13. Actually, the original pic I got the hand is clear.
It happened when I blew it up to a bigger size.

4. When someone gives you frog in a spinach bag
make Frog Legs Florentine. That's what I always say.

6. Looks photoshopped to me- particularly on the lower edge of
the frog- the line between the leaf and the frog looks like it's been masked.

22. Not only xenophobic, but INCORRECT, too!!!
...Contrary to the text accompanying the photo in the "Example" box above, Florette is based in Europe, not Mexico......

24. Tastes like chicken!
Really! Frog legs taste just like chicken! Mmmmmm

Maybe there's some snails (escargots) in the bag too! Get some garlic butter on those suckers! Yum! :9

19. Often times vegetable bags are micro-perforated
That actually keeps the veggies fresher. I believe this little guy is really in there. If you look at the other parts of the pic, the persons hand is pixelated. It appears that the compression loss of the picture is making the frog appear photo-shopped, but I think this lucky person actually did find a secret toy surprise in their bag!

28. That's true - if it's a perforated bag
My thought was that it wasn't though, since there is condensation in the bag.

20. What's the big deal? Have you ever eaten in a restaurant?
These little guys living in the lettuce is incredibly common. They usually find them, but their camouflage is pretty good, so sometimes they get through.

I've seen more than a couple heads get thrown away because the prep cook didn't see him until after the chopping started.

25. Ah, the "Whizzo Quality Vegetable Assortment"!


INSPECTOR PRALINE: Next we have number four - “crunchy frog”.

MILTON: Ah, yes.

PRALINE: Am I right in thinking there’s a real frog in here?

MILTON: Yes. A little one.

PRALINE: What sort of frog?

MILTON: A dead frog.

PRALINE: Is it cooked?

MILTON: No.

PRALINE: What, a raw frog?



MILTON: We use only the finest baby frogs, dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose.

PRALINE: That’s as maybe, it’s still a frog.

MILTON: What else?

PRALINE: Well don’t you even take the bones out?

MILTON: If we took the bones out it wouldn’t be crunchy would it?

PRALINE: Superintendent Parrot ate one of those.

PARROT: (G.C) Excuse me a moment. (exits hurriedly)

MILTON: It says “crunchy frog” quite clearly.

PRALINE: Well, the superintendent thought it was an almond whirl. People won’t expect there to be a frog in there. They’re bound to think it’s some form of mock frog.

MILTON: (insulted) Mock frog? We use no artificial preservatives or additives of any kind!

PRALINE: Nevertheless, I must warn you that in future you should delete the words “crunchy frog”, and replace them with the legend “crunchy raw unboned real dead frog”, if you want to avoid prosecution.

MILTON: What about our sales?
