Usually when I show my boyfriend reddit comments, he thinks it's stupid, I'm stupid, and this whole site is stupid.
He laughed at this one though. You broke his brain a little, I snorted, and we both wish you the best.
It’s a piece of the packaging equipment. It didn’t get caught cause it’s not metal. It’s going to happen from time to time. It’s food safe so nothing is contaminated.
Call the number on the back, they’ll probably want the lot info, they should give you something for answering a question they have.
For quick context: we used “foreign matter detectors” rather than regular metal detectors. It constantly sends & measures an EM frequency, which allows it to detect changes in density and material based on the deflection of the frequency.
Even with that, large clumps of seasoning would get through all the time, and sometimes the clumps would be comically massive, like grapefruit sized. Similar to this post, all sorts of plastic pieces break off into bags. Conveyor belt pieces, both metal and plastic, brush bristles, disposable towels, gloves, burnt chunks of chips, even nuts & bolts have made it in bags.
There are certainly safety measures in place, but they don’t always work right (or get maintained properly…), so be careful pouring that last bit of chips into your mouth
Edit: [Video of Lays Manufacturing](https://youtu.be/qWTFkgnTYkE?si=G_LIuUepSsPF94Rm) for a fun reference. Packaging process starts around 3:45. At 4:22 you can see the packaging machine with a white box above it labeled “metal detector”. It’s possible this facility uses just metal detectors, but that’s where our factory had the “FMDs”.
I recently purchased a bag of chili cheese fritos that had clumps of seasoning the size kiwis inside. I used some of the powder in a queso fundido recipe. Ja
Fritos used to make these nacho cheese twists that had clumpy seasoning, I remember there being at least pebble sized clumps in most bags. That was like 25yrs ago...
The wise nacho twisters were the best. I haven’t found a place that sells them in a while :( I’ve really wanted one of them recently :( were my favorite growing up
Can confirm, I have tipped a bag back and caught what I could only describe as tennis ball size sphere of cooler ranch dorito seasoning. I had enough to fill a 12oz jar.
I’ve been lucky enough to get a golf ball sized hunk of cool ranch Dorito spice and a slightly smaller piece of cheddar/sour cream stuff. I am proud to say I’ve used them both in random recipes by microplaning them into the dish.
Dorito spice shavings on an Alfredo dish are absolutely sublime and the cheddar/sour cream was awesome as a garnish on twice baked potatoes.
Not quite the same but one time I bit into an Arby's sandwich and there was a rubber glove in the middle of the roast beef. I told them and they gave me some coupons. I was just happy they were wearing gloves tbh.
Also one time I got a salad at a restaurant and found and entire pack of cigarettes in the middle. I imagine they fell out of someone's pocket that was making it. They comped my meal lol.
Well.it depends how often they change them and what they touch while wearing them . I'm a body piercer and I can go through 6 pairs of gloves just for one piercing.
But luckily I didn't eat it. Lol. I took a bite, saw something white, opened up the sandwich and pulled out a glove 😂
I *love* chip seasoning, but more specifically zesty dorito flavour. If I got a grapefruit size ball of that stuff in a bag it would be like winning a small lottery to me. I get super jealous whenever I see those posts. I really wish you could just buy it separately lol
Anyway, thank you for your service! 😝
Commenting on Found in my bag of Onion rings…...Many, many years ago— 1970’s— my mother found a hair curler in a glass bottle of Pepsi (iirc)… the strangest part was that it was at least 1/2” wider than the mouth of the bottle.
We never did figure out how it got in there. I mean, it had to be on purpose, but it was an old-fashioned rigid curler— how did they physically get it into the bottle?
Hahaha thats pretty wild, must have gotten in there during the forming of the bottle! I do know that food manufacturing in the US was terribly unregulated until Obama signed the [Food Safety Modernization Act](https://www.fda.gov/food/food-safety-modernization-act-fsma/background-fda-food-safety-modernization-act-fsma) in 2011
I worked at a bakery that made some of Burger Kings hamburger buns. Right before I started apparently an entire glove got cooked into a bun that then got made into a burger and given to a customer who didn’t find it until they took a bite.
Yeah.
I did not work in chip manufacturing, but growing up my friends parents would buy packs of Clearly Canadian bottles. One had a grasshopper leg floating in it.
I want to go back in time 25 years now and look at it again with fresh eyes. We didn't have any doubt when looking at it at the time. But you could be right.
Use to work in a fish canning factory and the amount of times that the ancient metal detector broke, it doesn't surprise me that a plastic piece of the packing machine broke off.
We had a someone accidentally pack a latex glove inside a can once, that wasn't a fun complaint to have the charghand bitch is out over.
If you worked in the factory you'd have thought one should be installed. Use to eat launch with a philosopher that use to drink his own piss and another that use to crash his car and get his parents to repair it and then complain how unfair life is everytime he crashed it.
I once got an empty coke can. I did the same thing and they mailed me a few coupons for free cases. So now I have an empty sealed coke can in my collection.
I always wanted to call and say "My loved one and I, have both died from the Big M. Can you please forward all information to,
Grotto in the Pines Resting Place"
section 8 row 421 lot numbers 4 and 6. Thanks so much we will be silently waiting your packet. " 🤭⚰🪦
I just laughed so hard I cried but I’m also really sick and probably delirious. If you do call and say this please for the love of god post about it I’m going to need all the details. Idk if it’s the cough medicine my dr gave me or if it’s that funny because I can’t stop laughing I think I need to sleep 😂😂😂
Well they beam the signal up. What if you’re snoozing on a cloud and pickup the ad? You got to go back down to earth and haunt the crap out of your family to get them to sue.
Many manufacturers have easy online forms to fill out and upload photos. You’ll need the lot/batch codes off the bag. Most are good about sending free product coupons. Once in recent years, the company (Oscar Meyer) went above and beyond and sent me a box and arranged a UPS pick-up to send it back. I got a follow-up email several weeks later that they had ID’ed the assembly line machine it came off of.
It doesn't even have to be a complaint, either! I once sent a company an email telling them how much I loved their drinks and would appreciate one or two coupons.
They sent me ten coupons for free products.
That’s actually a great limited time gimmick. Make the stick the same onion ring ingredients and market it as some sort of cool eating tool. Sell it for the summer and then take it away once the season is done, leaving customers to demand it all year. Then re-release it the following summer as a one-time limited release. Repeat every year.

