Man found a lizard in his McDonald's cola, and this is more common than you think

Imagine paying for your favourite food and you get it with toppings like a dead lizard or a cockroach. Yes, even the thought of this is disturbing. But many people have experienced this at some of the biggest, well-known food chains.

Recently, a man from Ahmedabad, Gujarat, found a dead lizard in his soft drink at McDonald’s. After complaining about it to the manager, McDonald’s offered to return the bill amount. The man also claimed that the manager laughed at the complaint and said that he would look into the matter.

Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation immediately took the sample of the soft drink for testing at the Public Health Laboratory.

Well, this is not the first time when people found unexpected and unwanted things in their food orders. Here are some similar incidents.

1. Cockroach in sambar

In Tamil Nadu's Tirupur, a customer reported that they found a cockroach in the sambar served to them. Later, the food safety department took a sample from the outlet and sent it for testing.

2. Insect in biryani

In an incident from 2017, a man said that he found a live insect in his biryani. Ulavacharu Hotel in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, did not apologise for the insect, and this forced the customer to file a complaint against them.

3. Another one at McDonald’s

In July 2014, Sandeep Saxena visited McDonald’s in GIP Mall, Noida, Uttar Pradesh. He found an insect in his McAloo Tikki Burger. He fell ill after taking a bite of the burger. He later reported this to the Food Safety Department. Later, the food chain had to pay a sum of Rs 70,000 as compensation.
