OK.. this might be a long post but it's a story that must be told. This is not one of those stupid chain emails warning everyone to be careful because of some urban myth... this really happened to me.
A few weeks ago my GF and I were looking for a place to go have dinner so we decided to splurge with some junk food at Loco Lou's (on 16th Ave). I had a burger and was already finished except for some fries on my plate. My GF decided I needed a refill on my ketchup so she poured more Heinz on my plate. We were already at about 1/2 the bottle while she was pouring out when something white plopped out with the ketchup. I was like WTF is that!?!? I looked at it closer and was thinking someone put one of those finger condoms in the ketchup or maybe a piece of rubber from a balloon. We moved it around with a french fry and found out it was a capsule. The contents had already seaped out into the ketchup! We moved it around and found the name of the drug... "EFFEXOR RX". We immediately called for the manager and she took care of our bill and we told her we would get back to her if I was feeling sick or something. On my way home I called my friend to look it up on the net. EFFEXOR RX is an anti-depressant! Needless to say I was feeling quite uplifted that night.
Moral of the story.... just be careful when you are eating at a restaurant. There are a lot of people out there with a sick sense of humour and I was lucky that it was not something dangerous to my health. Always ask for a new ketchup bottle or even ketchup packs.
