See article...I tried to provide a link for the full, but it didn't work.

What did the article at least say? It's not on cnn.com now. Unwashed hands or something?

People should just get a meat grinder, beans and make their own chili.

SAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) -- A diner at a Wendy's fast food restaurant in San Jose, California, found a human finger in a bowl of chili prepared by the chain, local officials said Wednesday.

"This individual apparently did take a spoonful, did have a finger in their mouth and then, you know, spit it out and recognized it," said Ben Gale, director of the department of environmental health for Santa Clara County. "Then they had some kind of emotional reaction and vomited."

Apparently, it's a ploy to outdo KFC.

Yep, then they can eat their own fingers.

[Big_E]

Mmmm finger sandwiches!

Why waste time grinding them?

[BronxByTheBay]

I wonder if it came off the dollar menu.

[wexy]

I never considered chili finger food.

[NYYFAN]

Mmmm finger sandwiches!

You would think someone was missing their finger in the literal sense and pulled it out of the chili...unless the rest of the meat is ground up human...

[NYYFAN]

I know what they did with Dave Thomas now!!!!!!!!!!

[penfold]

Mmmm finger sandwiches!

And/or lady fingers for dessert!

[RhodeyYankee2638]

im going to buy some chili right now!!! hopefully they've slashed the prices

[Hitman23]

I like the chili option better then the fries.

[chanman7483]

I don't care. If there's a human finger in it i'd still eat it... so delicious, the chili is.

2 order of nuggets, sometimes a bacon cheeseburger, and an order of chili and fries is my usual.

[Casey37]

And/or lady fingers for dessert!

mmm....finger lickin' good!

[Snatch Catch]

mmm....finger lickin' good!

Man, the first thing I would do if I was eating there would be to ralph everywhere.

Then I would give the finger to the employees.

[thecaptain]

I like their chili also. The next time I order it I will request without a finger.

We'll be hearing more about this. It's not like they found a human hair. Somebody's missing a finger, probably at a chicken processing plant. Shouldn't be too hard to find who it belonged to.

[Evil Empire]

Haven't there been a lot of body parts found in food recently (Fingers, hands, penis' etc)? It's all quite weird

Now is the time to buy the Wendy's chili. You won't find another finger now.

[Espinosa's Glasses]

Thats fine its not like human fingers fall off like hotcakes...

[nyyfanatic85]

I've always wanted to know how fingers tasted. I've heard they taste like chicken but but the knuckle is extra crunchy, with a little bit of a juicy surprise in the middle.

If you ever eat your fingers... make sure you eat cheetos first...

[yankeesfaninaz]

I have never tried their chili. I have not been to Wendys since I stopped going to college.

[Jersey Yankee]

Mmmm finger sandwiches!

Finger food at Wendy's. Don't worry, ketchup will be the vegetable.

[ACPS]

I want a severed hand on a stick for my B-Day this year. My back itches.

[Dave Visbeck]

Was there any mention to whether the nail was clean or not?

[BroadwayBomber55]

I'm stickin' to Campbell's Chunky Chili. I perfer ordering a sandwich and a sour cream and chives baked potato as a side or a salad, instead of Wendy's chili.

[Archer1979]

Every time I read this thread, I get a flash of Ricardo Montalban eating a hot dog while watching Enrico Pallazzo perform the National Anthem.

[YankeePride1967]

When I saw the title, I was expecting an ex-lax moment.

[Mattpat11]

"Then they had some kind of emotional reaction and vomited."

Vomiting in such a circumstance is considered emotional?

Hey, I missed something.

[hgsouth]

i just came from wendys.. mozzarella chicken sandwich .

Oooohhh I wanted to try the mozzarella cheeseburger. Mmm...cheese.

The chili rocks also. If you can find a Wendy's/Tim Hortons combo buy a chili from wendy's for 99c and a breadbowl from Tim Hortons for 1.00 and you have chili in a breadbowl for like 2.05. Its awesome for a college student

[krystl]

Yep, then they can eat their own fingers.

I shouldn't have laughed at that, but I couldn't help it!

[krystl]

Wendy's chili has been the subject of similar stories in the past, which I believe were found to be false. Has this been confirmed as true?
