When you're at a fancy restaurant and are telling the chef "Surprise me", you're hoping for something good. A secret ingredient, a beautiful presentation, maybe even a song and dance number, if you're in one of those places.
What you don't expect is something straight out of a horror movie: a screw, a bug, a slug, or a piece of a plastic bag. Unfortunately, the people from this list each had a taste of at least one of these. We don't recommend snacking while scrolling through this list, as some of the disgusting finds might seriously put you off food. Keep these in mind the next time you order from that poorly-rated food joint at 2 A.M.

#13 I Ordered A Cheddar Mcmelt Without Onions. It Came Not Only With Onions, But With Whatever Rubber Thing This Is In It
I didn't even get full refund, I got the price of the burger in the combo (13R$ out of the 37R$ I paid) back (which isn't enough to even buy another one outside a combo), and iFood didn't even give me the option to get it replaced or something. F**k this McDonald's, 3rd order I get from them and 3rd time they get it wrong.

#19 I Found A Live Slug In The Bottom Of A Mint Container That I Just Used To Make A Huge Bowl Of Tzatziki
i’m good about washing my produce after a food poisoning incident a while back, but admittedly never thought to wash herbs in those little containers! i’ll be honest about my mistake in the hopes of teaching others who may not know—i figured the herbs were pre-washed like other produce that are in plastic containers. i made a huge thing of tzatziki with a good amount of mint and was obviously tasting it the whole time to get the seasonings right. I was about to use the mint for something else and noticed a brown ball thing. picked it up and it turned out to be a slug. I nearly gagged but i’m glad i noticed!! i’m glad i had more ingredients to remake the recipe since i had to throw this batch away.
ALWAYS WASH YOUR PRODUCE EVEN IF YOU THINK IT’S CLEAN!

Total of 8 sparse emails between us. Company told me they wanted me to send them the cheese back, that they’d send me a package with ice packs to mail back to them. They did not. I repeatedly emailed them, to get little response back. Eventually, I just never heard back.

#26 My Wife’s Salad At Texas Road House Last Night

#36 Got A Croissant At Dunkin Donuts. When I Bit Into It At Work I Found A Screw In It
Apologies, I did not have a banana for scale. As the title says I bit into the screw. Luckily, not hard. It was a croissant with butter. I'm convinced it was baked into it and not a careless employee who ignored it when buttering the croissant. I tried calling them through the phone on the google maps listing but no luck. I know they no longer bake these things at the stores, they get them from a distributor so I wanted to tell them to toss their batch. Since they didn't answer their phone I tried social media but that was slow and all they did was take my info and said the franchise owner would get back to me. After work I went back with the half eaten croissant and screw and the rest of my order. The manager wasn't there but they called them. Over the phone the manager apologized and asked me questions about it, I told them what I thought they should do and they said they were gonna reach out to their supplier and agreed to give me a refund. And I guess that's it. If I hear back from the franchise owner I'll ask what other stores their supplier also delivers to so I can avoid those locations. If they don't tell me, then I guess I'm done with DD.

#46 Fingernail Found In Buccees Beef Jerky
More than mildly infuriating but I'm disgusted. I bought this jerky last night at a buccees in Kentucky and I was finishing up the crumbs at the bottom of the bag when I bit on something that felt like sand or dirt, I spit it out and it's a dirty fingernail. I'm in Florida now so it's not like I can go back to the store but like how does this even happen? Are they packaging this stuff without gloves?
