing he didn't just stick his hand in the bag. The video shows the scorpion inside the bag.

Lesson: Always look inside the bag! . . . .(Watch Video)

A side order of scorpions should always be cooked well.

An epicure, dining at Crewe,
Found quite a large mouse in his stew;
Said the waiter: “Don’t shout
And wave it about,
Or the rest will be wanting one, too!”

If it was a chinese restaurant,it would have been deep-fried.I’m always amused when people who live in
states with flora and fauna like scorpions are shocked,when
they end up interacting with nature!

I've a question: why is an Egg McMuffin called a "sandwich"? It must be an American thing. Why is a Big Mac called a "sandwich" -- it ain't a samwich, it's a BURGER! A HAMBURGER, to be precise, or a DOUBLE HAMBURGER to be 100% accurate. A McChicken ain't a samwich: it's a CHICKEN BURGER. A Filet O'Fish ain't a samwich: it's a FISHBURGER. And an Egg McMuffin ain't a samwich either: it's an ENGLISH MUFFIN. Samwiches you can get at SubWay. They're made with bread and aren't round.

The only time I saw scorpion while stationed at Navy Dallas was when we opened the power trench from the vault to the GCA unit. (A shallow 8” deep concrete trench coverd by steel plate .. it fed the three phase 00000 3/4 inch cable power cables to the radar unit)

Hunnerds of em .. they liked dark obscure spots .. very seldom saw one out in the open. the minute the steel grates were lifted it was arm pits and hiney holes sucking wind.

Doubt the story is anything but a setup, but I get scorpions in the house from time to time and they give me the willies!

You mean they didn't charge him extra for the scorpion?

Free scorpions at Macky Dee's?

How long does this offer last?

The McDonalds in Panama City, FL. as well as other locations in the South offer sweetened iced tea as well as unsweetened.

A couple weeks ago, going through the drive-thru I asked for unsweetened tea and the girl at the window said they were out of unsweetened....so I said "Just give me a sweetened tea then and a couple of those little packets of 'unsweetener'.

She left the window and actually went to see if they had any bags of unsweetener........turns out they were out, but were going to try to order some.

Scorpions are quite common in AZ and a stack of paper bags or napkins would be a cozy spot for one. When I lived out there I checked my shoes every time I put them on. You never know when or where you would run into one of those critters.

If you have ever been bitten by a scorpion you will never, ever, forget it. I was bitten on the back of the hand once and I swear I considered cutting it off to stop the pain. Damn that hurt.

Soon there will be an influx of trial attorneys to Mac Donalds in AZ. After a $10M settlement the requirement for bags to have printed warnings “Scorpions may be found inside” will be implemented. The Dollar menu will then become the $3 menu.

I found one in a sucker out there last week (but it looks like they put it there on purpose). I think those folks in Arizona believe these things are a “snack” ... so we shouldn’t be surprised. Now if that happened in NYC, then that’s news ... Arizona? (move along, nothing to see here).
