Surely, you'd think someone would have seen a finger in the chilli when they were serving it

That's why it always pays to get something that is easy to see the ingredients while you're eating it, like a salid, or chicken sandwich. Something "not" buried in some kind of dark sauce! :wah:

What I wonder about is the people where the chili was made... they have

an "industrial accident" apparently where a worker loses their finger, and

they not only don't find the finger... they don't throw out the entire

batch of what was being made at the time? HUH? Did they just casually

"Oh what the heck" and continue on? OR did the worker not even report

it? Hey, Boss, lost my finger in the meat grinder can I have the rest of the

day off?

Suppose it could've been worse, could've been a toe!

But who would you point the finger at for this tradgedy? Who is the #1 suspect? And could you really nail him. Maybe it's a whole ring of people. Man that person really has Wendy's under their thumb. You got to hand it to the guy, all he did was throw up. I think the pressure would have made me knuckle under. I see a law suit with at least 7 digits. I'm gonna index this sight for futur reference. I can't think of anything for pinky and cuticle, help me out here.

Authorities seek owner of finger

By DAN REED

Knight Ridder News

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Finding a finger in a bowl of Wendy's chili is a surprise. Hiring a lawyer after biting into it is not.

Anna Ayala, the 39-year-old Las Vegas woman who had the culinary misfortune of chomping on the tip of a human finger at a California Wendy's on Tuesday evening, told her newly retained lawyer she's still nauseous, off her feed and sleepless.

And she wants Wendy's to make it right.

"All I can say is she has suffered tremendously," Jeffrey Janoff, an attorney based in San Jose, Calif., said Friday. "People are making jokes about this, but this is a really serious thing. How many people have bitten into human flesh? It's revolting."

Revolting? Former fans of Wendy's cuisine seem to agree. The chain reports business is off sharply, especially at the San Jose, Calif., outlet that served the finger-added recipe, but also throughout Northern California, where the story has received intensive media coverage.

"These types of sales drops you don't recover from quickly," Wendy's spokesman Denny Lynch said Friday. He declined to provide specifics.

Meanwhile, the hunt for the former owner of the finger -- that would be a person missing about an inch and a half of a digit -- continues. Capt. Bob Dixon of the Santa Clara County, Calif., coroner's office said Friday the crime lab has completed the first part of attempting to lift a usable fingerprint from it.

The idea, he said, is to run the print through a database and try to match it to its owner.

Then, one would imagine, there would be many, many questions. Such as, did you know we had your finger? Why was Wendy's serving your finger in its chili? Do you want your finger back?

Dixon also said that so far it's impossible to tell whether the finger was cooked along with the main batch of chili or somehow dropped into the serving cup afterward. The lab is going to try to determine if there's some kind of test to figure that out.

No one is suggesting it was a con, such as the old scams like putting a bug in food or a mouse in a soda bottle to try to get money.

For Ayala's part, she was repulsed by the suggestion that anyone would intentionally put the finger in the chili to try to scam the fast-food chain.

"That is very sick, sick, sick," she said. "It's disgusting. You're playing with the human race."

She still flinches at the memory of the cannibalistic mishap, which occurred when she was at the eatery preparing to drop off her in-laws after a trip to Mexico.

"It's a taste I have never tasted in my whole life," she said.

While the county continues to track the ingredients Wendy's used in its chili to find the source of the finger, the fast-food outfit's representatives said they believe it didn't come from them. "We contacted each one of our suppliers that provide ingredients for chili, and each one of them told us they have had no employee accidents involving the fingers or hand," said Denny Lynch.
