Disney World guests file lawsuit after allegedly eating bug-infested food

[xdan0920]

Eating bugs may be unpleasant (to some) and may be indicative of poor food handling techniques, but in and of themselves, most insects are not going to give you "food poisoning".

Spoken like a man with experience in bug eating.

I think I'd notice that before I put it in my mouth.

As my father would say: "Just crawling with vitamins!"

 

[AdamNV87]

Am I the only one who kinda understands why they'd be upset?

 

[larryz]

Whatever happened to "That's not a bug -- that's a feature!"?

Who the heck eats healthy stuff like lettuce wraps on vacation. The only way you are getting me to eat lettuce is if it’s on top of a double cheeseburger and served with a side of fries

If you stick to the deep fat fried stuff the bugs are just cooked in.

 

[GoofGoof]

My question is why would you proceed to eat it when you notice a bunch of bugs everywhere?

Because it was free.

No way those little guys caused food poisoning. They look easily digested to me.

Okay, yes, I'd be disgusted if i are that without knowing.... But how did they not notice when they grabbed the lettuce from the bar, placed more food inside the lettuce, picked up the lettuce to take a bite, etc.

I'm sorry they got sick so badly they had to go to the ER. That sounds absolutely miserable. I hope they're healing and on the mend.

Is the buffet at the Poly completely indoors, or could the bugs have flown into the buffet area and landed on the food?
Either way, most of this lawsuit sounds like b.s. to me. Some people look at Disney and see $$ in front of their eyes. I've been eating salad at a restaurant, and saw a little inchworm crawling on to my fork. I told the waitress, and we got the meal for free. I left, didn't go back again, and everyone was happy. Maybe I should have sued the restaurant on false claims and made a few bucks out of it?

$15K doesn't sound like a lot for a 90-page lawsuit.

You are not. That is disgusting. I'd be highly upset myself. I had bugs in my chipotle lettuce once before so it's not fun at all.

Chipotle has to be one of the most overrated restaurants in America. The food is terrible and is mostly beans and rice.

...says nobody

What’s wrong with beans and rice?

It’s double spaced with wide margins

 

[GoofGoof]

Does that count as a restaurant? I guess the way McDonald’s is technically called a restaurant.

It’s technically a Mexican Grill...at least according to the sign

It’s so simple and cheap, there is nothing special about it. The meat they use is low quality and in general lacks flavor. The salsa is basically plain diced tomatoes.

McDonald’s at least attempts to have some idea they are a fast food establishment. Chipotle comes off holier than thou with their disingenuous message of quality ingredients and fantastic recipes. They literally wrap up mostly beans and rice, 2 of the cheapest foods available, in a tasteless tortilla from a bag.

$15K is just the floor amount to move it up to a circuit civil court.

Same here! It would probably make me paranoid and I would make myself crazy inspecting all my food for the whole trip. But what I don't understand is why they would notice the bugs, THEN EAT THEM?

The little bugs are aphids...which are common and not poisonous. It means, however, that the lettuce was not properly rinsed or inspected.
