MCDonald's lovers and restaurant lovers....?

Question

Is anybody familar with an urban legand, in the early 90s, (somewhat lost urban legand) in which a man received a Mcrib sandwitch that contained a rat?

I just learned recently that it was a false urban legand, but my mother swears it was true. I looked on snopes and the only true one I could find was one years later with a chicken head (I know that sounds pleasant, sorry). But I know sometimes with those urban legands, pictures and articles could be so convincing and it was so long ago (like 1992). I am so curious about this one because I really did not think it was real due to the fact that there was no documentation. Also on snopes there were so many variations of the story so I guess the one with MCrat, which started the whole thing (whether true or not) got lost.

Answer 1

I SELL FOOD TO RESTAURANTS AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THEIR FOOD COMES PRE- PORTIONED AND THEY PREPARE IT FROM THE FREEZER TO THE GRILL TO YOUR BUN.

THINK ABOUT IT.  YOU ORDER.  THEY PULL OUT A HAMBURGER PATTY AND THROW IT ON THE GRILL.  WHEN IT IS DONE, THEY PUT IT IN A BUN AND WRAP IT IN A PAPER WRAPPER.  THEY THEN PUT IT IN A SACK AND HAND IT TO YOU.  UNLESS SOMEONE HAD IT IN FOR YOU, HOW COULD A RAT GET INTO THE PROCESS?

I ALSO AGREE WITH YOU THAT, SINCE THERE IS NO DOCUMENTATION, THERE WAS PROBABLY NO RAT.  AND YOUR MOM DID NOT HAVE SNOPES THEN, EITHER.

BON APPETITE!

Answer 2

No, I am not familiar with the McRat story, but I have seen the actual photos of the McDonald's Chicken Head that a woman found in her Chicken Wings.  It's a true story and I remember hearing that she did not receive much compensation for her lawsuit.   As I recall, they said that sometimes things like that do happen in the processing of animals targeted for human consumption and they were looking into improving the processes.

Answer 3

No, none of those can't be true if you can't pull it up anywhere. I read a story in an urban legend book (you might've heard this one) where a lady ordered a McChicken sandwich and specified that she wanted NO mayo. When she receives and bites into the sandwich she tastes and sees mayo and goes back in there to complain. The employees swear they put no mayo on the sandwich and minutes later the woman passes out. The manager checks the whole sandwich but there's no mayo on the bread. Later examination showed that it wasn't at all mayo but a tumor in which the woman bit into and the white puss came out, making her sick.

I know so many more gross urban legends like that...it's not true because if it truly was....McDonald's would've been out of business nationwide.
