Rat bread

Rats just get into the damnedest places. Kind of reminds you of the 'notmyjob' image from a couple of years ago, doesn't it?

You see a rat in bread, I see about a million dollar settlement.

That's so awesome, man it really does happen.

I should point out that that's a mouse, not a rat.

jennofay · 01-16-2002, 09:32 AM

i agree. mouse.

russotto · 01-16-2002, 12:45 PM

Mouse. You'll be lucky to get $250,000 from that one.

The question I have is: what happened to the 1000 loaves that went through the same slicing machine after this one?

Yes, those are the loaves that you and I ate.

01-16-2002, 01:32 PM

Makes you not want to eat bread, doesn't it?

jeni · 01-16-2002, 01:42 PM

the first thing i said when i saw it was "that's a mouse."

yay, rodent lovers jenno and dave

It's also a huge liability exposure for some bread company, and solid gold for the lucky finder.

And sure, I would agree not to file suit if they cut me a check for $250,000.

After cutting me a mouse.

Yick.

"lucky" referring to the fact that they hadn't yet made their grilled cheese, not that they stumbled upon some money

wheat bread anyone?

Joe · 01-16-2002, 02:53 PM

Aren't food manufacturers *allowed* a certain number of rats, mice, insects or insect parts per unit of product? Isn't there a set tolerance?

There's a spec somewhere I think that says something to the effect of "Bread must be 99.99999% rat-free". I don't know exactly what the percentage happens to be, my point is that it isn't 100%.

Which read differently says "For every ten million loaves of bread you ship, you may include one containing a sliced rat".

Mouse.

Whatever.

I haven't bought bread from the store since we bought our bread machine. Show me a picture of a rat/mouse/squirrel in a bag of flour... now *that* will have some meaning for me.

It's actually that food may be impure up to a certain point. In other words, you've eaten rat shit before, no doubt about it. Some in a hamburger or cheese or whatever. I don't think there's a specific "rat quotient" for food or anything, but yes, there definitely are more things in our food than we think.

Stats also suggest that the average United States human swallows 3-4 spiders per year. Yum!
