Fingered by Folklore

WHEN THE finger-in-the-chili story broke, it seemed like the entire world was set to hurl. But there was one group that failed to experience sudden nausea, dizziness or other symptoms associated with sick-ass news of alleged food contamination: followers of American folklore and urban legend. These folks were skeptical to say the least, and many called bullshit immediately on the digital display that supposedly went down in Wendy's.

The reason: they've seen this story, or one like it, before, and 99.9 percent of the time, it's not true.


Sample: McDonald's is not the world's largest purchaser of cow eyeballs, nor do their hamburgers contain worm meat.

Really?
