Jeeze, I found a rusty hairpin in a bottle of 7-Up when I was a kid. I wondered why the pop tasted so bad until I saw the hairpin. Guess I should have sued somebody and collected $340,000 instead of just throwing it away.

What a candy a$$.

[Huck]

I just don't know how they can keep a straight face. That's a nice payday, but I'd crack up laughing from making some of those claims.

A Canadian judge would laugh at him...

"The dude should get something, but that amount is ridiculous."

He should get nothing but a free bottle of water. Perhaps we should send him to Africa where every bottle of water has flies in it. $340,000? You've got to be kidding. That could feed a Sudanese village of refugees for a year. He and his lawyer are slimy, bloated, sucker fish.

A Windsor hairstylist who suffered "recognizable psychological injury" after discovering a dead fly in a bottle of Culligan water has been awarded more than $340,000 in damages.

Yet on Fear Factor they would eat the FLY and more for the $50 grand.

But then again....

The proper response from the judge should've been: "You're kidding, right? Case dismissed on account of wussiness."

[Sax]

Ha! I always liked that old saying:

"Better put some gasoline on them socks!"

- Why?

"So the ants don't crawl up & get your candy a$$!"

[Auntbee]

Sometimes it just fits.

[ErnBatavia]

I should sue him for everything he's got...

Bue he ain't got nuffin left....he ate it after he picked it.

[MarineBrat]

If I did something like that I'm afraid that my father's bones would dig their way outta the hallowed ground and come and get me!

Where have all the cowboys gone?

[Squantos]

Evian spelled backwards is Naive isn't it........:o)

People that pay 2 dollars for a pint of yuppy water are getting the same puppy piss that comes out of the tap yet they bitch about the 2 dollar plus price of gas .....LMAO !!

Rich....rich as six foot up a bulls butt !

Lynn Mustapha vomited immediately and Martin vomited later in the evening.

Holy crap, THEY VOMITED!! I would have awarded them 340 million!

I was recently grossed out when I witnessed a coworker picking his nose

Ewwwe reading your post totally grossed me out i can no longer eat any green vegetables and my health is going to suffer as a consiqence im going to sue you for one million dollars minimum :-)

[Knute]

This is absurd! The guy is exposed to insect parts every day. Just didn't SEE them until this incident. I can justify asking for a refund on the bottle of water , but not a penny more!

[Asphalt]

reminds me of a lady that sued mcdonalds for 15 grand because of the severe physical and emotional pain she whent through when a pickle from her burger landed on her chin and supposedly gave her 3rd degree burns. he husband also sued mcdonalds for 10 grand because his wife was no longer as affectionate as she had been previously and she was no longer capable of doing the house work. They both won.

[Asphalt]

and a real loser might ask for a free 12 carton of water or something stupid, but 340,000 is a bit, er, excessive.

[GVnana]

This guy probably ate flies when he was a kid.

[F.J. Mitchell]

Well, heck, swallowing a zipper could be sorta hazardous to a person's health.

[Auntbee]

Who the he!! are the juries who award this money. I would have laughed at him.
