    Don't ever search for a book called "Natural harvest".

    I found a ring in a Barmbrack once which i successfully sued the manufacturer for a tidy little amount.

    I got some blue plastic inside a meat pie.

    I emailed a picture to the manufacturer. They wrote me a detailed apology explaining how the plastic got in there and that my photo was now going to be shown to their staff as an example in their training.

    A couple of weeks later they dropped me out 5 pies, a recipe book and €3.50 refund of the price of my original pie.

    I was impressed by their response and continued to purchase their pies.

    (I actually ate the original pie once I had picked out the plastic, it was still pie)

    Same thing happened to me years ago when I was a kid.
    Found blue plastic in a fish finger.
    My mum told me to write in to complain.
    a week or so later, a delivery man from the company arrived and stocked up our freezer with a range of all their products and a letter from the company.
    We dined for nearly 2 weeks on frozen foods of wedges, fish, burgers etc...! :D

    I felt a crunch between my teeth and found a shard of shiny metal in my mouth while eating a bag of Lidl nuts. I put it away carefully....



    Was considering either returning them to the store or maybe writing an email and getting a ball of money to keep quiet.... then I noticed I had gap in my tooth where my filling used to be....

    Not really a food one but once when a barman was pulling me a pint a plaster came flying out of the tap and into the pint.

    Got free pints for the rest of the night, not off the same tap though:D

    I once ordered a pizza from Pizza hut and when I opened the box there was a Pizza Hut pizza inside.

    Only myself to blame really.

    Lizard in a tin of tomatoes

    I've had various bugs and beatles in salads.

    Not quite the same but when my brother was about 10 he complained to Cadbury's when we got a multipack of penguins that were one short. They sent back a box of Milk Tray and a few other sweets. He thought this was great so next time we went shopping he went through the entire shelf of multipacks until he found another one that was short a bar. He kept going for about 6 weeks although the 'apology' got more and more meager ending in a couple of dairy milk's.

    Found a few worms inside raspberries from Lidl a while back. About five or six raspberries were harbouring the little ****s.



    I was half way through the pack. I'll never know.....

    A cigarette butt in my can of beer at a party though I'm pretty sure it was added after I opened it.

    Cue projectile spew at the kitchen sink.

    I once found a mouse in a bratwurst, he was nicely cooked though so no harm done.

    My mother once got a cigarette butt in her mash potato. It was a café in the late 80s, I wont say the name but she was disgusted.

    Oh and my brother once got a tooth in a Rolo - in fairness it was his own tooth, he was about 9 or 10.

    It was very nice of Cadbury to compensate him for a mistake made by a different company, in fairness.

    😀 I meant it in a generic sense. We used to get the small snack size bars for school like penguins, club milks, club orange etc. I don't remember what the bars were, the milk tray made an impression though.

    Ah I knew what you meant I was only being a bollocks. I remember bringing a club milk to school once that turned out to be solid chocolate all the way through. A great day. Not really on topic though.

    I remember a friend found a mosquito like thing in her wham bar on the way back from school years ago. I told her to pack it up and send it off to the company.

    She brought it home and left it in the kitchen, ready to be sent. Her dad came home and ate it. :pac:
