  • Snake or frog, Houston mother and kids still grossed out after finding animal head in frozen veggies

    Ernestine Jamison cooks vegetables for her four children every night in their north Houston apartment.

    But when she opened a bag of Pictsweet frozen cut green beans last month, she found more than just green beans.

    The Jamison family believes the green and black frozen object nestled in their dinner was a severed snake head.

    Jamison called Pictsweet, and they offered her $150.

    But she wasn’t looking for money and turned it down.

    A letter sent by the company’s insurance provider to Jamison claims Pictsweet “is not responsible for this accident,” and they are “denying liability.”

    The company also claims it wasn’t a snake head at all. They say it was a frog head. “But it's still gross whether it's a frog or snake,” said Jamison.

  • Capitals win streak set to end at 13, and 13 grossest food stories of all time

    Posted: February 7th, 2010 - 2:00pm by Doug Powell

    The sun is out in Washington, D.C., as the city begins to dig out from record snowfall and even worse television commentary (why do so many people in D.C. apparently own cross-country skis when it rarely snows enough to use them?).

    The Capitals-Pens hockey game was sold out, the teenager was asleep, and after a walk we soon found ourselves in a bar to watch the hyped pre-Super Bowl noontime game showcased on national TV. The Caps 13-game winning streak is in danger with the Pens leading 4-2 after 2 periods. Sorenne in her Ovechkin shirt fell asleep in my arms, although her eyes briefly opened for this pic (right). 

    The Consumerist just published its top 13 grossest food stories of all time – or from the past 4 years or so. I'll just run the headlines here.
