  • Arby’s Finger: Roast Beef With A Surprise Inside

    On any day, this story would be disgusting. But coming on the heels of a story about a man finding a deep-fried insect stuck to his McDonald’s hashbrowns, it’s positively gag-worthy. At the very least, it’s enough to make me never want to eat fast food again.

    A 14-year old boy in Michigan says he was eating a roast-beef sandwich from Arby’s on Friday when he bit down on something “rubbery”. When he spat it out, he discovered it wasn’t just a piece of beef gristle–which would have been gross enough–but rather, the tip of someone’s finger.

    Ryan Hart said his mom–who was also eating Arby’s at the time–didn’t believe him when he told her what it was.

    “I was like, ‘that’s got to be a finger.’ I was about to puke… it was just nasty,” he said.

    The fingertip was about an inch long, he said, and extended just beyond the first knuckle. Ryan’s mother, Jamie Vail, took him to the local health department and called the police. Reps for the restaurant said an employee did lose a fingertip that day in the meat slicer but orders were sent out before anyone knew what had happened, and Ryan happened to be the unlucky recipient of one of them. When the accident was discovered, food expedition was temporarily halted so the store could be cleaned, but they never closed.

    “Somebody loses a finger, and you keep sending food out the window? I can’t believe that,” Vail said. “They should have shut it down.”

    The family plans to bring a lawsuit against the restaurant, although no further details have been disclosed. Vail says her son has been traumatized by the incident and is worried about the safety of his health after having the finger in his mouth.

  • Fried Roach With Your McDonald’s Hashbrowns?

    Fried Roach With Your McDonald’s Hashbrowns?

    A man who was enjoying a nice warm McDonald’s hashbrown yesterday claims to have found a rather disgusting surprise at the bottom: a deep-fried insect.

    The man, identified on Reddit as LinkBoyJT, posted a photo of the offending potatoes, which shows a rather large bug attached to the bottom. While it has the coloring of a cockroach, it almost looks like a moth in the photo. And while consumers finding bugs in their fast food isn’t exactly a new story, one would think someone from the restaurant would have noticed this giant carcass clinging to the bottom of the food before they put it in the little paper sleeve.

    LinkBoyJT says he went back to McDonald’s and showed them the fried treat, only to have the manager act indifferent about the whole thing.

    “I took the thing and showed it to the manager and she marked my receipt so I could get the same meal for free the next time I come in for breakfast. She didn’t really seem all that concerned,” he wrote on Reddit.

    If you search for “bugs in McDonald’s food” on Google or YouTube, you’ll find a disturbing array of stories from people all over the world who have discovered a little something extra with their meal. These people found an insect in their fries and captured it on video.

    18-year old Hayley Parsons found bugs scurrying around her Happy Meal box after she ate a few fries while driving; she says she’ll never eat at McDonald’s again, although a spokesman for the restaurant did issue a statement apologizing to Parsons for what they called an “isolated incident”.

    The sad fact is, it’s a risk we all take when eating fast food; we simply don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes when someone else is preparing our food. One would think, however, that a chain as huge as McDonald’s could afford to have some pest control.
