> A woman in northern Japan bit into a rice ball she bought at a convenience store and got a gruesome surprise: a fingertip.
> 
> The woman spit out a mouthful of her Korean bibimbap-flavored snack after she tasted something unusual and discovered a one centimeter (half-inch) slice of human finger, said Takashi Fujii, a spokesman for the convenience store Lawsons said.

All together now: **EWWWWWWWWW!!!**
