CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. - A Pennsylvania woman says she realized there was a bird in her can of spinach when she noticed a yellow beak in a lump of greens.
"I immediately felt like I was going to vomit," Cherie Lyons, of Chambersburg, told the York Daily Record. "I was sick for the next whole day."
Lyons said she found the bird June 14 after pouring the spinach into a bowl.
Lyons told the Daily Record she felt mistreated after calling Del Monte. She was offered a $10 check and a request for the bird to be sent back.

Filipino. Most spinach comes from California, though, and Del Monte is still headquartered there. Time to ban California products! ;)
Firstly: she is eating canned spinach. Who the hell does that?. So it’s got a dead bird in the can. How could that make it any more horrifying than it already is. The very nature of canned spinach is horror and sadness. Add a dead bird and you want to complain? I simply cannot process the cognitive dissonance.
LOL - Careful - democrats will come after you for speaking the truth...
They used to feed us canned spinach in school lunches in the 1950s-60s. It was vile, but some kids liked it and I guess it stayed with the ones who did.
Nearly zero chance of this.
Sounds like a shakedown attempt
Ten bucks! People will be lining up to buy spinach now!
I picked up my dad's habit of putting vinegar into spinach (either canned or fresh) after it was cooked. I still like to eat my spinach that way.
He also got me started on putting vinegar into navy bean soup ...
A one time, eating sparrow was common.
Here’s a snip i found:
“....A German woman on Third Avenue has three traps set every day, and she catches probably seventy five a week. They are cooked and served to her boarders the same as reed birds and are declared quite as great a delicacy,,,”

When I was a kid Wednesday was icecream day at pre K. It was also canned spinach day. You had to eat the spinach to get the ice cream. I NEVER got the icecream. I would not subject myself to the tyranny of witheld icecream. Give me liberty from spinach or give me no icecream was the motto of freedom loving kids. The horrific nature of green slimy canned snot haunts me to this very day. I am 50 years old.
When I was in college I opened a can of coke, drank a bit and thought it tasted weird, sort of had a mountain dewish vibe (which I hate). On my third swig something washed into my mouth. An entire cockroach.
Now Coke did the same thing. "You know, the law allows us to have a certain amount of insect parts so it was totally legal but we don't ever want to have any. send us the can with the roach so we can run tests and we'll give you a case of soda for your trouble". I thought that sounded weak but my dad said "were there witnesses? If not, you won't get anything. Just take the case of coke" which I did. Mistake.
By the way, the law says something like you can have something minute like one insect egg in a million gallons of coke, anything more is totally illegal. An entire cockroach? Yeah, they should have paid to keep that one quiet.

Thanks for the corrections.
(Now, about that feather-like spinach leaf in that can I opened the other day...)
;-)
“I picked up my dad’s habit of putting vinegar into spinach”
Same here.
That joke’s a lot older than Fawlty Towers.
No wonder you switched to Pepsi.
