Another incident of strange findings in food. 49-year old Kent Weisenberg was just trying to have a little party snack at his housewarming party, but when he threw some Planters dry-roasted peanuts in his mouth he discovered an extra surprise, the pelvis of a rat. The crunch broke his tooth (as well as his appetite). He did some root damage and cracked his tooth in half, costing him $15,000 in dental bills.

Weisenberg is now suing Kraft (maker of Planters peanuts) for damages. He’s already done some homework, retaining a forensic lab to test the bone and determine that no bone was present at the time that the nuts were dry-roasted. Yet, the bone was coated in the same material as the nuts. Kraft responded by denying any wrongdoing.

When asked if he would think about eat peanuts again any time soon, Weisenberg said no way, “it gives you the willies.”

Look at the size of that bone. How did he not feel the thing in his hand or at least when he put the nuts in his mouth?
