A South Bend, Indiana family is a little ticked off after finding a cigarette lighter in their child's Burger King kid's meal, says WSJV.
The family checked the bag before giving it to their child and are thankful that they did. Now they'd just like to remind other parents to make sure your child's meal doesn't contain anything flammable before you toss it into the back seat...
Angela Vanderhuyden says, "I'm really disappointed. I want people to be a little more aware and a little more cautious. It's something that most parents just say, 'ya, know here guys', and hand the bag to the back seat because it's supposed to be just food, that's it you know. The food and the toy."
Good safety tip, Angela.
]]>Do you really REALLY think for one Moment that Burger King has some sort of plot going on to get lighters into bags.
Do the REALLY REALLY stupid parents think so?
You folks at Consumerist have more than enough good items every day to fulfill your mission. Lame items like this don't help you and, in fact, undercut the good items.
Marco, go to your room until you get a sense of proportion.
]]>It's actually part of Burger King's do-it-yourself Flame Broiling™ Kit.
]]>More importantly, where the hell are all the Indiana Jones toys? Manhattan is still distributing the Iron Man promos...
]]>No harm in this one, and no foul.
]]>And some fags smoke people!
@theblackdog: uh, because that's a pretty standard place to carry a lighter if you smoke?
]]>@theblackdog: Sometimes people smoke cigarrettes. I know, it's a wierd thing to do, but people do it.
]]>@Ash78: I can ALREADY SMELL a lawsuit brewing. It seems to me that the light might have just accidentally fallen in. I mean, I doubt Burger King orders batches of lighters to include in each kids meal. It's a simple mistake, which as ANY good parent should do, they inspected the meal and found the lighter. A simple apology should be suffice (it would be for me) and a little compassion from the management stating how sorry they are, and a promise to inform that it will never happen again.
]]>Yah, we get those lovely commercials here, too. That's where I ripped the line from.
]]>Telling the world to be more aware is not going to end simple, minor accidents such as this.
]]>Bic bad, diabetes not so much?!?
]]>What's more dangerous, the lighter or the food from BK?
]]>Unfortunate, etc etc...
But what the hell does 'ya, know here guys' mean?
]]>Well put.
]]>@cmdrsass: Bunched panties only come with when you super-size.
Okay, FLAME-broiled references in 3....2.....1....
]]>Maybe they should get together with the family that found the crack pipe in the toy truck...
]]>Those idiots launched the July 4th promotion pack two months early. Heads will roll.
