AIBU to be scared of what I found in my McDonald’s (pic 🤢)

[whatisthisinmyburger]

Had McDonald’s tonight, ordered the McPlant burger as usual and found this inside it! Does anyone have any clue what it could be?

Really hoping there’s a non gross explanation for this, it’s really put me off!

I have to say that veganism just looks like a life full of disappointment

OPs image is neither a bite nor a cross section of the burger. It is an image of whatever that creature is, sitting in the palm of her hand.

You’re simply chatting shite.

Yes. But a poster on the internet has posted a bite of something with something on it that could be anything from congealed sauce caught at an angle to something she chewed and put on there. And sparked a debate on the evils of Macdonalds.

I mean, is no one questioning why she has such a tiny piece of the burger in the photo? When you notice something rancid on food, do you normally cut out a teeny tiny bit and then photograph it?

OP you didn't include a poll but you are very very reasonable to be scared of that thing

It’s something that has sprouted.
Like a bean shoot. Not pleasant to look at but nout terrifying.

@LydiaBennetsUglyBonnet I'm not vegan but I think McDonalds is a life of disappointment. I went a few weeks back. It was a bit like eating cardboard and I was hungry again an hour later. I quite enjoyed the strawberry milkshake but it was too big but I still drank all of it. I felt sick afterwards but I don't think I can blame them for my greediness. 😆 I won't be going again.

Probably a scab that fell off the server's face.

I honestly think we are seeing 2 different pictures.

OP - if you have Twitter just tweet them a photo and they'll get back to you super quick!

Think you are seeing it as a whole thing - a bean that's sprouting or an insect. I'm seeing it as a cut of the patty with something on it. The brown bit looks like a bit of the patty to me, like someone cut the patty, put it on their hand with some sauce, onions attached to it.

Would have been clearer if we could see photo of the burger with this thing in it. Alas we'll never know. And Macdonalds has certainly lost some custom via this thread. You can see now how easy it is to campaign against something with very little information and evidence.

Can someone tweet this pic to McD’s and ask them to identify it? It looks like a sprouted something but doesn’t seem to bear any relation to the ingredients. It’s given me the ick.

The other way up it looks like a piece of broccoli gone wrong

@wizzywascal OP said she found this UNDER the bun. As it is. Not in it.

''This was lurking beneath the bun, not inside the actual patty itself.''

Well that’s my monthly treat of fish and chips ruined. 😭

All I am seeing is someone trying to suggest this is a campaign, whilst having little information and evidence. Oh, and also completely ignoring both what OP said, and the actual picture.

Did you eat the burger OP?

To me to it looks like something that's sprouted, so probably nothing too harmful (I wouldn't eat it, but I wouldn't burn the house down to get rid of it either... I'd be somewhere in the middle of those two).

I think it's probably fallen in by mistake when they were packing your food.

I think it's a bit of sprouting potato

Oh fuck no

Plant based is actually healthier and better if you eat plants. No one has to eat processed goop:)

Or anything described as "plant-based" that's clearly a lump of processed shite.

Looks like a bean of some kind sprouting...

Their coffee is actually very good. Cheap & wins awards. The 'Food' is vile.

Why?

I was a meat eater for almost 40 years until I went vegetarian, then vegan. My diet is far less bland, more colourful, much tastier and far more nutritious than it was when ate meat/animal products.

The issue here is with McDonald's food, not vegansim.
