Found a deep-fried corn-worm in my bag of Tostitos--can I sue?

[smoogatz]

I mean, I'm traumatized. Really.

1. They are trying to add to the protien content of the Tostitos

Which, is probably pretty low.

2. Get a lawyer and take 'em to the cleaners, baby

Emotional distress can scar you for life

[nytemare]

3. Does the corn worm look like Jesus, or Mary?

Then, you could really make some bucks.

[smoogatz]

5. It might resemble a deity to other corn-worms

hard to say.

4. This reminds me of an actual headline I read a couple months ago:

"Florida Girls Say MMMM-Azing Bar Contained MMMMaggots"

6. lol...you gotta respect a newspaper editor with a sense of humor

7. I bought some rice-a-roni once that had bugs in it

I called the 800 number to complain and they send me 5 coupons for free rice-a-roni. So that may be a cheaper option than suing and more fruitful.

Good luck!

8. You would have to find a lawyer to take your case on a contingency

fee basis which means his/her payment would be dependent on how much money you received from a settlement or from a jury award. So, unless you are willing to go to a therapist for several years as a result of being traumatized and are willing to undergo the scrutiny of a defense expert, I would say to let it go.

Then again, there was a case where a dead mouse was found in maple syrup - but I think those people didn't see the mouse and actually became ill from using the syrup.

9. Don't be silly, you won the contest!

A deep-fried corn worm is the Golden Ticket! You and your grandfather get to tour Frito-Lay and will end up running the factory!




I hope for your sake there are no Oompa-Loompas working there, though. Those little buggers creep me out, big time.

Now a bottle of Tequila is one thing, but your chips??? :scared:

11. Gross Gross Gross Gross Gross Gross Gross Gross Gross

[Delarage]

12. The worm's family might have a case.......

gross negligence at the factory. Now who will raise the little worms at home?

13. I found a cooked bug once in a can of DelMonte

peas. I took it back to the store. The store gave me a $100 gift certificate and DelMonte gave me a years supply of free veggies (not kidding-I had thirty cans a month for a year) plus a letter of apology.

14. You should be thankful that they're now including a little protein.

15. Was it missing a finger?
