“Finger in Chili” Lady Arrested
It is without surprise that I report that the lady who claimed to have found a human fingertip in her Wendy’s Chili has been arrested. Is “being completely and utterly full of sh**” a crime? If so, that’s likely the charge.
This comes as no surprise, because it has been established that the lady who “found” the finger is a habitual litigant, and the finger was uncooked… but none of the Wendy’s staff was missing a finger.
So far, Wendy’s restaurants in Northern California have lost 20 percent to 50 percent of their business. With every passing day that the mystery of the finger goes unsolved, Mr. Lynch and Wendy’s executives face eroding confidence in their business. “We need closure,” Mr. Lynch said. “Until then, there is lingering doubt.”

If she made this up, Wendy’s should sue her for every penny of her worth. I can’t find a dollar figure, but based on sales estimates, I’d wager that this lady has cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars, at least.
Update: Try $2.5 million in damages to Wendy’s.
