Confirmed Finger in Custard (Wilmington, North Carolina)

Eaaauw. :vomit:

Seeing "Custard" I thought that this would be something that wouldn't impact anything I ate on a regular basis ... but of course, by "Custard" they mean "Soft Serve Ice Cream."

It's absolutely unbelievable that somebody would be so stupid as to pull this same trick again right after they arrested the last perpetrator. Any fingers that get left lying around seem to end up in restaurants, so the hospitals better start doing better inventory in the ERs before a real epidemic of copycats get started :dead:

As of this time, this is a confirmed finger.

oh GOD yes
 
So this is the consolation prize for thinking the whole chili-finger incident was bogus and eating at Wendy's anyway. Anyone up for a Frosty party?

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Wendy's restaurants are giving away free Frostys frozen desserts this weekend as a thank you to customers who supported the burger chain following an embarrassing incident in California where a women allegedly planted a severed finger in a bowl of chili.

"Our customers stood by us while we defended our good name and protected our employees' livelihoods, so now we're showing our appreciation with free Frostys," Tom Mueller, Wendy's chief executive, said in a press release. "We're moving on."

The incident has hurt Wendy's (Research) business, particularly on the West Coast, with the company estimating same store sales took a 2 to 2.5 percent hit in the most recent quarter.

Anna Ayala of Las Vegas caused a media sensation in March with her claim of the finger in her food at a San Jose, Calif., Wendy's. Police have since charged Ayala with attempted grand theft.

The company estimates it will give away 14 million Junior Frostys during the event, which runs nationwide from Friday through Sunday. No other purchase is required.
