[Alas Babylon!]

My question is, where is the rest of the person? Have they checked (opened) ALL the other cans of chili from the plant this batch came from? There are body parts even worse than a finger to find in your food.

I feel bad for Wendy's. I used to eat there at least a couple of times a month back when I worked near one. They make great hamburgers.

I find the surname of the attorney Bo Bolus particularly apt for a digestive subject.

Officials told the public not to worry, they have a hand on the situation.

I would of felt better if they found the source; but being it is still a mystery I will forgo any Wendy's for a long while.

Back at the corporate HQ, lots of finger pointing.

[Wiggins]

At least it wasn't a big toe with hair on it . Then I would of really been grossed out.

Gross! At lunch today I noticed Wendy's and my first thought was of the finger.

I had Wendy's chilli for lunch on Monday. I hope it wasn't chilli con phalange. I'm not planning on eating there again.

It makes me seriously double think the supply chain for all of these fast food restaurants. They can't find who lost the finger.

Accidents?

It's an argument for a national DNA data bank for missing persons.

[Husker24]

Was it at least cooked?

Dave Thomas was a strong conservative. This could be a leftist setup.

Guess this finger tried to pick a winner and the "winner" picked back... NOT finger licking good (sorry KFC).

In Dave Thomas's book, he notes that Wendy's introduced Chili as a menu item in order to recycle hamburgers that had "expired" and spent too much time waiting to be sold, after cooking. After reading that, I decided to try their chili, and did about a half dozen times. Sure enough, maybe two times, I found large pieces of beef that clearly were cooked as hamburgers before being broken up into slightly larger than ideal size pieces for chili. Well, knowing that, I might not have had a problem with a piece of finger, unless it still had the bone in it. That kinda creeps me out.

Wendy's said the finger did not come from the restaurant's employees. It is also confident company suppliers are not to blame because of product coding that allows the company to trace where a product comes from, the day it was produced, when it was shipped and when it arrived at the restaurant, Lynch said.

However, he acknowledged the process was "not absolutely 100 percent perfect."

This statement is corporatese for "...except for the jillion pounds of chili we import each week from slave farms in Mexico".

Come on over to this thread and sing WINDY

[skimask]

Do you think it might be part of that guy who fell in the sausage machine?

[FarRightTexan]

This is not a surprise to me.

I got food poisoning from a Wendy's meal I consumed during March 2002. I was out of commission for two days.

[Ditter]

Wait just a minute!!!!! If "restaurant employees" are not to blame and "company suppliers" are not to blame, Who the hell cooked this stuff and WHERE did it come from??????

Sales Drop After Wendy's gives Customer the Finger.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

You don't know where that finger's been.
