North Carolina - Another Finger Found In Food...But, This One Is For Real

North Carolina Man Finds Finger In Frozen Custard

Wilmington, North Carolina - A man who ordered a pint of frozen chocolate custard in a dessert shop got a nasty surprise inside - a piece of severed finger lost by an employee in an accident.

Unlike a recent incident at a Wendy's restaurant in California, no questions of truth have been raised about the finger found in a package from Kohl's Frozen Custard.

State officials went to the shop Monday, and the owner confirmed one of his employees lost part of a finger in an accident with a food-processing machine.

Wilmington television station WWAY reported that Clarence Stowers found the finger in custard he purchased Sunday night.

Stowers, who did not immediately return calls Monday from The Associated Press, told the station: "I thought it was candy because they put candy in your ice cream ... to make it a treat. So I said, 'OK, well, I'll just put it in my mouth and get the ice cream off of it and see what it is.'"

Stowers said he spit the object out, but still couldn't identify it. So he went to his kitchen, rinsed it off with water - and "just started screaming."

Stowers said he planned to contact a lawyer.

Shop owner Craig Thomas said the employee who lost the finger had dropped a bucket while working with a machine that dispenses the custard. He tried to catch the bucket when the accident occurred.

Thomas told WWAY that several employees tried to help the injured worker, and that a drive-thru window attendant apparently scooped custard from the bucket into a pint before being told what had happened.

Joe Reardon of the state Agriculture Department's food and drug division said state officials closed the shop while the food-processing equipment involved was cleaned and sanitized.

In March, a Las Vegas woman claimed she bit down on a 1 1/2 inch-long finger fragment while dining with her family at a Wendy's restaurant in San Jose, Calif.

Investigators have since called her claim a hoax and charged her last month with attempted grand theft related to millions in dollars of financial losses Wendy's has suffered since news of her claim broke.

And the guy who found the finger in his ice cream wouldn't give it back so it could be sewn back onto the employee's finger. So now the poor guy doesn't have a finger.

there's a movie there somewhere ...

or a short story for the next creepshow movie ...
customer in a fat food store treats employee like shit..
causes employee to get fired .. its the last straw - employee kills self ..(in the process losing part of a finger)

same customer shows up a few days later to gloat ... eats food - chokes to death on finger part ...

the end.

Well, apparently the person who the finger belonged to wanted it back so it could be reatatched, and the guy said no way. He better sue for a lot, because he is going to get sued right back. Keeping someone's appendage. Ewww... Some people.
