Custard is the New Finger Food
Apparently public disuptes about human fingers in commercial food is becoming a monthly occurance. May's fingertip surfaced in Raleigh, North Carolina where Clarence Stowers was served the finger in his chocolate custard minutes after it was chopped from the unlucky hand of 23 year old Brandon Fizer. The case is wildly interesting for a few reasons...
1. Somehow Mr. Fizer witnessed his finger getting clipped into the chocolate custard, yet it was served to Mr. Stowers minutes later.
2. When the owner of Kohl's Frozen Custard tried to retrieve the finger from Mr. Stowers shortly after it was served to him he refused, exiting defiantly with promises to call local TV stations and a lawyer (he did).
3. Mr Stowers was sharply criticized for choosing to hoard his evidence instead of returning the fingertip so doctors could attempt to reattach it to Mr. Fizer's hand. But as his lawyer Lee Andrews explained to CNN, "his client was concerned about possible disease in the fingertip and kept it because he wanted someone to test it for 'all the diseases that are out here now.' "
There are some tough choices in life, but consider this one: If you suspected disease in the severed finger you were holding, would you take it home to your freezer, or give it to the kid with blood pouring out of the other 2/3 of the finger??
