Now, if you want a do-it-yourself fresh fish sandwich, this is the place.

When I was younger, in the 1970s or 1980s, this was the rumor about McDonald’s - that it was worms, not beef.

The white one looks like a maggot - fly larva. The brown one looks like you may get on lettuce (came with the lettuce and I assume from the field).

I actually can understand the brown one but have a hard time imagining how the maggot would be served with a burger.

“Owner-operator of the two restaurants, says inspections ...”

Whatever. Just announce loudly that both stores will be shut down for three days, professional cleaners will enter in the mornings and inspectors in the evenings, and then re-open the stores. No big deal. People who eat at McDonalds really don’t want problems at their local hangout. And all McDonalds need a thorough cleaning, especially the coffee machines.

What people fail to realize is that they are going to be fighting over the worms in their food in hillary’s gulags.

GO TRUMP!!!

I’m speaking from direct experience in THE BIGGEST market in the entire country for these slop joint franchises. How about you?

Ya think it’s a secret foreigners including hundreds of thousands of Muslims/Mid-easterners are entering this country with big cash$$ and buying up everything most Americans can no longer afford?

Get real. Maybe it’s time you reboot.

Considering the quality of industrial hamburger, that probably doubled the protein content!

Beginning to look like someone was looking for a big payday. You would think they would have kept the evidence.

I once opened a can of coke and took a swig, thought "hmm this tasts off" and took a second taste and an entire whole cockroach washed into my mouth. Sealed in the can. I spit it out and called coke, they offered me a free case of coke.

I'm not the suing kind and I wasn't actually harmed (being grossed out doesn't count) so I didn't try to extort a payday out of them. Maybe I'm just naive and should have played "the game". In my case at least it was real.

That whole story sounded virtually impossible to me...I can’t believe that a small worn could survive being grilled at temperatures which cooked beef patties. The worm didn’t drop out when the employee took it off the grill and placed it on the bun, nor when the special sauce, cheese, onion were placed on it....only just at the moment they were about to consume it.....what are the odds??????

years ago I stopped going to those places for multiple reasons. They’re filthy, their food is no good for ya, and the help they hire will readily tamper with the food.

Can you spell paranoid??

B.S....I am experienced enough with the mechanics connected with the canning process (in a brewery) that it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE for a cockroach to have been in your drink....the odds and between zero and zero.

Yes I can. Are you able to distinguish the difference between fantasy and reality? And if ya think fast food slop is somehow good for you, by all means, bon appetit!

Truth sounds like hate to those who hate truth.
