Diner finds human finger in bowl of chili
No immediate comment from Wendy’s
Updated: 1:00 a.m. ET March 24, 2005 SAN FRANCISCO - A diner at a Wendy’s fast food restaurant in San Jose, California, found a human finger in a bowl of chili prepared by the chain, local officials said on Wednesday.
“This individual apparently did take a spoonful, did have a finger in their mouth and then, you know, spit it out and recognized 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 on Tuesday night and the medical examiner determined on Wednesday that the object was a human finger.
Officials are trying to determine if the finger came in the raw materials Wendy’s used to prepare the chili, Gale said.
Wendy’s International Inc. corporate office did not immediately return a call for comment. Wendy’s is the third-largest hamburger chain.

Finger lickin\' good.
Sorry. You knew it was coming.
-
Could have been worse I suppose, like if he found a penis in there instead. :eek:
-
I dunno, would you munch down on a cooked finger to get some cash? I probably would... you know the trial lawyers are lining up for this one.
-
Ugh... I used to like Wendy\'s chili...
-
The diner did put it in their mouth, so that\'s probably enough to score a sweet settlement, if their lawyer is good enough.
I don\'t feel bad about it because the corporation should be penalized in some fashion.
-
I\'ll burn my lap or munch on a finger if it means money like this. This guy has got worse paper cuts in his life.
-
I agree... wonder how it got there though and who does it belong to?
-
hopefully that finger wasn\'t laced with aids or some s**t..either way this cat has a nice lawsuit....gman you\'re f**kin hilarious..:laughing:

Sick. I wonder how Wendy\'s did not notice it in the raw food before they prepared it, unless it comes prepared already and they just have to cook it. Who knows. Either way, this doesn\'t look too good.
-
Kind of a bummer because Wendy\'s was on the fast-track to surplanting McDonalds and BK as America\'s favorite place to get fat.
-
How exactly does the chili get served? I find it hard to believe that it wouldsqueeze out of a bottle, or be scooped out of a jar and put into a small bowl without anyone noticing it.
And they wouldn\'t necessarily have to kill someone to stage it. Maybe a friend of a friend knows a guy who has access to cadavers?
-
Thats it!McDonalds did it!!To hit a better competitor :p
-
If I was a broke scumbag, I\'d make a plan like this... just cut off the finger of a homeless dude while he\'s drunk, wash the finger, put it in a burger... instant millionaire. ;)

Yea, very staged if you ask me.
-
well it doesn\'t exactly say how big the finger was....it could\'ve been just the tip, which could have easily just slid to the bottom of the container....i\'m sure when they are preparing the chili that they aren\'t paying attention to stuff like that...they probabaly just pour it in a bowl without looking and keep it moving...especially if it\'s busy....
-
They\'re typically in large plastic bags or containers. And because of the thickness of the sauce and the amount of beans and meat in there, it\'s not easy to spot a small part of a finger.

wrong?
oh, i guess that syringe in the diet pepsi can wasnt staged

Walter: You want a toe? I can get you a toe, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don\'t wanna know about it, believe me.
The Dude: Yeah, but Walter...
Walter: Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o\'clock this afternoon... with nail polish.

OMG! You mean the lady wasn\'t eating from a bowl of chili but actually drinking from a can of pepsi?????1!eleventy!!!
How dare they? And the fried chicken head was staged???? mm....you should be a liar. I mean...a lawyer.

easily staged

I remember buying Bic Macs from McDonalds and when I got home, I opened it and I found two hamburgers has been bitten off. As if someone took a bite out of them and who knows if they spit on it, because it was packaged and when I found out at home, it was too late...

SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- The woman who claimed she found a well-manicured finger in her bowl of Wendy\'s chili last month was arrested Thursday night in Las Vegas, police said.
Anna Ayala was taken into custody at her home, San Jose police spokesman Enrique Garcia said. He said police would not give any details until a news conference Friday afternoon. Las Vegas police also refused to comment.
The arrest is the latest twist in the bizarre case about how the 11/2-inch fingertip ended up in a bowl of fast-food chili.
Ayala told police she found the finger March 22 while eating at a Wendy\'s in San Jose. She said she intended to sue but relented, claiming the publicity was too emotionally taxing.
When police and health officials failed to find any missing digits among the workers involved in the restaurant\'s supply chain, suspicion fell on Ayala, whose story has become a late-night punch line.
Ayala has a litigious history. She has filed claims against several corporations, including a former employer and General Motors, though it is unclear from court records whether she received any money. She said she got $30,000 from El Pollo Loco after her 13-year-old daughter got sick at one of the chain\'s Las Vegas-area restaurants. El Pollo Loco officials say she did not get a dime.
Earlier Thursday, Ohio-based Wendy\'s International Inc. announced it had ended its internal investigation, saying it could find no credible link between the finger and the restaurant chain.
All the employees at the San Jose store were found to have all their fingers, and no suppliers reported any hand or finger injuries, the company said.
Sales have dropped at franchises in Northern California, forcing layoffs and reduced hours, the company said. Wendy\'s also has hired private investigators, set up a hot line for tips and offered a $100,000 reward for anyone who provides information leading to the finger\'s original owner.
not long ago in time, this woman would be tied to a stake and beaten
:rpissed:
