Something weird just happened

[OzarkDem]

I don't mean to gross anyone out. I got off work late, picked up a salad at MacDonalds, got home and began to eat and found a huge grasshopper in it. (dead of course)



I called the restaurant and told them. They said to bring it by and they would give me a free meal (no thanks, I'm done with fast food for a while).

Should I report it to the health department?

[crim son]

1. Not really.

Really? :puke:

[SPKrazy]

2. It's A Sign Of The Plague

report it to raptureready.com


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[OzarkDem]

5. So next it will be locusts?

Weird thing, I have a meeting at the state health department tomorrow, for other reasons. I should bring it along. :rofl:

[SPKrazy]

8. Oh, BTW, I Found This In My Salad

you should do it

are you in the Ozarks as in Missouri, or Arkansas?

:hi:

[OzarkDem]

12. No, Ohio actually

Born in Ozarks.

[SPKrazy]

16. Cool, I Just Wondered

I live in Arkansas

:pals:

[OzarkDem]

25. Fellow Ozarkers

:pals:

I plan to move back when its time to retire. Plenty of grasshoppers there for bass fishing.

[SPKrazy]

28. Plenty fer shur!

:patriot:

3. Seriously, how does a grasshopper get in a fast food's

salad? Poor processing?



Blue

[OzarkDem]

9. I think so

Didn't they say the e coli outbreak was because the produce farms are processing food out in the fields these days instead of taking it to buildings for washing and packaging?

It may pay to look closer at produce these days.

:yoiks:

[BlueStorm]

18. And deregulation... n/t

[evlbstrd]

4. Was it cooked?

I hear they taste lke chicken.

[SPKrazy]

7. Cover It With Chocolate

anything covered in Chocolate is good?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[OzarkDem]

11. I was considering it

putting it in with the Christmas candy.

[SPKrazy]

17. OMG

give it to someone you really can't stand!

:rofl: :rofl:

or let me!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[evlbstrd]

13. Then put it on a stick!

[OzarkDem]

15. Well it is covered in ranch dressing n/t

[evlbstrd]

20. No I'm hungry.

[Rosemary2205]

6. I'd call the health dept

mainly to get it on record. It was probably mixed in with the pre-processed produce, not on the store end. IMHO every single time anything with food happens we need to have a public snork. Hopefully will force congress to not only put the number of inspectors we used to have out there but maybe even increase it even more than that.

I'd also call the McD's 800# and let them know so they can look at their production system. They do have their own growers and processors.

[OzarkDem]

14. I think I will

Every week its another news report on bad produce and food processing. There's no real food inspection anymore.

[BarenakedLady]

10. Ewwwww

I was feeling a bit hungry....thank you for clearing that up. :)

[SPKrazy]

24. What's The Matter, Grasshopper!

when you can snatch the pebble from my hand you are ready.


:puke:

19. for what it's worth, I wouldn't worry about it....

I know people freak out about insects, and some are worth freaking out about, but it's really unlikely that a grasshopper could effect your food in any serious way. They like salad too. That's about the extent of it. BTW, is THAT the grasshopper? That's a particularly cool one, if so....

[OzarkDem]

22. No, but looked similar

He had already gone on to that great pasture in the sky.

21. I once got

a dragonfly in my Family-size Fries from A&W. It happens. Damn bugs fry around hit the heat lamps or whatever and instantly dead. They asked if I wanted more fries...we declined. I was good natured about it. This was a long time ago and I didn't believe it was deliberate. Of course nowadays who the hell knows.

When I worked at McDonald's the salads were made there. I don't know if they still do that or not. I'm assuming it was in the bag of salad mix during production and then hand packed into the salad containers.

I don't blame you for being upset.

23. Hey, insects are high in protein and low in fat. Count your blessings.

26. In some parts of the world they'd charge extra for that.

27. You have to expect that if you order the grasshopper salad

Because if you had ordered a side salad, that would have been gross beyond belief.
