Authentic gross food stories

[CRaZy]

I feel compelled to post this thread now because of the direction my Urban Myths thread is taking. Rat droppings in the bread? Half a worm in your apple? Tell me your grossest food story that you are at least 99% sure is true.

In the town where I used to live the health department verified the following three complaints.
1. Used tampon in a cake.
2. Live bullet in a loaf of bread (the woman who bought it usually froze her bread and defrosted in microwave but fortunately this time she didn't).
3. Small garden snake in a caesar salad.

I was once drinking a cup of coffeee when I felt something in my mouth. It turned out to be a (very long) fingernail. Ugh!!!

I was enjoying a delicious Latte at a cafe in Miami, OH, and got about half done,the foam was all gone and then when I stirred it, a dead wasp floated to the surface.Yeeeewwww!

We have the infamous "Marvin Zindler, Eyyyeewitness News" that gives the nightly "Rat and Roach Report" on the ABC affiliate. I say infamous because he is the guy that shut down the Chicken Ranch. Y'all have seen the movie with Dolly Parton as the madam and maybe the Broadway musical. Yeah, that's the guy; he's older than dirt, wears white buck shoes, bright blue tinted sunglasses and has a snow white toupee. Honest-to-Pete, he is for real!

Anyway, he is even more famous today for his expression, "Slime in the ice machine." A local group has even written a song titled, "Slime In the Ice Machine" and they play it each night while Marvin spiels off about a dozen or so establishments that have been cited by the Houston Board of Health. I just hate it when he nails one of my favorite quick-food restaurants.
