SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A Las Vegas woman arrested after saying she found a human finger in a bowl of Wendy's chili told a court on Tuesday that she will not fight extradition to California where the incident occurred.

Quote
Ayala's attorney said she was ready to face the charges in California. Ayala is also suspected of bilking a San Jose area woman out of $11,000.

"I thought it was candy because they put candy in your ice cream ... to make it a treat. So I said, 'OK, well, I'll just put it in my mouth and get the ice cream off of it and see what it is.'"

he spit the object out, but still couldn't identify it. So he went to his kitchen, rinsed it off with water

Almost bad enough now at most fast food places to just avoid them altogether....

just stay home and have your homemade chili, homemade ice cream... or, if you're really into it, FINGERS and fries  ;D

What ever happened to "finders keepers"?  ;D
...OK, the finger keeping guy really is a belly crawler.

As for the Wendy's Wacko...I still can't figure out why she didn't just spill hot coffee on herself...that one always works...and no need to chop off dead relatives fingers.

Ugh. A severed finger in a bowl of Wendy's chili would actually make the chili slightly healthier.

I've known several people who've worked at Wendy's, and there are some serious horror stories about the chili they serve. Mainly the fact that they keep the unused chili from day to day and add it to the next days batch, so if they never sell out of their chili each day, you could eat a bowl that has chili from MONTHS ago in it.

That, and the employees toss rancid ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- they find on the floor into it.

Got one the other day, and after picking up the kids and their friends from bowling the other day, took 'em all.  They all thought I was the bee's knees (or whatever the whippersnappers of today say about something kewl) for treating 'em to frosty's, until they got 'em.

It's nice and all, giving away free frosty's, but the size they're giving away is the "just larger than a dixie cup" one.  Still, I like Wendy's, so I'll keep going.

On the plus side, there's only a small amount of the stuff that's in frosty's that you are ingesting.....makes it easier to stomach, since it won't separate before you're done eating it.

I thought they were really small...........

It ALWAYS makes me laugh that people associated in scams/frauds/etc, when it becomes public, they are arrested on "unrelated charges of failure to pay child support".

Just shows us the type of people involved in this crap.

I say she planted it... if you had read the stories, you'd see she has sued fast food chains before as well as other local businesses.

CORRECT!
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9271757/

"A Nevada couple pleaded guilty Friday to all charges related to planting a human finger in a bowl of Wendy's chili in a scheme to extort money from the fast food restaurant chain."

Yay.

Now I wonder if that woman who had the mouse in the peanut butter planted it... the story magically morphed into they were apples and she stopped commenting.

That one seems a lot more like she was paid off.

Yes it was a friends finger which was severed in an accident. I think they said that they bought it from him for $50.

"A search for the finger's owner eventually led to one of Placencia's co-workers, who lost it in an industrial accident in Las Vegas, police said."

I probably did, but since this case has no bearing on me, the memory space was most likely re-allocated for something more important, like which stores in my town carry my favorite beer, or something equally earth shattering. :)

The store that carries all of my favorite beers, even the hard to get Canadian imports, is within easy walking distance of my house.

That is a bad thing.
