Flash in the Pan

• Step Away From That Burger Three kids get arrested in a school food fight. Guess the fare was a bit more stale - and hardened - than usual. (San Francisco Examiner, et. al.)


• Ah, the Bouquet A Florida McDonald's had to be evacuated after toxic fumes affected the workers. Given the usual fare, I'm surprised anyone noticed. (WFTV)


• Officer Sues a McDonald's A policeman was legally displeased to find "a mucousy substance" in his sandwich, and he's charging that two teens working at the place were responsible. Apparently this is close to the last step after arguing with the establishment, which had fired the employees. Of course they did - phlegm costs extra adn you can't just give it away.(Sun Sentinal)


• Two Hurt in Japan from KFC Salad Two patrons at two different Japanese KFCs were hurt from small pieces of glass found in salads. How many times do we have to say it: The salad goes into the bowl, not the bowl into the salad. (Reuters)


• Don't Order the Steak Israeli diplomats tired of having to take guests in other countries at kosher restuarants have just been told that they'll have to continue with the practice. And they'd better clean their plates, too. (Reuters)


• This Ain't Peanuts A Pakastani zoo is looking for financial help. It's one elephant gets angry when meals are late and beats the zoo keeper with a stick. And you should see what it does when the fish comes with red wine. (Reuters)


• Was the Food a Little Dry? A patron at a Wendy's in Florida shot the manager, who refused to give him more chili sauce. Hey, rules are rules. (Miami Herald)
