Did anybody else read the thread title and wonder why **Rilchiam** decided to stick her finger in custard and freak out over it? 😃

I had not heard this latest digital food story until this thread. I am out of touch with the world today.

Someone needs to tell this guy that “finger-lickin good” is a _metaphor_.

Why do I get the feeling that management heads are going to roll over this one. If an accident occurs, and the product is polluted like that, you have to throw out the entire batch, not package it for sale anyway. :eek: I hope the person who thought it would be ok to just sell the stuff anyway never works in the food industry again!

What a jerk! Hangs onto it so the kid can’t get it reattached then once it’s too late he adds insult to injury by giving the poor kid the finger.
