See it as karma indicating you shouldn't eat fries and be grateful it wasn't a hair you found...

No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -

i also got shreds of blue wood in frozen burgers from Tesco, asked for it to be investigated, after a few weeks, Tesco said the blue shreds were from the pallet the burgers were on
luckily I didn't swallow any of them, as I noticed it when I was cooking them.

The burgers were probably higher in saturated fat and lower in fibre than the pallet they were stacked on.3 -
