NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A woman claims that her 89-year-old mother spooned a dead mouse into her mouth from a bowl of Campbell's bean with bacon soup.
A Campbell Soup Co. spokesman said Wednesday that the company would like to examine the can and its contents, which the family says it stored in a freezer, along with the mouse.
Company spokesman John Faulkner said it's unlikely a mouse got into the can during manufacturing. Production is closely monitored at the Maxton, N.C., plant where the soup was made, he said.
Authorities said the Jan. 26 incident in Erwin, about 250 miles east of Nashville, has been reported to the federal Agriculture Department for investigation.
Phyllis Ingram said she believes the mouse allegedly found by her mother, Pearl Parkey, was in the can and could not have gotten into the pot of soup any other way.
I knew a couple guys who tried that with a mouse in a beer bottle, and they ended up getting jobs at the brewery, eh.
Where are the McKinzie brother when you need them?
Would she be happier if it had been alive? Some people just can't be pleased.
"Shh keep it down or else everyone else will want one."
Yeah that's them. Like, they came over to my hoose and drank all my beer one time, eh. They still owe me a two-four a moosehead, eh.
A case of soup factory felching gone bad?
Lying sack of crap...er...soup...
Well the can said chunky...................
