Man disgusted to find bug deep-fried in package of chips

Crispy creepy crawly



By JENNIFER STEWART / Staff Reporter

Keith MacDonald came close to acting out an episode of Fear Factor on Tuesday when he apparently discovered a large deep-fried bug in the bag of Humpty Dumpty potato chips he was munching on for lunch.

"It was pretty disgusting," the Lower Sackville man said.

He said the insect, which was about three to four centimetres long with wings and eyes, was hidden among his barbecue-flavoured snacks. He said he'd eaten a couple of handfuls of chips before he saw something black in the bag.

"I thought it was a burnt chip," Mr. MacDonald said Wednesday. "But upon closer inspection, I found out it was a bug."

The crispy critter was obviously dead, he added.

"It was all kind of stuck together. One of the wings broke off and that's in the bag of chips as well."

4. I once worked with a guy who...

... used to work at the Detroit-area plant of one of the, ahem, major chip producers, who said the favorite lunch-break sport was chasing down the rats in the grain bins, then trying to "skip" them on the surface of the fat-fry troughs like stones on a pond.

It's always a good idea to try to skip overly-processed food, these days. :)

8. What's his problem?

It was the most nutritious thing in that bag. I feel sorry for the bug. What a way to go.
