I Just Love Salad...Lettuce, Tomato and....a FROG???????

I am glad she let the frog go. Why would they tell her to mail the package of lettuce and frog back to them. She should have taken the lettuce back to the store and got her money back. A long time ago I brought the packages of dough for biscuits I open the packages and took the individual biscuit out and felt something hard in a couple of them I check them and there was small pieces about 1/2 inch in side of glass in them. I took it back to the store and told the manager what I found they returned my money. She check one that I had not taken out of the package and found glass in it also. She said they were going to pull the rest of that brand of biscuit dough on the shelf and return them with the package I took to them. They must have because I did not see that brand in the store later that week. It is hard to imagine what might have happen it we had eaten those biscuits.

I have definitely encountered worms in salads, lettuces and some green chilies, but to find a frog? ...that's new! LOL.......makes me think twice the next time I buy groceries in supermarket. Must make sure I shake the packaging so that any frogs or worms will wake up..

Hi pyewacket, I did get a sealed iceburg lettuce a few weeks back and popped it in the fridge for a few days to use the loose lettuce first knowing the iceburg would keep longer as its a 2 hour round trip to actually get one. So it must have been 2 days later when I pulled the wrapping off to discover a live red worm still inside it whilst I would have expected it to be dead with the fridge temp and lack of air. I threw it over the balcony wall, oh the worm that is not the lettuce. That just got a good washing and was most enjoyable.

Gosh that is so gross. I cant imagine that happening to me. I better go check the lettuce I bought today to make sure there is no frog in it. The supermarket should compensate her, however, I like what she did by freeing the animal

Ok, maybe this is why I barely ever eat vegetables.. lol

That poor little froggy.
I think they should have researched what he was before they set him free.
What if their front yard wasn't the proper frog habitat, then he's just going to die anyway.
And he was soo cute!

Well at less she can be sure the lettuce was fresh lol. Would be more considered if the frog was dead when she found it.

Hi Pyewacjet,

OMG-- what a salad package! I love eating lettuce and salad but never imagine it with a frog. I'll check the link later. Thanks for sharing this "amazing" experience of a shopper to us!

Yes, it's happened several times. I remember as a kid, finding a chicken bone in a can of chicken noodle soup. Luckily, I did not swallow it and my mom had to mail it back to the soup company(don't know which) and they sent us a refund check. Also, recently I found a small rock in some mixed vegetables from a local chinese restaurant. Again, I was very lucky not to have broken a tooth or swallowed it. I returned to the restaurant and gave the manager the rock and he explained they get the vegetables fresh from local farmers and apologized that his kitchen staff did not clean them well enough. He gave me 2 free meals and coupons for future visits. Though I've never found a live creature in any of my food it is quite disturbing to find any foreign object that should not be consumed by humans.

That would be so disgusting. I cannot believe that is all Kroger told her. I am glad she did not open it without a good witness. I am not sure what I would have done.

I cant say as I have ever gotta anything extra like that when buying food. I was cracking up when I heard that she was told to bring the frog back. I thought tat was stupid but whatever. I guess I didnt pay close enough attention because I missed that they told her to MAIL back the lettuce with the frog...IDIOTS!!!
