Worst Nightmare Realized of the Day: When a seven-year-old girl in Hanover, Germany, lifted the lid of the toilet in her house, the last thing in the world she expected to find was a seven-foot-long boa constrictor staring back at her. But that’s precisely what she found.

The slithering sewer-dweller eventually made a U-turn down the S-bend, but not before police managed to snap a photo of the literal plumber’s snake.

A wildlife expert, offering a possible explanation, said “[p]eople buy these snakes when they are young and they grow very large very quickly and scare the life out of their owners who try to flush them down the lavatory or release them into the drains.”

This has seriously been one of my worst fears since I was a little girl…I never knew it could really happen.

Taco Bell being sued for selling food comprised of more than 50% non-food components.

Currently in the U.S. for an item to be labelled as “food” and sold as such, half of it must be edible. A class-action lawsuit filed in California on Friday contends that the ground “beef” sold by Taco Bell is not legally food, even in the U.S.

Attorney Dee Miles, spokeswoman for the suit, said attorneys had Taco Bell’s “meat mixture” tested and found it contained less that 35% edible products.

Irvine-based Taco Bell spokesman Rob Poetsch said the company denies that its advertising is misleading.

“Taco Bell prides itself on serving high quality Mexican inspired food with great value. We’re happy that the millions of customers we serve every week agree,” Poetsch said. The company would vigorously defend the suit, he said. “Taco Bell uses only the finest beef-flavored liquid available from laboratories around this great nation of ours. We add only the highest quality lecithin available from third-world factories to give our beef water a solid state. Also, many of the artificial flavorings we use do not cause cancer. Besides, it tastes great and that’s all that really matters. Right, America?”

Michael Taylor, the FDA Food Safety Czar, said that requiring the food industry to use 50% food in its products is “onerous” and bad for business. “We are working to get this requirement lowered to a more reasonable 20%.”

ah, ew

“….available from laboratories around this great nation of ours. We add only the highest quality lecithin available from third-world factories to give our beef water a solid state.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, AMERICA?

This is why you shouldnt eat meat….much less meat that comes from a fucking tube people. Honestly, who thinks that meat that comes frozen in a tube is going to be 100 percent real and safe?

Right, America?

I believe it was in the late 90’s, but I stopped eating Taco Bell when a woman ate a cockroach that was in her Taco Bell Meat. It hatched eggs in her mouth and it was fucking disgusting. So I always associate Taco Bell with cockroaches and while not all Bell’s are the same, it’s still disgusting to think that perhaps, there might have been a cockroach in what you’re eating or that there is. The possibility of it is more frightening. Thank god I stopped easting fast food.

Oh god. Never again.

As far as I learned the 90s cockroach story is an urban myth. (roaches find people’s mouths easily anyways, they love the plaque and such). Taco Bell is actually one of the (on average nationally) most sanitary.

This shit is delicious! I had it a few hours ago, and I’d go back tomorrow if I could, but haters gonna hate.
