Subject: New Pizza Topping
Hey Guys,
Just sending out this warning to all of you Shakey's pizza lovers out
there.
Last sunday (January 2, 2005) my kids and I were watching dvd's and
decided to have a little snack, so we called Shakey's hotline to have a
big Pepperoni Crunch pizza delivered I had the misfortune of having my Pepperoni Crunch delivered to me with an extra topping, {bleep}roaches (please see attached picture). You can see on the pix that the {bleep}roach has been cooked inside the pizza, it's really disgusting.

It ruined our night and has caused my kids a bit of trauma, now they
really check and break apart any food they eat. I hate for it to happen to you guys so maybe you should think twice before you pick-up the phone to have your Shakey's pizza delivered. Please pass this email to as much pizza lovers as you can, they might be next. Thanks,
Kenneth Tan...

Greetings,

Well, if you're watching 'AXN', you'll see some reality shows like 'Fear Facotor'. They've eaten much gross things than a 'cooked ----roach in the pizza'.

Actually, some guy would sue the network for it cause he was gross out.

Thankgod for that, chances are I wouldn't been able to sleep if that pic would actually load here....(not that I've clicked the link though ;-)).

Damn right! I once found living thing inside a box of mushrooms I bought, I carefully check mushrooms eversince before I cook them. Also I once found empty hatching cocoons of very tiny things in a packet of rice.....only the gods know where they went off too .

Eww! That's gross.

Urban legend has it in these parts that a local woman went to a well known fast food emporium for a late night fast food fix, only to fall ill shortly after.

Luckily she'd discarded some of the meal in it's polystyrene box, which was subsequently found to be the source of her infection...

As well as cheese, gherkins and stringy lettuce was also the semenal emissions of five different men, one of which was sufferring from an STD.

Not sue how true it is, but seeing the calibre of "Johnny no stars" staff they employ late at night I can't say I'm particularly surprised.

Thankfully I don't eat mushrooms or rice (although Sioux does, but she buys the fresh pick'n'mix mushrooms).

I remember hearing a story a few years ago about someone (can't remember, but I think it was an employee, but it could have been a customer) in Tesco in the fruit and veg section who got bitten by a spider while they were checking out the bananas.

Me being arachnophobic hasn't touched bananas in a shop since :-)

One of the last meals I had at the hospital staff cafeteria was chicken and cauliflower. It was quite tasty and we were sitting there (about 6 radiographers and a few nurses) just talking and eating. On close inspection, I noted that the cauliflower did not in fact have a sprinkling of pepper on it, the tiny black specks were actually baby roaches!! You had to look very closely to see the antennae on them (in fact these roaches were so small that some people couldn't see that these were roaches even after I told them).
I then took great delight in visiting other tables and asking them if they liked the cauliflower. When they nodded and smiled, I told them they were roaches, not pepper. You should have seen their faces!
I'll say one thing: the roaches were quite tangy, that's probably why the pepper disguise worked so well.
Of course I had a little word with the catering manager about this. My subsequent investigation revealed bags of cauliflower that had been left out on the loading platform for two nights where they were obviously converted into love shacks by the local roach community.
Ironically the fact that there were so many specks on the cauliflower meant that nobody was the wiser. If there had been fewer specks (say ten or less per plate) the roaches would have been found earlier. Based on the amount of specks per square inch and the fact that we each ate at least one third of the meal, I estimate that we each ate at least thirty baby roaches that day.

That is so way beyond foul. I'm going to heave now! (insert vomiting smiley)

Yuck

I just recently returned from Eddie's Seafood and BBQ buffet in Dunn, NC after swallowing a 2 foot long strand of hair.

I felt it go down, and tried to pull it up, but it seemed to be anchored to something already in my stomach. To make it worse, I couldn't break or cut it because the feeling of it sliding down my throat constantly triggered my swallow reflex so I couldn't stop it going down, so there I was making this strange gagging motion as all 2 feet of it entered my system.

@T-Bone

Ugh! That's the worst thing, swallowing someone else's hair.

It happens to me frequently at the swimming pool, I'll be on a flying lap when all of a sudden I'll get hair in my mouth or wrapped around my face and goggles.

I'm quite squemish with food, I remember once as a very small child my mother was serving new potatoes with our Sunday roast. My father put his knife into the boiled spud, only to find an earthworm had made a home in it. Five minutes later my brother found exactly the same thing in his.

Since then I've been unable to stomach boiled or mashed potatoes and refuse to eat them. I can eat them roasted or as fries but that's it. This led to many battles of will in our house as mum would continually serve potato for my evening meal, which I'd always fail to eat. It took roughly 17 years of this before she finally capitulated and accepted that I don't like them, won't ever like them and have never liked them.

@ T-Bone

There is a medical term for a hairball, as pertains to humans. It is trichobezoar, also sometimes called simply bezoar. Some people who habitually chew their hair (usually adolescent females) develop a bezoar in the stomach and this can cause an obstruction.
If you eat too much hair, we are going to have to rename you T-Bezoar

Edit: next time don't ask for a pizza 'with everything on it'
