A PATRON at a fast food restaurant in California, found a human finger in a bowl of chili prepared by the chain, local officials said.

"This individual apparently did take a spoonful, did have a finger in their mouth and then, you know, spit it out and recognised it," said Ben Gale, director of the department of environmental health for Santa Clara County.
"Then they had some kind of emotional reaction and vomited."

Local officials launched an investigation after the incident and the medical examiner determined next day that the object was a human finger.

Officials are trying to determine if the finger came in the raw materials that the Wendy's fast food chain used to prepare the chili, Gale said.

Wendy's corporate office did not immediately return a call for comment.

Yeah, we live in Santa Clara. It's local news. I haven't been to a Wendy's in a decade.

Yey, somebody else from my neck of the woods.

Did you know that they actually showed the finger on t.v. Ughhh!
It was in two pieces.

I guess it's better to find a whole finger in your chili than half of one.....

Yah, I too heard about it somewhere. I couldn't put my finger on it at first. Then I almost knuckled under the pressure before I nailed it.

You know, here in Sydney, Aus I found some WEIRD sludgy shit at the bottom of my frozen coke the other day. I was in the cinema at the time, so I couldn't see it, but it had a DISGUSTING texture on my tongue and made me retch a bit....so I just threw it away.

I can't stand it when places get lax on quality control. And they do EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME.

I was over at my brother in law's and we'd bought a 24 pack of Asahi beers. My brother in law took a swig of his first can and spat it out all over the floor. He's said to me before about the beer tasting funny but he's kinda picky about how cold his beer his (he's an Aussie) and stuff, so I just thought he meant it tasted a little different. I took a little taste and spat it out! Tasted just like vinegar! I don't know whether it'd just gone off or whether it actually was vinegar, but we were damn cautious about the first sip of each can after that.

You're right, it's disgraceful.

Wasn't this at Wendy's? Just another reason not to eat fast food.
