To some people, earbuds are life.

Girl was probably just trying to enjoy some Modern English on the job when one of her earbuds fell out and dropped right into the deep fryer. And then, reportedly, she reached in to try to get it out.

Believe it or not, the woman suffered burns to her hand and was treated by an EMS crew and promptly transported to the hospital.

I don't know about you, but I'm gonna go ahead and just assume they cleaned out that fryer.

Lol, that went right over my head. 😂

So did she get her earbud back or not?

When I was a teenager, early 70’s and worked at Krystal, one of my jobs was to drain and replace the lard in the deep fryers every Saturday morning.............
