A woman found a pencil in her Burger King meal
Leanne Daly had a takeaway dinner with her children on Monday (03.10.22) and was horrified to discover a hard wooden pencil as she bit into her Chicken Royale with bacon.
Daly told the Liverpool Echo newspaper: "My son passed me my burger, I had some and felt something weird. So I opened it up and a pencil rolled out. I thought, 'What the hell is that', as it looked like an eyeliner.
"So straight away I called them up and asked for an explanation and told them I had something in my burger. I described what it looked like and she told me 'not to worry' as it was only a grease pencil they used to mark the burger wrappers."
Leanne and her sons decided not to eat their food and got a refund instead.
A spokesperson for Burger King said: "We apologise for the impact this incident has caused and have investigated the matter raised."
