Man's Lawsuit Over Whopper Shocker

A 24-year-old American man is suing a Burger King restaurant - claiming he found a condom in his Whopper.

Van Miguel Hartless alleges he bit into the burger and found the unwrapped contraceptive under a piece of lettuce.

"My third bite into the burger, it was just a foreign taste," he said. "It was a very sour, bitter sort of taste. It almost had a numbing sensation.

"As I went to bite down a little harder, I felt a rubber grind in between my teeth. I saw it half in my mouth, half hanging out.

"It was an immediate sick-to-my-stomach type of thing."

He is seeking unspecified damages from the fast food restaurant in Rutland, Vermont.

In the lawsuit, he says the experience has caused him "pain, suffering, nightmares, distress, and medical expenses".

Mr Hartless was reportedly tested for HIV and the tests came back negative.

A manager at the restaurant declined to comment on the case.

This year, the Burger King Whopper celebrated its 50th anniversary.


Anyone had a similar experience!!!!!

even if it's true, the way some people lay it on thick to get compo is the most revolting aspect of these lawsuits

I've had loads of Johnnies in my burgers. In fact only last week I complained because there was no preservative.

Coincidentally, none of which are disprovable.

Do you suppose that if people had to actually pay themselves upfront, before embarking on these no win no fee cases, the 'compensation culture' would die overnight....? sctatchinghead
