It wasn’t a Frosty. It was a drink. The guy said he liked to take “big gulps.”

I'm a really suspicious person and even I wouldn't believe someone would purposely leave a piece of plastic in his lung for 2 years. My best guess is that the Wendy's in questions was “recycling” (reusing) their cups and didn't notice the piece of trash in that one. I'm also guessing he did not use a straw to drink his soda. Movie theatres do this with their cups quite often. You should always crush your soda cups at theatres or you might get it back again next week.

If you’ve eaten at Wendy’s in the last couple of years, your question would answer itself!

I cannot imagine who, SOBER, would ever inhale a piece of plastic to keep in his lungs for two years. That’s the key methinks, SOBER. May have been soused out of his gourd on alcohol or some drug.
