SAN JOSE, Calif. — A woman's meal at a Wendy's restaurant brought a whole new meaning to the term "finger food."

The woman bit into a portion of a human finger while eating a bowl of chili Tuesday night at the San Jose restaurant, Santa Clara County health officials said Wednesday.

The woman, who asked officials not to identify her, immediately spit out the finger and warned other diners to stop eating, witnesses said.
Woman finds human finger in chili

Yeah. This was on the local news last night and this morning. Gross. They actually showed a picture of the finger. It reminds me of a joke I absolutely won't repeat here.

Nephythys 03-24-2005 12:07 PM
awww- come on! Put it in spoiler tags (do we have those?)

Scrooge McSam 03-24-2005 12:14 PM
Now, see I've always thought that fingers were more of a crock pot kind of dish, what with all the bone and gristle involved.

I have so much to learn.

mousepod 03-24-2005 12:14 PM
Neph - you asked for it!
(This one is pretty gross)

Spoiler:
A man goes into a cafe and sits down. A waitress comes to take his order, and he asks her, "What's the special of the day?" "Chili," she says, "but the gentleman next to you got the last bowl." The man says he'll just have coffee. As he waited, he noticed the man next to him was eating a full lunch and the bowl of chili remained uneaten. Irritated, he growled "Hey, if you aren't you going to eat that chili maybe you could pass it to someone who really wants it!"
"Help yourself" replied the man.
The first man grabbed the bowl, picked up his spoon began scarfing down the chili. Suddenly, halfway through the bowl, he uncovered the decaying body of a dead mouse . Instantly he vomited his stomach contents back into the bowl. The man sitting next to him says, "Yeah, that's as far as I got, too."

You know, every time a story like this comes out, they say, "Gives a whole new meaning to 'finger food'." It's not a whole new meaning anymore, bozos!

Great joke, 'pod. :D

They don't even discuss WHERE THE FINGER CAME FROM!!! Who lost a finger? Or is the rest of the body in the mix somewhere? All I can think of is "Naked Gun". :)

They literally did do a finger check on all the Wendy's employees. All digits accounted for. Likely it came from one of the ingredient packing plants, but none has any reported incidents (they are required to report injuries by law...not that it's not possible someone didn't report it). Currently, they are sending it for finger printing to see if they can come up with anything from the national fingerprint database.

OMG! I didn't even think about that. How bizarre!

Mousey Girl 03-24-2005 06:14 PM
The way it used to be done (18yrs ago) was that the beans and seasonings were in a can and the meat was collected throughout the day. When a patty was on the grill too long it was added to a bucket to be counted. Once there was enough it would then be boiled and chopped up to add to the bean mix. I don't know if they still do that now. This was back when we used to chop our lettuce and slice or own tomoatos.

Omg! I used to work at the Wendy's in Panama City, Fla, about twenty or so years ago, and we did the same thing! That's why they serve chili- it enables them to use the meat that isn't used on the sandwiches. It was gross- they would store it in the walk-in all day (or two or three) and then boil the meat for a long time before chopping it up and putting it in the chili. I'm guessing the finger belongs to maybe an illegal or someone not interested in having any sort of official-type attentions paid to them

Cadaverous Pallor 03-24-2005 11:28 PM
Note to self - never eat at Wendy's again.







Ok, maybe I'll get a Frosty once in a while.

Ack! *clutches throat* How could you ruin Frostys for me! :mad:

So, nu? What's the story? Peeing in the machines I'd guess?

Mousey Girl 03-25-2005 06:06 AM
No pee, but the calorie count in a frosty is out of sight.

Wendybeth, did you ever drink the Frosty Mix before it was frozen?

No pee, not that I know of anyway. The machine where I worked was very seldom cleaned out, and Florida is very humid. During an inspection, it was discovered to have mold and mildew in quite a few areas. Totally grossed me out- I never had another Frosty after that.

(Mousey Girl- I never tried that! Was it good?)

Nephythys 03-25-2005 10:03 AM
I suspect if we look deeply enough into ANY fast food place we would never eat there again!!

bleaugh!

Ours was cleaned and sanitized very night. The mix tasted like uber rich chocolate milk. I have still been know to buy 1, let it melt, scoop off the foam and yum yum city. I also like them totally frozen.

Make that any business that does food service. I could tell you stories about Baskin Robbins that would turn you off from ice cream for ever.

THe pee is in the Corona. The rats are in any restaurant backroom. The finger in the soup/chili is an old story. THe Doberman choked on the finger and the new dog is really a Mexican Sewer Rat.

This ad made me lol after reading this thread. :p

MerryPrankster 04-07-2005 10:49 PM
I hope it's okay that I'm resurrecting this thread. They are going to have the latest on this story on our local news tonight. It looks like they are going to interview the woman. The police searched her home in Las Vegas. And some people are speculating that she got the severed finger from a dead relative.

Here's a recent link:

Court records show Ayala has a history of making claims against corporations, including a former employer, General Motors and a fast-food restaurant. She acknowledged getting a settlement several years ago after her daughter was sickened at an El Pollo Loco restaurant in Las Vegas, but said "that was something very different."


"Lies, lies, lies, that's all I am hearing," she said in an interview with The Associated Press after her home was searched last week as the police investigated how a finger ended up in the chili. "They should look at Wendy's. What are they hiding? Why are we being victimized again and again?"
"What are they hiding?"?? As if there hasn't been any investigation into things on the Wendy's side? That quote from her sounds suspiciously melodramatic. And this whole side plot of some lady that got her finger bitten off by a tiger at a animal shelter? Weird stuff.

MickeyD 04-13-2005 10:39 PM
I can't get past the image of the woman whose finger was bitten off being handed the finger in a bag of ice. Was there some sort of conversation involved, "Sorry, we couldn't reattach it....but here you go...a memento for you!"

And, to derail....I hope Arrested Development does some sort of spoof of this with Buster's hand.

Not Afraid 04-13-2005 10:52 PM
I can't get over how Weekly World News this whole story is!

Ghoulish Delight 04-14-2005 11:20 AM
Well, the leopard lady is a no go. Seems she only lost 3/4" of her finger, and they've got a 1.5".

Prudence 04-21-2005 11:52 PM
Word from the AP tonight is that finger lady has been arrested.

MerryPrankster 04-22-2005 12:02 AM
Yeah, I saw that on the news tonight. :snap: <--- four finger snap

But still no one has claimed the finger...Where is David Lynch when you need him

He's still trying to find the owner of the ear.
