    So I bought some Aldi Chicken Chunks earlier and was feeling a bit peckish. So I cut open the packet to put some on when I find a suprise... An elastic band. I uploaded pictures to this post :p

    Such a weird thing to find. Like, it's not grossest of things. Not like a big long hair. Only an elastic band. But still... shouldnt be there :p

    So whats the weirdest thing you ever found opening something up?

    I found a live maggot in a bag of Wheelies when I was young. My mother sent it back and a guy out from the company came to our house to apologise and gave us two boxes of Tayto:eek:

    Enjoy your crisps folks:cool:

    I once found a large piece of wood in cat food, like a massive splinter from a pallet or something.
    Wrote to Whiskas or whatever brand it was and got lots of vouchers and food samples with a letter of apology.

    A friend once found a hypodermic syringe in a packet of a popular confectionary brand. The idiot just binned the packet and didn't report the contamination to the manufacturer who would definitely like to have known. He missed out on a lot of free sweets!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    The elastic band will probably count as your "salad" in comparison to whatever bits of chicken were left and compiled to make those......chunks.

    I was in Baldonnel air base years ago , some of the food in the canteens was chunks .Brown flavoured chunks , hot chunks , chunks with chips , chunks with chunks.

    The only place I ate where I didn't know what type of food it was.

    RobbingBandit looks at his Marks and Spencer Cooked and Ready to Eat Chicken Breasts, sure they cost over €10 for 4 but god damn it there ain't no elastic bands round these parts, God Save The Queen...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 306 ✭✭SweetChaos


    where is the elastic band in the pic with the visible nuggets? :mad:

    I once found a wing nut in a large pack of Manhatten Popcorn.

    I was with all my mates and when I showed them, they told me to fcuk off messing :confused:

    I bought some Hunky Dorys Buffalo a few years ago and there were 4 flavour cubes inside. My friend dares me to eat one and I did.. They're really really mank :(

    That free cat food must have tasted even better.

    I think I see what's happened here, OP.
    If you look at Figure 1, on the table behind the newly opened bag of "Chicken Chunks", lies an inconspicuous elastic band. Then, at some point - presumably while you're lining up the shot for Figure 2, it sneaks off, and then by the time you've moved on to Figure 3, the elastic band has made its way into your hand. And so, it has tricked you into thinking that it came from the bag of Chicken Chunks, as opposed to the table behind it. Classic magician trick - old as the hills.

    You really have too much time on your hands :) :pac:

    Be more surprised if you find any chicken in there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,574 ✭✭✭whirlpool


    There's probably more chicken in the elastic band than in the chunks in fairness.

    Piece of a cows eyelash attached to skin in pot noodles!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,797 ✭✭✭Sir Osis of Liver.


    Im sure it will taste fine when its deep fried.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,122 ✭✭✭BeerWolf


    Glass... and it was already when I was eating it, whatever it was that I ate [was years ago]... :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,797 ✭✭✭Sir Osis of Liver.


    Found a Crane Fly(flying daddylonglegs )in a McDonalds meal once.
    Brought it up to complain as there were legs and wings scattered among the fries and the little bitch behind the counter accused me of putting him there.
    So fcuking disgusted I just threw the lot on the counter and walked out.
    I could have demanded a replacement or to see the manager but didn't have the stomach for it after swallowing insect wings.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,580 ✭✭✭✭Riesen_Meal


    Found a spider in a milky bar when I was a kid, lots of free Nestlé stuff for my troubles....

    Also found what looked like a bullet shaped bit of metal in a mars bar as a child, lots of free stuff for that also...

    Most recently got a box of Scottish shortbread, the packaging was melted to the food and had these chunks of sugar melded to it, got a cheque for 10 pounds sterling for that one!

    same here and years ago too - tin of KVI brand spaghetti from either GIANT or Crazy Prices - brought it back and they sent out a massive hamper of awesome stuff with no glass it in.

    There was enough glass in the tin to easily do serious damage or kill someone.

    Nuggets?

    There is a hierarchy of dip-able chicken products:

    Tenders / Goujons > Wings > Nuggets > Chunks > scrapings > chicken sh*t

    I found a twig in a packet of Tesco Value peanuts that cost 87 cents.

    Im ashamed to say that a year later I got compensated financially for it, but I was too afraid to spend it I donated it to a charity cycle


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,580 ✭✭✭✭Riesen_Meal


    My friend got a 20 box of JP Blue with a 16 in it, perfect box, she got 40 smokes back, at least they will kill her eventually... :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,158 ✭✭✭✭Annasopra


    Now you know what the chicken chunks are made of

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I know I'm probably leaving myself vulnerable to further questioning here but I think I would get sick on the spot if I found an elastic band in food. I'm absolutely disgusted by balloons and elastic bands and would have to paid a fortune to touch one. If I'm ever somewhere where they have balloons up I can feel my stomach churning and need to leave ASAP lest one falls on me. Just bleugh.

    So what's your opinion on airheaded people then?

    I was eating some Bombay mix once when I bit something hard. I took whatever it was I had bitten out of my mouth and saw that it was a stone. I was lucky I didn't break my teeth on it.
