Unknown Substance Found in Burger King Mac N' Cheese

A Long Island man who purchased a Burger King Mac N' Cheese meal for his 6-year-old daughter yesterday says there was "something disgusting in there." (Besides the macaroni and the cheese.) Phil Collura of Rockville Centre tells CBS 2 that after buying the food product for his child at the drive-through, she told him it "tasted funny." And at the bottom of the mac n' cheese cup was what looked like a crushed pill! The girl was taken to a hospital for observation, and Nassau County police say the forensic evidence bureau is analyzing the substance. A police source tells Newsday, "It is unknown at this time if the child ingested any part of the substance." Coming as this does on the heels of the Domino's employees' gross-out video, it's unsurprising the King went into crisis management mode quickly, issuing this statement last night: "Burger King Corp. and its franchisee is aware of this situation and is investigating the matter. As a precaution, the restaurant has removed the product," which is produced by Kraft.

Plan C, Anyone?

Ah, New Year's Day. The perfect time to sit down and make some changes in your life. Like maybe a change towards being a little less, you know, promiscuous. Or at least stocking up on Plan B when you know what kind of decisions you'll make after all that champagne. The above sign was spotted at a local Duane Reade sometime after the clock struck midnight and before the hangover started to subside.
