Aug. 19 (UPI) -- A Wisconsin family said they were shocked to discover a live frog inside the salad they bought from a local supermarket.
Karlie Allen said her family bought the plastic container of Simple Truth Organic lettuce salad at the Pick 'n Save store in Glendale and didn't discover until inside their home that the container also housed a live frog.
Allen said her family planned to return the salad with the frog intact the next morning, but they discovered the amphibian escaped the container overnight and was perched on an outlet by the kitchen counter.
The Allens decided to put the frog outside and returned the lettuce for a refund.
Roundy's Supermarkets, Inc., Pick 'n Save's parent company, explained the situation in a statement provided to WTMJ-TV.
"These situations happen from time to time when organic products are involved. USDA Certified Organic items must be free of synthetic additives and certain pesticides," the statement said.
"Although rare, from time-to-time we do see insects and other small animals such as frogs make it through packaging with fresh produce items. In this instance, the customer returned the organic lettuce for an even exchange."
That would be a bonus, frog legs>than salad!
It’s pretty fresh if the frog’s still alive
Well done.
Our summer evenings described. You can buy a night sound thingie that makes a most excellent frog colony sound btw. I can’t remember the name of it but I can find out....
Ha ha, hands off that “should be Wisconsin”.
Lots of things can shock me, like a current day Democrat being Elected POTUS.
Finding a little Frog in a bag of Salad ranks as a funny story you tell your Grandkids.
Everything out of the ordinary nowadays is described as “shocking”. What a bunch of weak kneed fools people have become. OMG, call a Lawyer, there’s a Frog in my Salad!
In Wisconsin, folks from Illinois have a reputation. FIB.
I would appreciate it, thanks.......I really, really miss northern Michigan.........
OK. Fine. You can keep it. ;)
Fair enough! :)
That was such a great episode.
I hope they didn’t destroy a real machine.
