SAN JOSE, Calif. - Santa Clara County health officials confirmed Wednesday that the thing a woman bit on when enjoying her chili at a Monterey Highway Wendy's was a human finger. They're not sure whose.
It was about 1 1/2 inches, with a longish, nicely groomed nail.
And while it gave the woman - Anna Ayala, 39, of Las Vegas - a bad case of the willies, it likely caused no physical illness, officials said.
That's because the finger was safely cooked, simmering along at 170 degrees with more traditional * chili ingredients, such as tomatoes and beans.
At about 7:20 p.m. Tuesday, Ayala, in town with her family to drop off her in-laws who live in San Jose, scooped up a mouthful of chili.
''Suddenly something crunchy was in my mouth,'' she said, ''and I spit it out.''
After much examination, she and her tablemates realized just what the special ingredient was.
Then the vomiting commenced.
Police and county health officials were called to the Wendy's, but no one there was missing any digits.

Yeah, I heard about that last night. The concept of waiters spitting on the food taken too far.
 
i heard about this while watching the news with my mom last night. well, it is in San Jose Calif., the most dangerous cit in the country. i would think it smart never to eat there
 
another good reason to never go to fast food chains.

take your buisness to local, small time take out places; Chinese, and pizza places being foremost amoung these, but all kinds (in my town, thie ris even a traditional German, and traditional Jewish/ Yiddish, Middle eastern, Indian, and Greek types of small time, take out places availible) thes eplaces often have soem fot he best food your going to find, at cheap prices, and your not becoming a whore to big buisness, and, your chances of not eating a human body part, or anything other nasty is *with the exception of some places* nill.
 
She's going to get so much money for this that she'll never have to eat in a dump like that again.
 
mmmmm, finger...tastes like chicken! :D
 
Why should she get any money? OK, maybe her 99 cents back, but certainly not some hundreds of thousands of dollars or anything.

The place should be shut down for an immediate health inspection, though.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - Investigators searched the Las Vegas home of a woman who claimed she scooped up a mouthful of finger along with her chili at a Wendy's restaurant last month.

City police, working with their counterparts in Las Vegas, served the warrant Wednesday as they investigated how a finger ended up in Anna Ayala's bowl of chili.

"We are looking into every aspect in this case," San Jose police spokeswoman Gina Tepoorten said. "We are talking to people she knows as well as the finder of the finger. ... We want to determine who this finger belongs to and how it ended up in a bowl of chili."
Identify the finger, collect $$$

On Thursday, Wendy's announced it would give a $50,000 reward to the first person providing verifiable information leading to the positive identification of the origin of the finger.

"It's very important to our company to find out the truth in this incident," said Tom Mueller, Wendy's president and chief operating officer.
 
Well, there's only one thing to do.

Okay, everyone, look at your hands and tell me if you are short any fingers.

I myself have just checked, all fingers are accounted for..

...though I seem to be short a toe.
