  • Staple found in M&M pretzel

    Gonzalo Erdozain, a first-year veterinary student at Kansas State University, writes:

    You may be familiar with stories about people – or aliens -- wearing meat bikinis, chicken heads in McNuggets, flies in soup and even used tampons in food (which makes me want to barf just writing about it), but I have now joined the ranks of the bizarre when I discovered a staple in my Pretzel M&M.

    The fact that it was a pretzel inside an M&M was edgy enough, but to my surprise, this one last M&M came with another treat inside, a staple. After chewing on something that at first felt like a plastic strip, I decided it was time to pull it out of my mouth, and to my amusement, and that of my lab mates, it was a regular, metal staple. I would rather take my chances with Salmonella or E. coli that I know I can cook to death rather than bleeding internally to death.

  • Funnel cake, fireworks and Salmonella – 4th of July celebration Parkville-style

    Posted: July 7th, 2010 - 2:02am by Doug Powell

    Gonzalo Erdozain, like Nicolas Cage in the movie, The Family Man, likes his funnel cake. He writes,

     

    This year, my wife and I spent July 4 in Parkville, Missouri. On Sunday, I found hand sanitizer at a pizza restaurant. Yes, exactly as shown, left, on a tray with grated cheese, salt, pepper, sweeteners and hand sanitizer.

     

    I used it, but I should have taken it with me, because what I saw next could have definitely used some hand sanitizing action. Enticed by the pouring rain, frogs started appearing all over the place.

     

    As expected, kids chased and grabbed them – bad idea, reptiles and amphibians are known for carrying Salmonella in their skin – and some adults screamed and cried. But the guy that gets the prize for “Worst Idea Ever” was the guy manhandling the frog – in an attempt to keep it away from a crying lady – and then eating funnel cake with those same hands.
