Strange Brew Reality Show: Finger Found in Frozen Custard

strange_brew_mckenzie.jpgRemember that movie Strange Brew? No? You 'tard, go rent it. Classic. Anyway, in that movie the McKenzie brothers run this scam to try and get free beer. You know the scam I'm talking about, they raise a mouse in a beer bottle.

With all this news about fingers being found in all sorts of foodstuffs I can't help but wonder if various deadbeats aren't just trying to get some free stuff. But frozen custard? Who would want a lifetime supply of frozen custard? Freaking hosers.

Tim from Opinion Bug sends along this link:

It's already making national headlines. An employee at Kohl's Frozen Custard on South College Road in Wilmington, accidentally cut off part of his finger on the job Sunday night. His finger tip wound up in a pint of chocolate custard, and the customer that found it plans to sue.

We don't know the employees name, but we do know he's 23 years old, and lost part of his right index finger in a custard machine. "The employee was attempting to put a bucket full of chocolate ice cream into the dipping cabinet when he dropped it and attempted to catch it in mid air," the Kohl's Store Co-Owner Craig Thomas tells NewsChannel 3. During the freak accident, the employee put his finger through the hole that dispenses frozen custard. The beaters inside took the tip of his finger right off, and through a series of unfortunate events, the finger wound up in Clarence Stowers custard.

"I said 'Gosh this ice cream is good.' Then I said, 'Gosh, there's something hard in my ice cream," said Clarence, remembering the moments before he found the finger. Clarence said he wished he'd realized it was a finger before he tried to eat it. "I proceeded to put the object in my mouth. Got all the ice cream off of it, spit it in my hand, said 'God, this ain't no nut!' So I proceeded in here to the kitchen, rinsed it off with water, and realized it was a human finger, and I just started screaming," he said.

1 I saw the 'customer' on the news - a large, effeminate-voiced fellow with man-boobs. Just the type that would want a lifetime of frozen custard.

2 This one is no joke. It actually was a finger. A worker lost part of his/her finger in the dispensing machine shortly before fat boy arrived. The clerk didn't know about the injury and scooped the custard from the bucket that the injured person was filling. NC State Health people are down there now, making sure the place is cleaned up. Sad coincidence of timing.
