If you found bugs in your fast food you'd (fill in the blank)

True story.

A coworker of mine, and his wife, ate at Hardees last night. They got the new "Low carb" thick burger. For those who don't know this is a hamburger wrapped in lettuce, no bun.

He said when they got home and started to eat his wife noticed the lettuce was COVERED in small, fruit fly type bugs. I later dragged it out of him that he actually did take a honkin' bite out of his.

When I asked what he did, he said he called them, they offered him his money back, he tossed the burger and watched the game.

I told him that in todays society he threw away a million dollar hamburger, what do you think?

If it was literally COVERED in bugs, I'd seal it in a ziploc and call one of those news stations' consumer advocacy things. You know, like 6 on your side or the problem solvers.

If you found bugs in your fast food i'd be worried that i messed up my strict Atkins Diet Regime and I would lie on the floor, face down on my back and cry.

I did mention to him that he'd have to look up the nutritional value of the bugs to effectively compensate his carb counting.

Suing would have been too much trouble I agree, but I'm sure you could get some easy hush money.

They are probably mostly protein. Therefore, he should have continued eating.

I'm surprised no one has said they would barf. I know I would. Don't know what I'd do when I'm done barfin' but that would be priority No. 1.

I was restaurant with some friends a few years ago and found a fly in my iced tea. Luckily I hadn't drank out of it yet. I just asked them to go get me a new one. *shrugs* This stuff happens.
