Answer 5

A lot of times fast food places do use ground bone in there meat. They also use fillers that can be sort of grainy. You probably got a hard piece of one of those.

It's part of the tooth of the last guy who tried to eat it.  

They recycled it.

Answer 7

Could be a piece of bone or cartilage.  I've had that happen to me.

Answer 8

Bone, store bought patties go through a mass production. Bone is usually sifted out and is usually not part of the process, but anything can happen. There are also hard parts of meat, which could also be an option. My guess... bone.
