Here's a nightmare scenario: A 10-year-old girl allegedly bit into a dead frog that was inside her McDonald's chicken wrap.
The girl, named Cordellia Buckley, had ordered a Sweet Chili Chicken McWrap via the drive-thru at an outpost of the Golden Arches in north Wales. After receiving her order and biting into the meal, she told her dad, Dave Buckley, that something felt tough and rubbery. That's when the duo supposedly discovered a 4-inch-long amphibian.
"It's not a natural thing, like finding a slug in your lettuce. It was quite obvious that someone had put it in there, I suspect as a Halloween prank," Dave Buckley told ITV News. "Someone is making these wraps up. A frog doesn't just turn up in a wrap. I don't think it was a mistake, but if it was then it's crazy that someone didn't notice it. Cordie was just disgusted that she had a frog in her mouth and she still isn't eating properly." At least it wasn't a tooth, am I right?
Buckley has gone on to criticize the fast-food company for the way it has handled the situation, saying that the brand has not apologized or offered a refund. Instead, he says, McDonald's has asked him to return the frog.
In contrast, a McDonald's spokesperson told the IBTimes UK "The customer did not raise this with anyone in our restaurant on Saturday. Our wraps are freshly prepared when ordered and it is extremely unlikely this originated from our restaurant and there is no evidence to suggest otherwise at this stage. We have asked the customer to return the item to us, so that we can investigate further."
