I'd suggest take your medication as prescribed....... :-)

[Huck]

Weird. I'd take a shower, to be on the safe side. Then I'd choose another market.

[Lee Heggy]

You are either cursed or need to find a new grocery store.

[goodnesswins]

I'd move....your neighborhood grocery store must have lots of people roaming the isles with nothing better to do than attack the food.

[mystery-ak]

....someone's after you....do you have any reynolds wrap?

[homeschool mama]

I purchased a package of high quality bread (not the 'no name' brand), opened it up only to find mouse droppings. I returned it to the market and was reimbursed.

Things like that happen...it just happened to you 3 fold. :o/ Bummer.

I like your homepage...I was a caterer (The Spring Chicken) but now cater to my family, too. Nice to meet you.

[aShepard]

Interesting!

Last week I threw out pasta sauce, jelly, and something else that the wife had recently bought, as someone had opened the jars, and the green thingies were on the inside. Was going to take them back to the market, but had no saved receipts!

[kaylar]

Is this a chain or an independent store? If it's a chain, I'd contact the corporate headquarters, and send them a letter explaining that the Orlanda store at such-and-such address "blows off" consumer reports of product tampering.

I would also contact the bread and soda companies. Most likely , it's sheer coincidence that you got two effed up pieces of produce, but it's just barely conceivable that there is something more going on here, and this was a test run. Not necessarily terrorism, though...Remember the tylenol killings?

As for the pudding pamphlet, that's probably nothing. There are people out there who do nothing but run around sticking that stuff into magazines for sell, produce, library books...This is especially true of Jack Chick's stuff.

"found that a large black foreign object had been baked into the loaf"

Did it have a tail, four little feets, and some little pink ears?

[gridlock]

Interesting. It would be a vulnerable point of attack.

One thing I like about FR is that you get unedited information that helps you build awareness about what is going on. You would have to have hundreds dead before CNN would pick up on a story like this.

Meanwhile, this ramps up the paranoia generator another notch. Not that that's a bad thing.

Remember, shiny side out!

[Quix]

Uhhhhh,

Did the Christian prayer cards . . .

cause you to lose sleep?

cause you to break out in hives?

cause you to lose your false teeth?

cause you to become a Dumbocrat?

cause you to lose your lunch?

I don't know if pudding manufacturers are Christian or not. Maybe they sell advertising space? Even if they are Christian and choose to package their products that way--you certainly can choose a more satanic pudding manufacturer, if you wish. Last I checked, there are many pudding brands available.

Perhaps a bit more seriously--3 items altered per your expectations does seem a bit odd. But not THAT odd. Coincidences happen in a nation with such a large population. The empty can is worth following up on for a refund I suppose.

Guess I wouldn't lose any sleep over any of it.

[Rebelbase]

I smoked a chicken a few months ago that had green meat inside.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

In a package of pudding cups I bought I found that religious prayer cards (christian) had been inserted inside.

"The proof is in the pudding."

[js1138]

OK, one by one. The religious tract is just that, something done by someone with no manners.

The soda can could have been punctured in transit. Lots of stuff gets damaged by box cutters, not just skyscrapers.

The bread thing is truely weird. All three together, strange.

I see tampered products on the shelf all the time. Some folks just open stuff and leave it. Disgusting. And sometims a whole shelf of soda looks and feels like one of the bottles spewed all over.

[inflorida]

Last week I was in a local Orlando grocery store and almost bought a package of chicken until I saw that the sell by date was 07/01/2000. I checked the other packages and a number of them also had that sell by date. I wonder if they ever sold them...

[paul51]

I know what you mean. I've found all kinds of bad food in my refrigerator. And it could have been in there for months before I discovered it.

[Junior]

Someone hates you.

[varon]

.........and the next can in my pack was completely EMPTY.

Can't quite equate EMPTY with CONTAMINATED.

[Experiment 6-2-6]

Hmmm. There is this movie called "CORNDOG MAN", where an individual is constantly harassed, seemingly at random, but by the same person through different methods. All to the effect that you see the physical and personality changes induced by the stalker..

On second thought, maybe you SHOULDN'T see the movie, but instead get out of Orlando as soon as possible, perhaps moving to an island in the middle of the South Pacific in dire need of chefs, professional or otherwise..

[Cold Heat]

Bad things happen in three's!

You should see my collection of empty intact beer cans! LOL!
