I couldn't help but think about this one when I saw the thread, talking about the weirdest thing they ever found in a fuel tank.

Years ago in my home town, back in the days milk was shipped in milk cans. The dairy use to send calanders out to their farmer clients, and of all places in the returning empty milk can. We had a neighbor, spoke broken French-English. He didn't notice the calander, filled the can with milk and shipped it. Next day the dairy returned his can full of milk, no explanation. The farmer seeing that the can came back full, removed the cover to see what was wrong. He said, "I see this thing bobin in milk, I reach in an grab, !@@#%$%^%^&$$%^^$$%^&^&***(((((%%% ka lander." He puts the cover back, put the can out for truck next morning along with several other cans. By h!@#$@$$ me, the can come back empty, I git paid.

Another story I heard about a note tied to the returning milk can, "Mr. Jones, would you be so kind as to put the manure and milk in separate cans and we will mix as we see fit." Signed manager, Bordens Dairy. To which the farmer wrote back, " Dear Sir, your hand writing on our contract was so poor, I thought I was shipping you manure. It seemed like an awfully good price for manure, thus I thought I should add the milk, so as to allow you some chance for profit." Signed Farmer Jones.

Back in 71 or 72 I had lunch at the local truckstop resturant. On the way out I bought a Bun Candy bar and about halfway through it I saw something moving, It was a group of maggots. That was the last time I bought a Bun

Back in 71 when I was hauling milk, I was pulling milk out of a farm bulk tank and had the agitator running. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw something move in the tank. I closed the valve and shut the truck pump off. Just then something came up and then dissapeared again. I grabbed a five tine manure fork and the next time it came up I stuck the fork in the tank and removed a dead cat. Just then the farmer walked in. I reamed him a new butt for not keeping the covers closed on his tank. He was the last stop on that load and he was worried that he would have to pay for the load of milk. I told him that if he kept the covers on after that and kept his mouth shut we wouldn't have a problem. His tank was 2/3 empty already anyway and the milk was going to be made into bleu cheese so I opened the valve and emptied his tank. I now will not touch bleu cheese.

Ball bearing, BB size, in a container of ice cream, noticed it in my mouth. Must have fell out of the automated equipment or something that a bearing failed in.

Last year, anyone recall the baby snapping turtle in the folgers coffee, the lady kept it and froze it. Katrina apparently did some damage to the folgers plant, and I thought that is what I read was the cause.

This isn't food(unless your a kid with a dirty mouth) but while taking a shower one night I noticed I was getting scratched as I lathered up. After a little digging and a pair of pliers later I found a sewing needle molded in the bar of soap.

Bought a Hershey bar once that had a little "chocolate worm" in it- little trails on the bar where he had eaten, and little bits of chocolate manure along the way. The worm (larva, actually) was about a quarter inch long, chocolate colored, and still wiggling along. Worst thing about it was taking it back into the store- girl behind the counter had to run into the back room, presumably to lose her lunch, when I showed it to her.

I have a neighbor/friend/relative-maybe-if-you-dig-deep that regularly has that problem.

Found a baby mouse in the bottom of a soda bottle.

Hairball in a package of hotdogs.

package of buns that looked like it had those chocolate sprinkles in it, and looked like a mouse chewed on a couple of the buns.

There are others I'm sure, but I haven't been over for dinner in a while!

But I personally have bought string cheese and soda pop from the local gas station only to find mold on it (sometimes before opening the package.)

Who among you have taken a load of hogs to market and then cut a load of wheat or soybeans and put the grain in the same truck without washing the bed out? Maybe that's where rye bread come from?

Was eating a plate of spaghetti at a local diner and came on a small screw. Took it back to the kitchen (I knew the owner well) and asked if they were missing any screws. Turns out it was the screw that held the handle on the lid of the sauce pot and they had strained the sauce in vain looking for it!

My mother bit into a Snickers bar and broke her tooth. Seems she broke it on a woody peanut stem of some kind. The company paid her dentist bill, and sent her a whole crap load of more Snickers.

Kinda reminds me of the local dairy years ago. The old man died and the boys were left to run the business. Seems they were a little lax with washing the bottles as customers "complained" of finding money in their milk. (for the younger set, that was in the days when customers would leave their payment in the empty bottles left on the porch)
Oh yeah, and more recently, a freind was eating some muti-grain bread and he found a spiklet (joint) of jointed goat grass!

Some years ago found a piece of plastic in a can of chili. Sent it back to factory and assured them we had not eaten any of the chili and there was no problem there but they might want to check their processing. The company sent back a nice letter, along with some product cupons, thanking me and telling me that it was a chunk of food safe teflon used on paddles in a mixing vat.
