Every now and then, those damn pesky animals just somehow find their way into our food. I don’t know why, but this just reminded me of a story I remember from being a kid. Someone apparently bit down into their Big Mac from McDonald’s and instead of a “beef” patty, it was a dead frog. I can’t recall if that was actual news back in the 90s, or if it was just an urban legend amongst us stupid children.
But, there was that dead mouse that someone found in a sealed can of Monster. I’m pretty sure that was real. Gah – can we just take a moment to appreciate the investigative journalism of this site? Anyway, some lady found a frog in her salad….
Becky Garfinkel, 37, of Corona, said she bought the packaged spring mix salad from Target last Wednesday and after she was almost finished eating it, she noticed the little frog, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The frog was doused in salad dressing, but still alive and Garfinkel said her familty just couldn’t abandon it. So they kept it as their family pet and named it Lucky.
“He survived so much,” Garfinkel told the Times. “I am just happy he survived and I didn’t eat him.”
After contacting Target about the salad surprise, the company offered Garfinkel a $5 gift card. Garfinkel also reached out to Taylor Farms, the company that produces the salads, which launched an investigation, the Times reported.
So, no – I don’t kill the frog, sure. I’m the type that has a hard time killing stinkbugs. Just turn ’em loose and let ’em go about their day-to-day. But, do I keep the damn thing as pet? Hell no! I don’t want that kind of responsibility on my hands. Do you know how to take care of a frog? Is that something that the average person just knows? Because I don’t – that frog may as well go ahead and get a fork through its belly.
Also, I can’t imagine dressing dousing my entire naked body. What a way to go out. “Here lies Stoney Keeley – victim of ranch dressing smothering.” So, a little redemption there in hearing that the frog made it through the dressing dousing mostly unscathed.
Finally, TARGET! Y’all some cheap ass bastards. Someone finds A FROG in one of your salads, and all you can do is a $5 gift card?!?! You’re kidding me!
If I’m Target, I’m at least giving this woman a SNES Classic for her troubles.