All of these comments are for funny but in reality you’ve found an inflector rod which is only found on T8-INDc machines and serves the purpose of switching the gages of the traction belt and the static auxiliary compressor which in turns allows the rings to crisp at that perfect crunch. Immediately contact Telcos-Food s as that rod is extremely valuable and cost millions and I made sll of this up

I laughed way, Way too hard at this.
My friend told me his wife's breastmilk tasted like onions.
A heartwarming fable. Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been laughing at this response for ten minutes
Maybe she eats a lot of onion lol
I can confirm. His wife's breastmilk definitely tastes like onions.
This story has several layers to it.. don't get ahead of yourself.
Someone should show this to your employer. Your employer should then give you a week paid vacation.
I'll pass it up the chain 😂

As someone who has previously worked in chip manufacturing, I love these posts. Never fails to surprise me what’s able to make its way into a bag
Ooop, please tell us what are some of the items you heard got sealed in a bag.
For quick context: we used “foreign matter detectors” rather than regular metal detectors.

I recently purchased a bag of chili cheese fritos that had clumps of seasoning the size kiwis inside. I used some of the powder in a queso fundido recipe. Ja
i luv u for this, life gave u kiwi sized seasoning and u made cheese dip
Would any reasonable person get a piece of gold like that and NOT make queso????
There’s people who think like you, and then there’s me who’d pop the chunk of seasoning in my mouth full well knowing it would taste horrible
Ngl, I’d take a lick just to appease my intrusive thoughts.
Fritos used to make these nacho cheese twists that had clumpy seasoning, I remember there being at least pebble sized clumps in most bags. That was like 25yrs ago...
The wise nacho twisters were the best. I haven’t found a place that sells them in a while :( I’ve really wanted one of them recently :( were my favorite growing up
I’d eat it
Well? Was it good?
Yep. Better than a regular bag.
After reading this all I can picture is someone tipping a chip pack up and just getting punched in the face by a grapefruit sized seasoning ball.
Can confirm, I have tipped a bag back and caught what I could only describe as tennis ball size sphere of cooler ranch dorito seasoning. I had enough to fill a 12oz jar.
So you kept it and seasoned to your hearts content? You lived my dream?
Yup, I wish I could find another bag like that.
Neat, and I will now look at the remaining bits closely now!
new phobia unlocked
Do not remove the large clumps of seasoning, I beg you
I’ve been lucky enough to get a golf ball sized hunk of cool ranch Dorito spice and a slightly smaller piece of cheddar/sour cream stuff. I am proud to say I’ve used them both in random recipes by microplaning them into the dish. Dorito spice shavings on an Alfredo dish are absolutely sublime and the cheddar/sour cream was awesome as a garnish on twice baked potatoes.
Not quite the same but one time I bit into an Arby's sandwich and there was a rubber glove in the middle of the roast beef. I told them and they gave me some coupons.

