Munchies Cheese Fix Mix From Hell

munchies-cheesefix.gifIn Rockland, two people claim to have discovered a blood-stained, folded-up piece of towel in a bag of Frito-Lay. They were watching The Omen at the time. And now they're suing. (While they're at it, ya think they could have sued Hollywood for producing a junky Omen remake?)

Don't mind Bostonist for being skeptical, but this sounds like a repeat of the finger-in-the-Wendy's-chili incident, only someone didn't cut off his own finger in anticipation of a big payday. Or at least it sounds similar to the SCTV skit in which Bob and Doug McKenzie teach Canadian audiences how to put a mouse in a bottle of beer.

Then again, such cases of food fakery don't mean that the bloody-napkin-in-the-munchies incident didn't happen. Given the latest outbreaks of food poisoning, it isn’t too far out to imagine an injured employee, uh, throwing in the towel. To the credit of the defendants and their lawyer, they've run tests on the paper towel, and the blood didn't come from the man involved in the suit. So expect to hear more about Munchies From Hell in the future.
