Angry_Gumball Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 I just saw on the news tonight that a human finger was found in one of the Wendy's Chili. The lady eating it noticed something crunchy (Ok...I'm now grossed out while I type) and found a finger in it. This was in San Jose, Cali. What are your thoughts?
robbalvey Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 How much extra did she have to pay? --Robb "Sounds like it's an extra value menu item to me." Alvey
Meteornotes Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 I thought you could now get a choice of human fingers, fries, or a selection of rabid bugs as you side choice... Dave "I may have misheard the commercial, though" Thomas
XLRBR Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 That is down right di-sgust-ing. I'm puking right now. BLEH!!(j/j) --Davon "I don't eat Wendy's chili anyway" Dorsey
robbalvey Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 Just so everyone knows it's real, here is the story: Wendy's diner finds human finger in her chili http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/03/24/FINGER.TMP And in other related news: Wendy's Enhances Combo Meal Program To Give Consumers More Choices http://www.wendys.com/news/2004/1206.shtml However, I agree with Dave Thomas (the guy who posts here, not the dead Wendy's guy) that this is just a marketing gimmick for new food options! --Robb "Hey...maybe it was Dave Thomas' finger!" Alvey
Sir Clinksalot Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 I wonder if it was his middle finger, giving the big F-U to the bastardization of Wendy's ...
CoasterCrazy Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 This is why I stopped eating at Wendy's about 8 years ago. Macdonalds is one of the best places to eat if you are in a rush or in a town that you don't know well.
Meteornotes Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 Nope, not my finger. I need them for grabbing things and tossing them and other tasks. Of course, it could be the dead DT's finger. But if that's the case, they really missed out on an amazing marketing opportunity. They could have held a "Find The Founder's Finger" contest, and the person that found it in some Wendy's food could have been elegabled for valuble cash and prizes. Just another reason why big companies should really contact me for really unique marketing ideas... dt
Scaparri Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 I know somebody that found bloody gauze in there chicken nugget years ago. Seems like Wendy's has a issue with biohazards.
robbalvey Posted March 24, 2005 Posted March 24, 2005 This is why I stopped eating at Wendy's about 8 years ago. See...I dunno....I think that's kind of a lame excuse to "stop eating someplace." Would you stop going on Superman: Ride of Steel because someone died on it? Do you not fly on airplanes because some of them have crashed? Do you not drive a car because there are accidents on the interstate? If you don't like the food, that's one thing, but to stop eating someplace because they had a mishap, IMO, that's really stupid. --Robb
Angry_Gumball Posted March 24, 2005 Author Posted March 24, 2005 Thinking about this, I'd have to agree w/ Robb here. Yes, I'm grossed out by it but this can easily happen in food we buy at the store. So are we going to starve ourselves due to a mishap? This is gross though...I wonder how a finger would have gotten in the chili without knowing.
Real Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 But are you 100% sure it was their food that made them sick? Could they possibly have had a bug in their system and food triggered it? You cant dispute that really. How many times have you been feeling ok, then, ate something, thrown up then realized you had the flu? Not to say it cant happen, but I am willing to be every single fast food chain has had someone get sick. No ones perfect, someone can easily put the stuff in wrong, mix wrong ingredients, etc. I know its all been dumbified, but people still find a way. I am trying to stay away mearly to get more in shape. Im sure it hasnt helped me much lately.
Homer Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Geez, what is it with Wendys? 2 months ago I hear of a box cutter being in a kids meal, now human fingers? -Carl "Wendy's suck, except for their freezie's" F.
CstrzRock Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 There was a story here a while ago about a fast food chain... someone found a rusty nail in their orange juice. Avoid Hostess too... i witnessed my friend finding a live worm in her chocolate chip mini muffin... not the greatest experience...
Real Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Dude, worms are nothing but protien!! Turned that muffin into one nutritious meal! (not joking...but, dont know if Id eat it personally, know someone who would)
Hattuchili Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 All these storys are sounding awful. When I hear that, then I think it is better to stay at home and eat your own made stuff. --Soeren
Angry_Gumball Posted March 25, 2005 Author Posted March 25, 2005 Just watch what you buy Speaking of worms, I remember a while back seeing this maggat thingy squirming in someone's chicken nugget in a school lunch.
Justin Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. This was on "Yahoo Strange News!" Thats it folks.... No lie.... Justin"I always liked it when they gave you more for your money"Sailors
outlaw Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Stuff like that happens more then anyone thinks. Just yesterday I was stocking at my retail job and off the truck came a box with a real turd (smell and all) stuck the side of the box. Who would have done this, and why, but it certaintly was interestign and gross at the same time.
alpengeistdude321 Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 How did the finger get in the chili? It must have been...MURDER .
FlyingScooter Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Here's my thought. All restaurants have roaches and mice. Doesn't matter how often you exterminate, where large amounts of food are concerned, they can't be avoided. Here's the differance: I go into a restaurant and 'see' a roach while i'm eating and i will not go back there. I know they have them, i just don't want to see them. Same goes for finding a hair in my food. Every FF joint i worked at made some people sick. It happens. But when it comes to body parts... That's beyond gross. I stay away from FF joints. My system will not take that kind of food anymore. It was fine for the first 30 years, but at 42, that food doesn't like me.
Token Yankee Guy Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 Would you stop going on Superman: Ride of Steel because someone died on it? Do you not fly on airplanes because some of them have crashed? Do you not drive a car because there are accidents on the interstate? My roommate stopped going on Superman. Well, he was in the station and he was about to ride superman for the first time and then he saw the accident happen. Steered him clear away from riding roller coasters. Even I can't make him ride one, he won't budge.

FlyingScooter Posted March 25, 2005 Posted March 25, 2005 I wonder if Wendy's is going to launch the 'Where's the Beef?" ads again? i know, bad joke...
