Russians discover dead rat in snack

February 03 2006

Moscow - Three Moscow men are demanding nearly £1-million (about R10,8-million) in compensation after they discovered a dead rat in a pack of spicy croutons.

The men bought the pack of croutons, which is a popular Russian beer snack, in a shop in Moscow, reports the Moscovsky Komsomolets daily.

When they opened the packet, they found the croutons had a revolting smell and taste.

After inspecting the packet more closely, they were mortified to find a dead rat among the pieces of dried bread.

The rat had been heat processed together with the croutons, a Moscow Sanitary Expertise Centre said after examining the evidence.

It had been seasoned with exactly the same spices as the croutons, and had a number of croutons stuck to its legs and abdomen.

The three men have now decided to sue the company that produced the snack. - Ananova.com

?!

They actually tasted them?!

^what he said!

"Gosh! This smells revolting! . . . Let's see how it tastes!"

well they couldn't say for 100 percent certainty that they were revolting, as they only smelled revolting, hence the taste test. turns out, yup 100 % revolting!

Ok That was funny ,but it's funny if the cheese smells bad we still try it cause we just do ie: blue cheese smelt bad but still tasted it blah and it tasted like it smelled

Ewww . . .

That is just disgusting. I won't eat anything that smells weird

not very nice find...
Once I found an ant inside of a chupa-chups...

Lots of rats have been getting into food lately. I wonder if health standards have changed?

Rats are eaten in many parts of the world.

Still... I'd be royally ticked if it was me that ate that snack.

Someones gonna get sued

Thats just disgusting...I would be angry too...

they cold chare extra for the seasoned rat:)

Ahhh another story about someone suing because they "found" something in their food. I'm sure I read another one a few months ago about Russians finding a rat in a packet of crisps... Sorry, but I'm quite cynical about this recent trend; it's happening too often lately to be pure coincidence

yummy. o.o
