I don’t get the point of false fingernails. Or nose studs. Or those big hoopy earrings. They shouldn’t be allowed in food-related environments.

Number one gross thing routinely discovered in those bins of baked buns and rolls at grocery stores? False fingernails.

A 62-year-old disabled woman from Worcester, UK, said she felt sick after eating her favorite instant snack of a chicken and mushroom Pot Noodle and finding what she thought was two false nails in the product.

The company has promised to send her some vouchers as compensation, which she is yet to receive.
 

Skin and nail IDed in UK salad

DNA fingerprinting is awesome.

It takes the ambiguity out of parenthood, crime, and skin and fingernails in salad.

A customer was eating at Pizza Express in West Wickham High Street when she bit into something hard and chewy.

She removed it from her mouth and found something resembling a piece of human skin with part of a nail attached.

DNA testing linked the half-inch piece of skin to the restaurant’s chef, Nicalau Vandley, who had cut his finger while chopping red peppers two days before the salad was served on January 1 this year.

Pizza Express admitted selling food unfit for human consumption and was fined £7,500 at Bromley Magistrates’ Court December 3.

How exactly the skin ended up in the salad is not known.
