Woman: There were "little green worms" in my McDonald's burger

Murielle Glockson, 70, says she ate nearly all the hamburger before her husband saw a worm dangling from her mouth. She thinks other worms were in the burger and that she ate them before getting sick. "i thought I was a goner," she says. (St. Petersburg Times)

Let's see...McDonald's: low-grade, greasy meat, served up by teenagers, retards, or coffin-dodgers that are paid minimum wage and have to be instructed how to be sanitary.

And she's surprised she got sick???

At McVindaloos, Thursday's special is little green worm saag with onion naan and medium chai tea.

.99 cents and you can supersize

Give me a break. Look at the picture her husband took of the burger . . . it's obviously just a caterpillar they stuck on there in an attempt to get money, and this lady has been convicted of fraud before. I smell something, but it ain't worms.

Remember Uncle Leo getting busted for shoplifting on "Seinfeld." These folks need something to do.

It's an epidemic of fast-food fraud:

It really does look fake to me...or the worm is very photogenic!

*major eyeroll at this woman*

Sorry, hun....but people get sick. For all sorts of reasons, especially when they're elderly and have a history of known digestive health issues (in this case, liver.) Happens all the time, irrespective of when/where they last ate. I'm just now getting over a nasty intestinal virus. Should I sue my family just because I happened to start getting sick a day or two after our Thanksgiving get-together? That would be pretty presumptuous...ntm stupid, since I cooked a good bit of it myself, lol.

If caterpillars WERE in the part of the burger she ate, they wouldn't have made her sick. If they could have, where are all the other people who ate at that McDonald's at the same time? Why aren't they sick, too?
Weak case, and I agree about the 'photogenicity' of the caterpillar, too. LOL

hmmmm well if the "worms" were in her burger, but she didn't know it until her husband saw one dangling from her mouth, she should've puked right then and there, personally I would have.

Most foodborn illnesses take 12-14 hours to appear, don't quote me on that its been a few years since I worked as a shift manager at taco bell, either way food is food for that matter, but I can guarentee you that its not an instantaneous illness from consuming the bacteria

wouldn't the worms be dead and not green if they were cooked up in the fryolator? this woman wants a buck or a million...most meat has parasites in them and once cooked the parasites die YUMMY!

I would have to say that a Taco Bell manager is pretty much an expert on the transmission and effects of bacterial food-borne illnesses.

*ducks and runs* LOL

I still love to eat there, however! :-)
