Campbell Soup Co. offered to cover the cost of the soup -- plus a little extra. They also wanted her to mail in the tooth.

Keeney went to a lawyer instead.

The woman that took the call and offered to cover the cost of the soup needs to be fired, straight up. She just cost that company bookoo bucks with her penny pinching. Mcdonalds suffered through this a few years ago when the manager refused to pay for the elderly lady's doctor bill from spilling hot coffee and burning herself. You'd thought corporations would have learned by now.

How the hell can she prove the tooth is from the can of soup? (unless it's proven that one of the workers at campbells is missing a tooth.

The response to the call should have been, "Fuck you lady. Eat your god damned soup and keep grandpa away from the table. His teeth are falling out."

She had some lab test the tooth, it came from a 13 year old, they then tested her kids, it came from none of them. All they have to do is find the 13 year old working in the campbells sweat shop and she is pizaid.

They aren't going to find the kid. It probably fell out of the pocket of a worker who did the tooth fairy switcharoo that morning.

The problem I have is that is seems impossible to prove. If I was Campbells I'd call bullshit. All we need it a rash of people claiming foreign objects in their food to slow down our fine judicial system!

They have regulations and guidelines in place to prevent food from becoming overly contaminated. That's about all they can do.
IMHO if you eat food processed or made by other people you run the risk of getting a foreign object in it.
Not that I wouldnt want a couple grand if I found a tooth in my soup.

She acts as if the world is going to end because she found a tooth in a can of soup. Big. Fucking. Deal.

If someone had been hurt, I could give her some credit. But all she wants is $$$$. As soon as she saw that tooth, I bet she was thinking she just won the lotto.

I was listening to Glenn Beck today, he said she did not find a tooth, she found a lottery ticket.

Musta been 10 or so years ago that a lady said she found a syringe in a Pepsi can. She, of course, instantly files suit and Pepsi launches and investigation...they slow down production and audit all their equipment and procedures. This was not the first time that strange objects had been found in pepsi cans, the FDA even release an annoucement about it. THEN.....

By Thursday, June 17th, Pepsi executives had the video of a Colorado woman, Gail Levine. A supermarket surveillance camera caught her putting objects into a Diet Pepsi can. Pepsi pressured the FDA to issue a statement calling the incidents a series of hoaxes.

People rarely, if ever, come in contact with the actual product that is manufactured and/or processed in a large scale canning and production factory...this story is bullshit. Then again, maybe I am just jaded.

What is 'bookoo'?

kyoukan · Post by **kyoukan** » September 21, 2003, 6:40 pm

It's slang for "a lot" taken from the french word "beaucoup" which means "many," and is pronounced similarly.

I think it came from vietnam war because the vietnamese language uses a lot of french and the montagnard that assisted the us army would say things like "beaucoup VC in the jungle," so the americans started saying bookoo.

if something like this would happen here where i live , in Iceland, the judges would most likely have the company pay the woman maybe about 500 $, at most. and that's IF it wouldn't be thrown out straight away.
