I dropped 1c in the soup. WTF do I do?

LD 50 · 10-05-2010 02:15PM #1

Ok, so I had some change in my hand and was having a look into the pot of soup and I think I dropped 1c into it. Should I say something and get the whole lot thrown out, it wouldn't get replaced and I'd get chewed out. Or just leave it and hope nobody notices?
People are hardly going to get metal poisoning from it, and it's not likely to get put into someone bowl. It'll prob just get rinsed down the drain at the end of the day.

So what would you do?

Keep it to yourself mate or they'll all want one.

/groan.

Biggins · 10-05-2010 02:16PM

Have/had you a second pot and a strainer?

Piss in the pot...

It's the only way to neutralize the poisioning effects of the 1c coin.

magicianz · 10-05-2010 02:18PM

wash the soup and it'll be grand!

Leave it.

Sure the soup is being heated so I guess any bacteria will be killed.

Fast Food Nation describes the following so I wouldn't worry...

The working conditions in these meatpacking plants were brutal. In The Jungle ( 1906) Upton Sinclair described a litany of horrors: severe back and shoulder injuries, lacerations, amputations, exposure to dangerous chemicals, and memorably, a workplace accident in which a man fell into a vat and got turned into lard. The plant kept running, and the lard was sold to unsuspecting consumers.

Could be worse, you could have dropped the screw in the tuna

Any change?

Tell them it's fortified with copper for extra health benefits

Fago! · 10-05-2010 02:30PM

Call the waiter. I'm sure he's used to people complaining of stuff in their soup. Hair and what not.

Bonito · 10-05-2010 02:31PM

If it was in the soup kitchen, you've just made some hobo's day later when he finds spare change in his soup. God bless you Op.

Rename the soup "Oxheads or tails", push it as a promotion.

Grand. Compared to that, my case is nothing. And I'm going to deny all knowledge of everything. They can't prove a thing.

Is that an LD50 test?

This is some kind of metaphor, isn't it?

irish_goat · 10-05-2010 02:44PM

Leave it and deny all allegations against you.

Abrasax · 10-05-2010 02:45PM

Dip your fingers quickly in the soup then bless yourself with it.
It'll be grand, then.

Kasabian · 10-05-2010 02:46PM

Bazzy · 10-05-2010 02:53PM

Unfortunately, FFN and people who quote The Jungle frequently neglect to mention that the book is fiction. Really, really boring and trite fiction based on fairly extensive research, but fiction nonetheless.

I'm sticking with my belief that the OP is a metaphor to ask what people would do if they've fupped up a little bit and think it'll be ok if they keep quiet.

Standard Toaster · 10-05-2010 03:02PM

Just blame the well-meaning but disorganised and constantly confused Spaniard waiter Manuel.

¿Qué?
