(AP) — A man who says he bit into a Burger King sandwich and found an unwrapped condom inside has sued the owner of the restaurant. Van Miguel Hartless, 24, of Fair Haven, said Friday he bought the Southwestern Whopper at a Burger King in Rutland on June 18 and made the discovery when he got home and started eating it. “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 beween my teeth. I saw it half in my mouth, half hanging out. It was an immediate sick-to-my-stomach type of thing.”
Hartless, a student at Green Mountain College, defended his claim. A search of court filings in Rutland Superior Court – where Hartless’ suit was filed – and the Civil Court in El Paso!, Texas, where he lived before showed no prior or existing lawsuits, according to the Rutland Herald, which first reported the lawsuit Friday. Hartless’ lawyer, Devin McLaughlin, said he had Hartless undergo a lie detector test before the suit was filed, and that he passed “with flying colors.”
Gakk!
Good thing the condom didn’t come loaded with special sauce.
He must have ordered his whopper with MAN-aise
Speaking of that, I think The King needs a Kleenex.
didn’t know the King was into sausage.
Hope the pickles hold the lettuce special orders don’t upset us…have it your way!
hhmmm they must have confused his order with a meatnormus…..

Maybe he should stop ordering the Bukkake whopper.

… hope the pickles??? hope the pickles what??
hope their not wrapped in a condom! :-/
I meant hold the pickles…
Anyone else find it suspicious that this guys name is Van Hartless?
If this DID happen, I seriously doubt it was the fault of any policy of Burger King. It surely happened — on purpose — because of a stupid or disgruntled. employee. (like “sneezers”)
But, of course Burger King has the deep pockets.
#12 – deep pockets? There is nothing wrong with pocket pool as long as you don’t play any “away” games.
Like Mister Mustard says..let’s not blame all the condiments just because some of the more high profile ones turn out to be hypocritical scumbags…..^_^
WTF is Rutland?
Mister Uncle Ben said, What exactly is the restaurant being sued for?
Emotional stress will be argued, no doubt. The fact that is was wrapped certainly makes it less traumatic, IMHO.
C’mon. Would you not be at least a little traumatized if YOU found a condom in your food?
I’ve have had a personal experience once with restaurant food that left me queezy for months whenever I thought about it. I’m pretty resilient that way but I can imagine how it could affect others who are less so.
All I can think of is that some employee at BK fucked the meat patties.
I’m forming a sick mental image of some jerk and a jar of mayo.
Ya, better sue for my nausea.
