Strange objects in the can?!?

by Brian McKim & Traci Skene on September 5th, 2007

The Male Half found a shelf-load of Brooks-Eckerd brand peanuts (“Party Peanuts!”) at the Eckerd down the road. They’re switching the Eckerds over to RiteAids, so they’re slashing prices on items like this– He paid 24 cents for a 6 oz. can! To paraphrase Killer Beaz, “Stock up!”

The Female Half decided to crack one open the other day when– Horrors!– she found an unidentified object resting atop the party peanuts! We calmed down after determining it wasn’t… organic! (Hardly a quarter passes when you don’t hear about someone finding a digit in their McSalad or a mouse in the chili!)

We poked at it and examined it and determined it was something that got shook loose during the Party Peanut Packing Process. Perhaps a machine part. A robot finger!

The lady on the other end of the RiteAid customer service line actually guffawed when the Female Half trotted out her Robot Finger Theory. We’ve been told to take the offending can and mechanical digit back to the point of purchase for a full refund and a free can of nuts!
