This Two-Inch Metal Spear Does Not Belong In A Dancing Deer All-Natural, Organic Blondie

Update: Dancing Deer apologized.

Helen writes: "I had some friends over for dinner last night, and didn't feel like making dessert from scratch so I bought a package of Dancing Deer brand blondies (they're advertised as organic, all-natural, etc. etc.) to serve instead. So after dinner I opened the package, took out the top three blondie bars, cut them in half to be a bit more normal-sized, and set them out on a plate. Everyone loved theirs, but when I bit into mine — it bit back. I pulled it out of my mouth to find a two-inch-long. quarter-inch cylinder of metal baked right into the damn thing."

Walmart Brand Chicken: Now With Steel Hex Nut?

Well, this is gross: Now included with your bag of Walmart's "Great Value" house brand chicken breasts...a steel hex nut off of a very large bolt. We've heard of getting a prize in a box of cracker jacks, but this is ridiculous. Our tipster assures us:
No word if the nut also comes in BBQ flavor.
The chicken's owner has informed the USDA, but has not heard back. Ew. Just, ew. More photos inside.—MEGHANN MARCO More »
