I once found a full on dragonfly in a pack of washed and ready to eat Morrisons baby leaf salad. Environmental health took it away, did an investigation and said it was just one of those things.

Not a patch on this though.

OMG.... the tail Shock

"It's sliced! Bleeeeeugh!"

Wonder how many more loaves were then sliced?

sux2bme · 28/09/2010 13:47

Don't just say brown mouse, say hovis...

tesco, every little counts

I fear I am being doubted Grin (don't blame you). I swear though I twisted the lid and the earwig dropped down off the inside of the lid and into the sauce.

Tippychoocks · 28/09/2010 13:51

Grin So it was clinging upside down and alive for thirty-five years (or whatever Dolmio's shelf life is)? Okaaaaaay, if you say so Wink
There's no alcohol at Guide camp is there?

I can't help feeling a little bit sorry for the mouse. It's not a very nice way to go.

I once found a huge human fingernail baked in a digestive biscuit. I sent it back to McVitie's and they sent me a ten pound voucher... Maybe I should've sent it to the Daily Mail instead, then I could've been famous.

EmEyeHi · 28/09/2010 14:00

Eughhh Emmalina - that's almost worse than the mouse Envy . Jaffa Cakes from hereonin then Grin

Makes you think how much trust we put in people who prepare our food. I bit into slug that was in box of sliced mushrooms. Slug tastes very bitter. Shock

Aethelflaed · 28/09/2010 16:01

I am too scared to click the link, but need to know what make of bread and which shop! What is it?

Mumcentreplus · 28/09/2010 16:18

This is an old urban legend come true...you know like the '5 kinds of spunk in a korma' urban legend..

LittleMissHissyFit · 28/09/2010 16:39

Ew, I saw this link on BBC last night, made mistake of opening it... VOM - felt RIGHT queasy I did!

Once had a FLY in a tin of tuna.... sent it back, got a £5 cheque.... Grin

took a while before I could buy that brand of canned fish again....

OrmRenewed · 28/09/2010 16:40

Poor mouse Sad

Or am I missing the point?

FindingMyMojo · 28/09/2010 16:43

YABVU of course

LittleMissHissyFit · 28/09/2010 16:45

Ah, don't be mean to the factory.. wasn't their fault, it was the Gruffalo ....

"My favourite food!" the Gruffalo said.
"You'll taste good in a loaf of bread!"

"Good?" said the mouse. "Don't call me good!
I'm the scariest creature in this wood.
Just walk behind me and soon you'll see,
Everyone is afraid of me."

"Oh sure!," said the Gruffalo, scratching his chin
"You look tired, hop up in this tin."

boobmanagement · 28/09/2010 16:53

I once found a pube in a packet of M&S crisps from their restaurant. And no, I didn't just give myself a good scratching before hand!

EmEyeHi · 28/09/2010 16:56

Brilliant LMSF GrinGrinGrin-will never ever be able to read DC The Gruffalo again without the vision of the brouse (bread mouse naturellement).

Husky - slug, double yuk. Squashed one once by putting my bare foot into a walking boot - that soft, squelchy and slithery sensation between my toes. Extrapolate to mouth - yuk, yuk, yuk.

Grin supposed to be working....

Apologies to Julia Donaldson.... Blush

Tippychoocks · 28/09/2010 19:13

It was Tesco shite white sliced I think Athel.
Poor mouse indeed. Baked to a turn.

muchostinky · 28/09/2010 20:13

it was Hovis Best of Both - I read!

tethersend · 28/09/2010 20:22

My dad never allowed us to buy Hovis when we were kids; I later found out it was because he used to work in a Hovis factory and watched his colleagues piss into the dough.

Aethelflaed · 28/09/2010 20:38

We really need a [vomit] and [vomits copiously] emoticons, we really do, much more use than a biscuit.

diddl · 28/09/2010 20:48

That is disgusting tethersend

I hope something was done about it.

Why would people do that?
