Woman claims McDonald's drink contained chemical

BALTIMORE (AP) -- A Baltimore woman said when she ordered an iced tea at a local McDonald's restaurant last year, employees gave her a cup containing a cleaning chemical.

Maybe she talked dirty to the casher..

I doubt it was a cleaning chemical...

...he probably just pissed in it.

well, they discontinued the McDLpee, so they had to give her something comparable.

I think that a cleaning chemical would have eaten a hole in the cup. Easy way to make a buck though.

Uh, aren't most drinks made with chemicals? I mean really, have you read the ingredients lately?

[Chill out again]

"So you didn't order the McLysol?..."

excellent point....always the voice of logic!

'This ice tea tastes funny."

"Gimme that! I was using it to clean the urinal."

I think this was just an innocent misinterpretation by the counter clerk.
She must have misheard the customer say "My hair has a flea" instead of "I would like some ice tea". Subsquently, trying to be helpful the clerk gave her some flea repellent. see? all blown out of proportion.

Probably the same person that got burned on the hot coffee and since that money is spent it is time to drum up another lawsuit...

What next?

Urinal cakes instead of hamburger patties? Or is that what they are made of already?

Urinal cakes? Aren't they a 'Little Debbie' product?

Im still worried about the peanut butter someone took a dump in. Its getting real shitty out there. It don't surprise me a bit, these punk ass kids will do anything for a laugh even shoot someone in the face, she lucky.

If not, maybe they should be, since urinal cakes are probably a far cry more nutritious than that yucky glop they slap between bun halves.

Knock off the junk food kids.

Only chemicals....I thought she was going to say she spilled it in her lap and is suing because it was cold.

Thesse things always happen in McDonalds.

Last year in New Zealand a dude went to take out his Gherkin slice (don't know what you Americans call gherkin, the green thing, cause we don't like them) and his meat paddy was crawling with maggots.

But I've never heard complaints against any other US franchises.

He had to remove the gherkin to see the maggots? That must be one big slice of gherkin.

read properly,,

He removed the gherkin cause we don't like them.

They're put in everything from burgers to filled rolls and sanwiches as if they are popular

They're not.

Our good taste saved him much trauma.

Pickles are the same as a gherkin, I think. The only thing that rings of truth is that the doctor found damage to her mouth. I have had drinks with chemicals in them too from fountain machines, but I have never been injured. I just wonder why she didn't sue sooner. Someone from the store must have told her where the chemical came from for her to be so specific in what the chemical was used for there.

All their drinks have chemicals in them.Along with the garbage they serve disguised as food.
