Have you shopped at Costco recently? Did you buy the frozen, organic mixed veggies (the one with the peas, carrots, and green beans)? Too bad, because a customer recently found a dead rat in their bag. Not a severed head, as in the shrimp chip fiasco. A full-on rat. Costco has been calling all their customers to warn them, but you may have missed the call. You can return the product for a refund.

Bon appetit!

I'm on my way up to the Daegu branch today as it goes although, why anyone would want to buy frozen veg over here is beyond me given how much fresh produce is available.

Thanks for the heads-up all the same.

Hey, you buy food grown without the use of pesticides, you gotta expect a pest or two to end up in the package.

Not as bad as the dead hooker that's going to be discovered in the meat section at Homever tomorrow morning. You heard it here first.

I'm safe. Veggies can suck my balls.

Vegetables are fine, but I avoid organic food, so I'm safe.

Thank you, Krispy Kreme. You've never let me down. Wink

Sounds like animal-testing gone wrong^^.

They will now have to remove the writing from the side of the packages,
"No animals were hurt in the production of this product."
