A few days ago I purchased a pack of a well-known brand of chewing gum at a local grocery store. When I chewed the 5th stick from the pack, I felt something poke the inside of my mouth. I removed the gum from my mouth and discovered what appeared to be a fingernail clipping sticking out of the gum. Upon further examination, I found another one and then several with specks all through the gum. I then examined the remaining sticks that were left in the pack and found that another stick appeared to be partially opened.
I placed the fingernails and the chewed gum in a plastic sandwich bag and took that plus the remainder of the pack back to the store. They immediately refunded my purchase price and recommended that I contact the manufacturer, which I did immediately. The manufacturer responded to me right away with many apologies. But they asked that I return the product to them so that they can examine it. I don't feel comfortable doing that. Am I wrong? I'm still feeling yucky about chewing on someone else's fingernails.
