kelticwizard Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 This seemed to be as good a place as any to post this. Corona Extra beer recalled over dangerous glass particles Aug 19th 2014 12:10PM 65 Comments Who loves a refreshing, ice-cold, beer ... filled with glass? Didn't think so. Wegmans says it is recalling glass bottles of Corona Extra beer because they could contain pieces of glass! Ouch. Officials say routine inspections in the company's quality control lab found defects in certain bottles that could cause small particles of glass to break off into the bottle. You don't have to give up all Corona products, though. The recall only includes 12-ounce clear bottles - which are sold in 6, 12 and 18 packs. Customers can return the recalled bottles for a full refund. Glass pieces turning up in glass bottles is not all that surprising. Last year, though, Kellogg pulled 36,000 boxes of Special K Red Berries cereal because it could contain dangerous glass fragments. A few months earlier it pulled 2.8 million boxes of Mini-Wheats were found to contain metal fragments. Not the best way to start your day. http://www.aol.com/article/2014/08/19/corona-extra-beer-recalled-over-dangerous-glass-particles/20949179/?icid=maing-grid7|main5|dl23|sec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D517438&hpt=hp_bn16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryK Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Last year I brought home a bag of hamburger buns with a large rubber grommet in it! I should have returned them, but I'm around manufacturing places a lot...it probably just popped off a machine and wasn't intentional. Somebody would've been fired for no good reason -- so I just threw them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Bit Special Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Limes mix well with a cut-up mouth. Drink up and enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelticwizard Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 You're lucky if it is your mouth which gets cut up-imagining swallowing them and have them take out your innards on the way down. Of course if you drink enough of them, after awhile you won't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
