In 1973, when my daughter was a baby, I bought a bunch of bananas from a grocery store in Beatrice, Nebraska, USA. There was a pure red spider, red body, red legs, in the bananas. I smashed it as it ran across the table. I figured it came from whatever country in which the bananas were grown, and did not tell the store. I have often tried to see a photo on the internet to find out what kind of spider it was. (Have never been able to identify it, and I flushed it down the toilet right after finding it. YECCHHH!)

This had to be a nightmare for these folks who made these discoveries. Good piece.

Great article! I’m certainly going to be more watchful around the fruit dept when I go shopping from now on.
Your article also reminded me that when I was a kid, I once asked my father why he didn’t drink soda out of a can. He told me that he had once found a dead mouse in a can of grape soda so now all soda belonged in a glass before ever reaching his lips!
To this day, I won’t drink soda out of a can, either. Better safe than sorry!

Jeez, I’m going to be scared to go near bananas now!
And what about that FINGER at Wendy’s? After reading that, I am possibly never purchasing custard from Wendy’s.
What a good article.

Interesting article. You have some great ideas for unusual articles. I actually found a dead mouse in a bag of potatoes once. I just threw the bag of potatoes away. I didn’t bother with telling the store about it. I probably should have I might have got some money out of it! lol And once I found a small piece of glass in an Eggo Waffel. Once again did nothing about it. And one time My husband and I were eating out at a mexican restaurant and my husband bit into something hard. The manager seemed to think it was the tip of an avacado and gave us a few coupons for free dinners and appitizers.
