Finger food, ahhhh...

[Graybeard58]

They poisoned my wife and two year old son and me in 1978. I haven't been back since.

The three of us ate at Wendy's, my 4 year old son wasn't hungry and ate nothing from there. The three of us who did spent the night in the hospital with IVs to rehydrate us from all the vomiting and diarrhea. Proof enough for me that Wendy's poisoned us.

Wendy's adding single digits to their chili sales?

[null and void]

I think you nailed it...

[Alas Babylon!]

My question is, where is the rest of the person? Have they checked (opened) ALL the other cans of chili from the plant this batch came from? There are body parts even worse than a finger to find in your food.

[null and void]

Like?

[i_dont_chat]

At least once a week, I have the 99-cent salad and 99-cent baked potato. Not a bad meal for $2.14.

So far, no body-parts have been found.

There are body parts even worse than a finger to find in your food.

Thank you for pointing that out.

So would a pinky be considered a Value Meal?

[spodefly]

I feel bad for Wendy's. I used to eat there at least a couple of times a month back when I worked near one. They make great hamburgers.

[Windsong]

Well whats wrong with just burying them?

[umgud]

Sounds like Wendy's PR people have put their finger on the problem.

[GSlob]

I find the surname of the attorney Bo Bolus particularly apt for a digestive subject.

[KittyKares]

I see a fingertip and something that looks like a dog's head to the left.

Maybe the "dog's head" is the rest of the finger -- battered and deep-fried.

[TN4Liberty]

I don't know if it is still the case, but they used to make their chili out of hamburgers that were precooked for more than some period of time. (Remember "Fresh tastes best"?). I imagine the other components would be canned though.

[coloradan]

Officials told the public not to worry, they have a hand on the situation.

[Fast1]

I would of felt better if they found the source; but being it is still a mystery I will forgo any Wendy's for a long while.

[somniferum]

Speaking as a college student, if it wasn't for the .99 value menu, I and my friends might die of starvation. Mmm.. speaking of which, a Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger and Chicken nuggets sounds mighty tempting at the moment.

[Enterprise]

Corporate Vice President to CEO:

"Good news boss, we have increased our chili sales by single digits."

[mad puppy]

Back at the corporate HQ, lots of finger pointing.
