Worst things you've found in take-out food?

[PowerPlayoffs06]

Sister and I grabbed Wendy's one night and came back to my place to watch a Flames game. We're sitting eating and she spits out this big melted chunk of black plastic that was in her burger. Now she hates Wendy's and wont ever go there so we have to go to McDonalds for her and Wendy's for me since I refuse to buy stuff from McDonalds because they *ALWAYS* screw up something no matter which place I go to.

A hair, obviously from someone's head. So nothing really too bad, thankfully.

My sister once cracked open a hard-boiled egg only to find a hard-boiled chicken fetus inside.

My buddy found what we all believed to be a mouse/rat leg in his chinese food once in high school. We knew it was some type of rodent leg, as we could see the tiny claws at the bottom. The waiter tried to argue with us that it wasn't, so we all just got up and left and went to the burger place next door. Haven't been back since.

I also found a cigarette butt in a bottle of C-Plus when I was a kid...forgot about that one. We got a bunch of free pop after that.

Is there even C-Plus around anymore?

I once found a metal shard in my toothpaste, returned it to crest where they gave me tons of free stuff. I had flies in my sushi once (I had ordered cooked food), that was a disaster. I even found a brown chunk of something in a hard boiled egg just this week, I nearly puked.

It wasn't "take-Out" But it was Gross none the less!

About 23 years ago, My Buddy's girlfriend found a MASSIVE green caterpillar at the bottom of her ceasar salad.

...The waitress said...."Well, you have to expect that somtimes".

Needless to say, We (6 of us) didn't pay a dime for our meal!


Good Times,,,, Good Times.

Found a live maggot in fried rice at a chinese place in Airdrie (used to be right beside the Roxy theatre, closed years ago)

Found a band-aid in a taco salad at Santa Fe Grille on Macleod Tr. S

What scares me is the stuff I didn't find.

[Buzzard]

^^ Too true.

I've nver had the pleasure of working in a fast food joint, but everyone I know who has has lots of stories to tell about what goes on. Same goes for eat in restaurants as well.

Just close your eyes, plug your nose, shut the hell up and eat.

My husband found a chunk of raw hamburger meat in his milkshake from Peter's Drive In. Kinda disgusting for anyone, but he's vegetarian - it really bothered him. We didn't go back for 5 or 6 years...then finally we gave into the cravings.

Hair.

Wasn't take out but caught a co-worker dipping his fries in maggot infested ketchup.

My wife was eating Won Ton soup and scooped out a piece of cauliflower. About to take a bite, I stopped her from doing it because there was a green bug on the cualiflower and it was still moving.

One time I had a McChicken at MacDonalds (of course). On the third bite, I thought I had hit a chunk of bone (mechanically deboned meat always leaves this possibility) and when I pulled the burger away from my mouth a hefty 3 inch long staple (the kind used to hold boxes together) caught on my lip and hung there. I was in full view of the front counter and the manager saw it happen. He came out and I guess the look on my face was so incredulous that he reached into his pocket and gave me $30 in McD's gift certificates. He asked if I was okay and apologized profusely. I excused myself to go to the bathroom and when I came back my friend and I were presented with brand new meals plus a refund. The apologies were fierce and the manager came over twice more while we ate our meals. I think he was happy that I wouldn't sue. The rest of the year at university whenever I went to that McD's and the manager was working free apple pies would appear on my tray.

I forgot the time I bought a small bag of those 'One Bite' cinnamon rolls at a Mac's. As soon as the bag was opened, I smelled gas/oil or some other hydrocarbon variant. Not thinking it could be my food, I put a roll in my mouth and quickly spat it all over my dashboard. The rolls seemed to be covered in something bad, likely from the machine they were produced in. I sent the package to the manufacturer who did not seem interested in getting their product back (for testing, tracking or whatever). I had to explain to them why they might want to investigate! They were just going to send me some free stuff and call it a day. Eventually they got back to me and said they found nothing wrong with the food, yet friends and family all smelled the gas. I doubt they tested anything.

That actually reminds me of the time I went to KFC and had a piece of chicken with A LOT of blood in it. I called the restaurant and the manager was really snarky with me and told me that it wasn't possible. I told him that I know what blood looks and tastes like, but he basically called me a liar. I went down there with the chicken in my hand, slammed it on the counter and said; "SEE.... BLOOD!". Right in front of about a dozen horrified customers... then I walked right out.

not found in my food, but when i worked at mcdonalds as a kid, someone returned a McNugget with a tiny feather in it. The manager gave them new nuggets, free pop, and luckily the guy ended up laughing about it. The manager said to all of us he planned to keep it as proof that it was actual meat in McNuggets

worst i have got in my own food, raw/semi cooked chicken in fried rice and as usual, the odd hair

all in all though, no takeout could be as bad as my worst food experience ever. doing a full fry up for breakfast one morning and crack in an egg that was rotten. hot pan + rotten egg = bad combo...

I choked on a peice of wood that came off the cutting board at extreme pita.

I bought a package of Jack Links beef jerkey last week and was eating it while driving. I usually buy the peppered or regular but I bought the sweet and hot. I was thinking how I didn't like it near as much as the other two; it tasted weird. I got stopped at a red light and went to put the fourth or fifth piece in my mouth when I noticed it half-covered in a greeny-white fuzzy mould. I just about threw up! I looked in the bag and all the remaining pieces were the same. I fully expected to be sick and was waiting for it throughout the day but it never came!

Everyone said I should return it to the store, but I didn't bother. I did save the bag though to show the ambulance attendants should the need arise! lol. A couple of days later I was back in the same store and noticed all the Jack Links gone from the shelf; must've had a bad run.

Cool, I've done the same thing.

Disgusting, I just ordered Buffalo Boneless wings from Wendy's, I get home and they put on the BBQ sauce instead of Buffalo. I puked after I put it in my mouth.
