ALERT! ALERT! (Australia only)
Channel 9 news tonight: Nationwide recall of sabotaged strawberries from a farm in Queensland, two brand names that I didn't catch, but from the one farm.
In Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, punnets of strawberries have been found to have sewing needles deliberately place within the berries.
One man is hospitalised after swallowing a needle.
Tell everyone you know who buys strawberries.
None have been found here in South Australia, but I sure as heck won't be buying any strawberries from Queensland, and just to be safe, not from anywhere else either for a while.

I guess the USA does not have a monopoly on creeps!
ReplyDeletejoeh; nope, they're everywhere.
DeleteThe stupid dang things people do.
ReplyDeleteonly slightly confused; but why??
DeleteThat's just plain evil.
ReplyDeleteSusan Kane; yes it is.
DeleteWe had just bought strawberries when I saw that story. Fortunately none were affected. That is a truly rotten way to take your vengeance on your employer (they are pretty certain it was a disgruntled employee).
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child; it seems to always be a disgruntled employee. When I start buying strawberries again, I'll be slicing them up, just in case.
DeleteWow, that is so sick. Hopefully the story does get out and no one else gets hurt. You are doing your part.
ReplyDeleteWe have that problem here in the states around Halloween when things are put in children's candy. Just don't understand.
Arkansas Patti; I've heard about the halloween candy before, that's a horrible thing to do to children. To anyone, really.
DeleteSome people are just plain mean!!
ReplyDeletefishducky; and it seems so pointless, randomly hurting unknown people.
DeleteOne thing i will never understand is how some people can choose to do such wicked things. Do they want to be remembered as evil?
ReplyDeletemessymimi; revenge is a weird taskmaster and will never be fully understood.
DeleteSuch a nasty thing to do, strawberries are off the menue for a while.
ReplyDeleteMerle...........
Merle; even though my state has been declared safe, they are off the menu here too for a while.
DeleteOne guy who swallowed one of those dodgy strawberries didn't know what was needling him ,but when he heard the news he soon cottoned on.
ReplyDeleteVest; there is one man in hospital, I guess he found out pretty quickly what was needling him.
DeleteHow sad.
ReplyDeletejoanne; so very sad. I always wonder what was going through people's heads when they do such things.
