Applebee’s Customer Says She Got A Free Metal Bolt With Her Hamburger

[herm0016]

there is no way. the pic shows that its not even threaded. like a large pin, looks like at least a 1/4 in dia. the patty would have fallen apart, and the metel would have shown through.

i looks like its larger than teh largest dimm of the patty anyway! its sticking out a good inch from teh side in teh pic, and those patties are only a couple inches in dia.

how in the hell did the cook while making the pattie not feel a bolt between his fingers?

oh wait ya she brought it with her.

Most if not all food processing plants in the United States would use some form of metal detection like this: http://us.mt.com/us/en/home/products/Product-Inspection_1/metal-detection.html

Also, lockwire bolts on some machinery: http://blog.loosco.com/bid/72098/Loos-Co-Safety-Lockwire

I found an unused staple in a take out salad. I found it in my mouth as I was chewing. I was lucky it didn't puncture my gum or that I didn't swallow it. We called the restaurant later and the flunky said that they wouldn't charge us extra for the staple...
