Woman Sues Eatery: Bloody Bandage In Burrito
Associated Press, Santa Ana

A nurse says in a lawsuit against a small Lake Forest restaurant chain that she found a bloody bandage in a burrito.

Anne Wutschke said she was eating at Wahoo's Fish Tacos in November 1994 when she felt something strange, according to the suit filed last week. "Upon removal of the substance from her mouth, she discovered it was actually a bloody bandage," said the suit.

Wahoo's general manager and part owner, Renato Lee, acknowledged Friday that "an accident did happen where the employee, I'm told, had cut his finger and had overlooked the fact that the Band-Aid had come off as he was preparing some of the lettuce."

Wutschke said in the suit that she developed a sore throat after chewing on the bandage. She also claims she has been advised to undergo tests for twice a year for 10 years to determine whether she has contracted HIV or hepatitis.

Eat you lunch before you read this!!

TRUE STORY

This woman went through the drive-through of Burger King for lunch. She ordered a chicken sandwich (the breaded kind...before spicy chicken or grilled chicken became big sellers for BK) and specifically requested NO MAYO because she couldn't stand the stuff.

She drove away without confirming that she got what she ordered. As she drove, she began to eat the sandwich and realised that there was mayo on it. She was none to pleased but was hungry so she ate it anyway.

When she got about halfway through the sandwich, she began to feel very ill. She stopped eating the sandwich but felt increasingly worse as she continued to drive. She felt so bad that she drove herself to the hospital emergency room. She took her sandwich with her since she started feeling bad after eating the sandwich.

The hospital performed tests on both her and the sandwich and found out the following: the sandwich actually didn't have any mayo on it. In reality, the chicken had a tumour on its breast. When the chicken was breaded and fried, the tumour burst inside the breaded chicken breast. The mayo-like substance was actually puss from the tumour.


ANOTHER TRUE STORY

This girl was really in a hurry one day so she just stopped off at a Taco Bell and got a Chicken soft taco and ate it on the way home. That night she noticed her jaw was kind of tight and swollen.

The next day it was a little worse so she went to her doctor. He said she was just having an allergic reaction to something and gave her some cream to rub on her jaw to help. After a couple of days, the swelling had just gotten worse and she could hardly move her jaw. She went back to her doctor to see what was wrong. Her doctor had no idea, so he started to run some tests. They scrubbed out the inside of her mouth to get tissue samples and they also took some saliva samples.

Well, they found out what was wrong. Apparently her chicken soft taco had a pregnant cockroach in it! The eggs then somehow got into her saliva glands and she was incubating them. They had to remove a couple layers of her inner mouth to get all the eggs out. If they hadn't figured out what was going on the eggs would have hatched inside the lining of her mouth!