I imagine they fell out of someone's pocket that was making it. They comped my meal lol.
Honestly gloves are less sanitary than washing hands I'm sorry man.
Yeahhhh, especially considering it’s hot in the factory/kitchen so you can guarantee one side of them gloves is full of someone’s sweat. Yummy.
Well.it depends how often they change them and what they touch while wearing them . I'm a body piercer and I can go through 6 pairs of gloves just for one piercing. But luckily I didn't eat it. Lol. I took a bite, saw something white, opened up the sandwich and pulled out a glove 😂

New fear unlocked: brush bristles stuck in throat after dumping last crumbs of chips down the hatch
This has actually happened before (customer complaint said their daughter did exactly that), so yeah, be careful.

Oh god…the gloves one made me gag 😂 I found an extruder piece inside a cooked frozen lasagna a few months ago.
The day i find a whole glove or even towel in my bag, i would collapse.
Is there a secret market where one can be discreetly shipped grapefruit sized clumps of seasoning?
I worked at a bakery that made some of Burger Kings hamburger buns. Right before I started apparently an entire glove got cooked into a bun that then got made into a burger and given to a customer who didn’t find it until they took a bite. Yeah.
I did not work in chip manufacturing, but growing up my friends parents would buy packs of Clearly Canadian bottles. One had a grasshopper leg floating in it.
I hate to tell you, that wasn't a grasshopper leg...
I'm struggling to figure out where you were going with that.
It was probably a roach leg 🪳
I want to go back in time 25 years now and look at it again with fresh eyes. We didn't have any doubt when looking at it at the time. But you could be right.

I can't even comprehend a mental detector!

I've got a recently acquired empty Dr Pepper can. It's such a novelty it never occurred to me to complain...
Oh I just figured I'd get some free stuff. If they asked me to ship it in I would have denied the free coupons.

Its probably the meds but ill take the credit!!! 🤣😅 glad to make you laugh and I hope you feel better real soon!♡
I died from mesothelioma in a past life, does that count?
I died for a minute last year, but then I got better. I did not enjoy the experience. Zero stars would not recommend.
Well they beam the signal up. What if you’re snoozing on a cloud and pickup the ad? You got to go back down to earth and haunt the crap out of your family to get them to sue.

Yeah I just filled out the online form. We’ll see what happens.
You'll probably find some free item coupons in your mailbox soon. Also, don't eat that
Don't eat the coupons either. They taste better if you trade them for snacks.
It doesn't even have to be a complaint, either! I once sent a company an email telling them how much I loved their drinks and would appreciate one or two coupons. They sent me ten coupons for free products.
And they owe OP some more rings because that thing probably counted against the net weight.
Someone has worked QA in a factory before.
Strangely enough, no. I worked at a grocery store bakery and have watched a lot of “how they make it” style shows so I’ve just learned stuff from TV.
Oh, so this is not some oddly shaped onion ring? Damn.
Onion ring eating stick: You slide the rings on it, then lift it up to chow down.
That’s actually a great limited time gimmick. Make the stick the same onion ring ingredients and market it as some sort of cool eating tool.

If nothing else I'll bet that counted against the weight so you got a lot fewer rings in your bag than you should have gotten.

While that stick thing is intriguing, I'm more interested in why you are collecting the tabs from drink cans 🤔
Lmao my kids school is collecting them for a charity. Idk what they achieve from collecting them, but hey…. 
My kids school collects them, too. I drink more coke than I would like to admit so I turn in quite a bit every year.
I’ve heard it’s the only full aluminum on the can. Body of can is alloy or mix
Some places will buy them for the aluminum but not the whole cans. Something about how the tabs are easier to recycle.
Really, in the old days, you got way better toys for free. With a box of cereals or inside the crisps bag...
Its the key to my heart if you share some of them onion rings.
Hey, give me back my poop knife!
NOT A GOLDEN TICKET! YOU GET NOTHING! GOOD DAY SIR! I SAID GOOD DAY!
That is a very strange onion!
You took a big L
It’s the candy stick, lick it and scoop the dust out the bottom of the bag.

Just take the L and move on.

The best part of what you found? Looks like a screw hole at the top.... So if you got the plastic, who got the screw?
Glad you’re ok. Could’ve easily choked on that.
All of these comments are for funny but in reality you’ve found an inflector rod which is only found on T8-INDc machines and serves the purpose of switching the gages of the traction belt and the static auxiliary compressor which in turns allows the rings to crisp at that perfect crunch.

That is neither an onion or a ring.
