A nice extra at Arctic Circle
So Mrs. Funk and I went to the temple tonight and Mrs. Funk always used to go get ice cream when they did baptisms for the dead, so she associates getting ice cream with going to the temple.
So we went to the Lehi Arctic Circle and got a raspberry cheesecake shake. Well first it was more like pink soft serve. Didn't have much raspberry or cheesecake bits. Of course this was the least of our problems when we found in the middle a dead beetle. Is this what Artie means about the good stuff? |

in undergrad, my friend and I had coupons for some pizza deal at Godfather pizza in Orem. we drove over and ordered our pizza.
We were sitting down to eat and both grabbed a slice. A few bites into it, my friend got a weird look on his face...he had bitten into some sort of thick stringy object. He pulled it out of his mouth. it was somewhat thick. We looked under the other pizza slices and there it was.....a single strand of a mop. Don't know how or why, but it was baked into the bottom of the pizza. We received a full refund. I have never eaten at a Godfather's Pizza since. PS This same friend had terrible luck. when we ate at the subway across from the law school on 9th East, he found a big clump of hair in his cup. Disgusting.

Years and years ago (late 60's to be exact) my grandfather owned Arctic Circle. In fact that's where my parents met.
He has since sold it, and it has gone to pot. Don't forget to include the key words "emotional distress" in your lawsuit. |

When my wife was about ten years old she and her friends found a gum wrapper in a moon pie. She wrote a letter to the company (Nabisco?) just for fun and a few weeks later there was a knock at the door at their home in a small town in a remote part of Southern Utah. There stood a senior executive for the company with several cases of goodies and a personal apology. She was a bit of a celebrity in town for that.

Hey MP. I'm sorry to hear about the bug in your milkshake. I'm also sorry to see Triple Father and Lebowski trying to one up the hell out of your awesome story. Those guys make me sick.

On a brighter note, I suppose...
I will probably never want to get ice cream after going to the temple now.

Sorry, but my story will win.
My mother in law was dishing her and my father in law some Dreyer's Ice Cream one night a couple of years back, and happened to uncover....a condom. In the middle of the ice cream. Which wouldn't have been a problem, except they had already previously eaten some of the ice cream out of the container. They contacted Dreyer's, who of course, said my 65 year old MIL had planted the condom. So my in-laws hired an attorney, who had the condom tested. Luckily there were no bodily fluids that could be detected, but just in case, both of my in-laws were tested for HIV, Hepatits B, etc. It was a nightmare. In the end, Dreyer's settled, but my MIL wouldn't ever tell my wife the settlement amount. Hopefully it wasn't a lifetime supply of ice cream. |
