News.au report:
A HUMAN tooth was found in french fries sold at a McDonald’s in Japan last year, the firm said Wednesday, the latest in a series of woes involving contaminated nuggets and a chip shortage.A customer complained to the Japanese arm of the fast food giant after finding a foreign body in a serving of potatoes from an outlet in Osaka, two senior vice presidents told a press conference in Tokyo.
An independent investigation ordered by McDonald’s determined that the object was a tooth but concluded that it had not been cooked, said McDonald’s Japan senior vice president Hidehito Hishinuma.
Now I am thinking, how would a great dancer like Padma Subrahmanyam depict this with nava rasa bhava sancharis?
- Adbhuta: This is the obvious. Imagine finding a tooth with your fries. It makes you sit back, open your eyes wide, and say, "what miracle is this, a real tooth in a real favourite of mine!"
- Hasya: You're on your way home from the dentist, with your extracted tooth nicely wrapped up in a napkin resting in your breast pocket, and you find it in your bag of fries!!!! Surely that deserves a toothless smile. It's the tooth's way of saying good bye with due decorum.
- Sringara: this is a bit of a stretch, but Padma will pull it off. She will show a daughter-in-law gloating over the tooth of her erstwhile tormentor, her M-I-L, duly sent away to the next world, now cringing forgiveness after making an appearance in her bag of chips. "Teaches the M-I-L right, now I can have all the good times with my man!"
- Shanta: I am The Yogi @ McDonald’s. I stare at everything, a bag of chips, the Big Mac, a human tooth, all with the same equanimity.
- Karuna: I call the store manager, calmly point at that tooth, and see his horror at the discovery and the pathos in his eyes as he sees his plum job saying good-bye to him, and I say, "don't, worry, I won't tell." Maximum compassion.
- Bheebhatsa: a child finds the tooth. He says, my God, that school bully has planted this to spoil my meal...now the whole bag of chips has to be trashed....
- Raudra: Strict Vegetarian, vadhyar types, goes into a paroxysm of anger at finding the tooth, and that means the only thing he might reasonably eat in goddamned McDonald’s is now shown to be pure Non-veg.
- Bhaya: The girl at the counter, and this is her first day in the McDonald’s, sees the tooth coming back on a tray carried by the livid customer, demanding an explanation. Job Chuss?
- Veera: Headline: "Famous palaeontologist discovers the missing link in a bag of fries!"
