What is your favourite urban myth? I like the one about the lady who went travelling to some unheard of destination in the wilds of deepest darkest Africa. Something bit her on the cheek when she was there but she had no adverse reactions and thought nothing more of it. When she returned to Australia, a lump developed on her cheek. When the doctor squeezed it, out crawled hundreds of tiny insects - all over her face - into her eyes etc. etc. etc. She ended up in an asylum. I believed that damn story for years! Any others?

The woman who licked an envelope and got a paper cut that never healed, then developed a lump there. When she went to the doctor about it, he cut it open and there was a ive cockraoch in it, along with a bunch of eggs. Now how nasty is THAT thought?

The trouble with urban myths is that there is always some germ of truth which sparked the story. There is an Australian book called "The Damage Done". It is the autobiography of a guy who spent twelve months in a filthy Bangkok pison for drug smuggling. One night a Frenchman in the prison was screaming and screaming. He had a nasty swelling behind his ear. The guard sliced it open with a blade and out crawled a baby cockroach that had been burrowing inside. The Frenchman turned to drugs. Well ya would, wouldn't ya? Don't smuggle drugs in Thailand. Just a safety tip.

The McPus Sandwich
As told by Leslie Robinson, 01/28/00...
I first heard this Food Legend two years ago, and it concerns (surprise) McDonald's...
A woman went into the McDonald's restauant in Ayer, Massachusetts one day for lunch and ordered a fried chicken sandwich. Not caring much for mayonnaise, she requested that it be left off the sandwich, along with tomatoes.
After the order was ready and paid for, the woman sat down and unwrapped her sandwich. She took a huge bite, and...wham! There was a huge glob of mayonnaise in her mouth. Annoyed, she brought it up to the cashier who had served her and demanded a new sandwich, citing that she had specifically asked for no tomatoes and NO MAYO.
Confused, the cashier asked the workers in the back to please fix a sandwich without the dreaded mayonnaise, to which they insisted they had not put any on the first one, and prepared a replacement immediately.
As she was about to take her new mayo-less McChicken Deluxe back to her table, the woman was suddenly overcome with nausea and vomited in several colors, followed by blood, onto the floor. The workers out back then opened the discarded sandwich and found that they indeed had not included mayonnaise, but a chicken patty with a pus-filled tumor.
Pretty gross, hmm? I swear, it's huge around Massachusetts. I don't believe it, but I guess you never know...!

Mine is the one about the lady who masterbated with a lobster. So goes the story, she had just enough water in the tub to keep it alive. Had it inserted tail first into her and used a lighter around it's head to make the heat to cause the lobster's tail to move. She got impregnated with mud shrimp, developed cramps. Went to take a dump looked in the crapper saw the mud shrimp, fainted hit her head and died.

My Fav has to be the one about microwaving liquids.
The story goes that if you heat liquids, e.g coffee, in a microwave past a certain point. The water will vaporize just enough that it will cause the fluids to explode. Evidence of this state can be seen be the formations of bubbles clinging to the inside of the container.
I like this one because all of us have done this.

As Crazy said there is always some truth to these things....last year chicken nuggets were pulled from several local schools because the poultry "factories" were churning out nuggets made from diseased chickens, apparently the carcasses were covered with pus filled tumors but it was not a disease that was comunicable to humans so by law they were in compliance with health codes...and this folks is why my children and I do not eat McDonalds or any other "nuggets"

McDonald's nuggets
OK, I know this one ISN'T an urban legend, but that McDonald's story just made me feel compelled to post it. This I know for a fact happened, because it was in papers everywhere.
A woman in Minnesota had ordered McDonalds nuggets and sat down to eat them. She opened the box and lo and behold, there in place of one of her tasty treats was a breaded and deep friend chicken head.
How in the hell something like that would get past the people working the deep friers is beyond me, but I just can't quite bring myself to think about it much without feeling ill.
I just have one more thing to say......ICKY!!!

Ugh!!!! I didn't mean this to turn into a stomach churning thread but since we are on the subject.... I am pretty sure this is an urban myth because I have heard it attributed to any number of KFC stores. A pissed off KFC employee masturbated into the coleslaw. It was duly packed in plastic containers and sold to an unsuspecting public. Anyone cumming for a chicken and salad dinner?

*ACK!!!BLAH... shiver..
Well, I am truly disgusted. Ugh, and kids love stupid McDonalds. I won't eat there because a friend of mind had a book or maybe it was a magazine article I read anyhow it essentially had alot of different things that the public should know they are consuming. It said how hershey and different chocolate companies allow a certain number of bugs eggs,legs and other various parts are allowed in their chocolate..Ugh. It also said that McDonalds was the largest purchaser of cow eyeballs... I know this sounds cheesey but apparently they use the eyes as a filler for their meat. And I know everyone that has eaten a Mcsomething or another has been chewing and then suddenly you get that REALLY chewy something and you have to spit it out. I am pretty sure that s unground up eye.

Kasha- sorry to have to tell you this but most of that is true. The FDA and the USDA do allow for certain amounts or ranges of acceptable foreign matter. No matter how stringent the rules are, no matter how strict the adherence to quality control is, there is absolutely no such thing as pure and unadulterated food. Yes, rodent hairs and other objects do get into the food supply. It is a given. But it ain't gonna kill you. Of course, governmental regulations are in place to limit the severity. On the whole, food manufacturing remains relatively safe.
However, it is a different matter altogether once the raw materials or ingredients or processed foods move further along the chain. You folks would never eat in restaurants again if you knew half of what goes on there!
Having worked in restaurants while putting myself through school, I saw all kinds of disgusting behaviors. From 'teaching those people a lesson' attitude to being angry with the boss for some slight -imagined or not- food service workers have done some mighty nasty things.
I have seen cigarette ashes, bugs, spit, etc., dumped into food. I have complained about that and gotten chastised for speaking up. (I quit) I have never actually seen anyone produce bodily fluids and add that to the mix, so to speak, but I have heard of it happening.
Then there is the greed factor. Food falls on the floor- you and I would throw it away, right? You must be kidding. Restaurant owners have ordered people to pick it up, put it back on the plate and serve it. Can't keep the customer waiting. Can't lose money!
People worry about cholesterol and fat and sugar in their food. Yeah, that is a concern. But I am more disturbed by those who have control over my food source. The less manufactured it is and the less people who have access to it the better. This is not paranoia. This is first hand experience.
So, who's up for a trip to the sausage factory?
Oh and let's not even say Soylent Green!

Re: Bon Appetit!
Let me take the opposite view point for a minute. I had a "sausage factory" as a client many years ago. The place was spotless. You could eat off the floor. After all the horror stories I heard over the years, I was very impressed with this place. I had no problem eating their "samples" as a guinea pig when they were trying out new recipes in their test kitchen. I still eat their brats and Italian sausages today.BrainyBeauty said:

Yep - the Richard Gere gerbil in ass myth. Everyone has a brother/brother in law/friend of a cousin who was in attendance when it was removed. Talk about six degrees of separation!!! It never happened but the poor man can't live it down.
