Just heard a "this just in" flash on KFI AM640 in Los Angeles that the police in Las Vegas have executed a search warrant on the home of the woman who found a finger in her Wendy's chili. Police suspect the finger may that of the woman's dead aunt.
Maybe the aunt's will specified that her opportunistic, moneygrubbing niece was to get the finger?
If she did cut off the finger at the viewing then the niece would have premeditated this as most people don't carry pruning shears around with them.
finger NAILED!
Any leftover patties are turned into Chili.
In college, I was a manager at Burger King. A woman came into the drive-thru claiming she had a peice a metal in her Whopper. Indeed, there was a small sliver of silver metal, which looked like it came from a brillo-type scouring pad, in the mayo and lettuce.
Unfortunately for her, we didn't use brillo ANYWHERE in the store and hadn't in all the time I worked there. We didn't use anything that looked like it. She was happy with a new Whopper and went on her way.
Sure, but if it had been in something you didn't like or were unfamiliar with, that would have been it, there is no way that any more of *that* was ever going to pass your lips again in this lifetime.
I dunno, maybe camping as a kid got me past some of the squeamishness about eating a little extra protein with my food. I can't say I have any bug eating moments, but I'm sure there had to have been some along the way. I mean, I know that bugs taste a little bit sour, but never remember actually tasting any.
Still, there was that time when my mom fed a friend of mine crackers for her soup & as she was putting them away, she noticed the package was over run with little red ants.
So I can eat Wendy's chili again?
I am the first freeper who predicted/called this when the story was initially posted
Gee should we call you Buckhead? LOL, Johnny show him what he's won.
I give this theory two thumbs down.
OTOH, losing the finger that way would indeed be a shear coincidence. Sharp of you to notice.
now thats funny...
Did you read The Other by Thomas Tryon?
now thats funny...
Aren't there only something like 7 mitochondria lines in the world?
I probably would definitely have noticed had I eaten half of the beetle, as I am told, like you said, that bugs taste sour. I'm thinking the bug was cut in half by mom when she put it on my plate.
Mom used to give us chicken noodle soup from the can when we were sick. To this day, 40-some years later, I don't like canned chicken noodle soup.
Got the e-mail a couple years ago and I just HAD to dig this up, funny stuff. Here is one version of it I found (some vary slightly). Here we go:
The notes are from an inexperienced Chili taster named Frank, who was visiting Texas from the East Coast:
Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off.
The Judge #3 called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking for directions to the Budweiser truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, so I accepted".
Here are the scorecards from the event:
This is the Wendy's closest to my house. Hoping Wendy's is vindicated.
Cripplecreek deserves the praise--I was a mere LOLing bystander.
I don't know. I'm sure there are some Freepers who could tell you.
Give him a hand ladies and gentlemen.
Hi neighbor!
Um, I don't think so...

Even if they don't actually prove it's auntie's finger (by exhumation or finding the print in a database), it sounds like the DNA evidence is going to be good enough to demolish any case against Wendy's. And hopefully good enough to put her in the can for a stretch.
We used to eat the chicken noodle soup with straws. The noodles were a trip. :o)
