I bought a BK big fish last night after working on the teener. About an hour later lots of colors were showering out of my mouth!. I'm ok today, so I called BK and reported the problem. They said " we will investigate this matter". I think they owe me my 6 bucks. What do you think ?


They actualy called me back today. Offered me a free meal. Don't think I'll take them up on that one, but at least they responded!

Tell 'em you want a new sandwich. Delivered by the King.

I think if you go and get crappy food, you shouldn't be surprised if it actually *IS* crappy ...

Blasphemy! Nuttin better than a whopper w/cheese! but I only eat one about once every two months.

I've never had a fish sandwich in my life, Micky D's BK or otherwise & I'm 46.

Fast food is just that.

Expect it to come out fast.....either end.

I love a good fish sandwich. However, I'm not sure that's fish. Hope you feel better.

They sell you food they claim "tastes good". They don't ever actually come out and say it IS good. In fact, they CAN'T say it "is" good. The local DA would be all over their sorry arses for false advertising. BTW, I read somewhere that a Quarter Pounder w/o cheese is actually less bad for you than a Grilled Chicken Club sandwich.

I got sick on a McRib once when I was a kid, I barfed for a day straight. I'll never eat one again.

Which is a good thing, isn't it.... McRib - that's just not... natural...

LOL (I really did laugh out loud). Collect it in a bucket and ask for a refund.

I see that you live at Discovery Bay, CA. Maps.google.com tells me that you are very close to the San Francisco bay area.

So when you decided on a fish meal, you went to Burger King????

Come on, that's just a little bit funny (in a dark, projectile vomiting way).

Speaking professionally, if you got food poisoning, you wouldn't be sick until the day after. 24 hours or so before symptoms manifest.

So, you either went in sick or you had a case of stomach wisdom. Your stomach simply said, "that shit ain't food" and you yacked up a furball... Either way, don't go back. Your stomach was right!

I hate to say it
But why go to a burger joint to buy fish?

Better than Navy food!

Hey Underthetire

I also live in Disco-bay! Did you buy this at the MickyD's in town?? I try to avoid that place but there is not much else that is quick other than a sandwich at Safeway!

I am down in Hollywood for a while but we should touch base when I get back! I would love to hear about another teener in Disco-Bay. I have only seen one other 914 here, it had a V8!

PS:

Never buy fish from a burger place.

Hows that? 2-6hrs is the usual time for many common pathogens. B. Cereus and Staph to name two. E. Coli may take a while depending on the type; ETEC, EHEC, EIEC, etc...

I was in the ED last night due to gastritis No vomit, but I lost about 10lbs rectally I havent been a patient since I was 18 and woke up in Oaklands ED. I got picked on by all the docs because they all know me and I applied there.

As for a refund, good luck.

That's hilarious, and so true he he.

This is exactly why I DON'T eat seafood (any form)....Too many toxins!

How about peanut butter? Or chicken? Or beef? Or alfalfa sprouts? Or tomatoes?

Most of these foods are pretty safe if harvested/cleaned/packaged/cooked properly. But it doesn't take many screw ups to poison the entire food chain.

Having worked the ER as a Nurse. It is possible to get that sick that fast off of seafood ( Joe's Crab Shak has a pretty bad rep), but anything that toxic would most likely taste rancid enough to let you know not to swallow it. Undercooked would be the most dangerous bacteria-wise, and with the highly trained, career oriented professionals working the fry-o-lator at BK I can't imagine anything going wrong.

I got food poisoning from Taco Johns when I was 18. It's a good thing the sink was infront of the toilet so I could and at the same time. 32 years ago and I still can't eat there.

I bet the fish was fine, most likely candidate is the tarter sauce with Staph. Very common, undetectable, and fast acting.

That sounds logical. After all the fish had a bath in boiling oil. They should have fried the tartar sauce too!

My favorite place for a fried fish sandwich is the Seven Mile Grill in Marathon Key, FL. My next favorite is home, grouper fried outside on the patio so we don't smell and grease up the kitchen.

You WENT to a place called Taco Johns? I see a red flag right there...

That's like trusting a place called "Billy Bob's Shack of Good Wine."

Only in "Disco-bay", wherever that is, would someone ask you if you bought a Burger King product at Mc Donalds. Or maybe it's one of those multiple line stores .................

Hey, leave him alone, it's the Midwest!!!

Holy crap Rick, you took me wwaaaaayyyyyy back to growing up in and around Fort Dodge IA and whenever I went into FD I would swing by Taco John's Never had food poisoning tho' from there, but then moved to SoCal and probably couldn't choke down Taco John's to save myself now

My cousin lived in DiscoBay for awhile, he is in Livermore now (grew up in Castro Valley) and Disco was nice on the water there.

I am with the Evil one on the turn around time of food poisoning - for me it is like clockwork... I start feeling crappy a few hours later and at almost exactly 8hrs later I am hurling my guts out.

The worst case I ever had was at Friday's in FL (my fiancee had it at Fridays in SoCal so it is a chain thing IMHO and I won't go back). We landed for PRI at around 3pm, ate right by the airport around 3:30-4pm and the burger had a "wang" but I thought is was all the spicy combo of crap they put on it. By 7pm I was laying on the concrete floor in the Convention Center sweating and groaning, hitting the restroom for "rectal" part as Evil said rather often. Told my friend I was there to help work the PRI show he was on his own and I would be hurling by 11:30 or midnight. 11:45... and it wouldn't stop. I was down the whole next day.

No your right! I had a buzz when I typed that!!

Mc Donalds is the only fast food restaurant within 12 miles of Discovery Bay so I wasn't paying attention!

PS: This is DiscoBay

looks like you are pretty close to the water...I would venture to guess there might be a fish joint close by....just maybe.

I agree that its a pretty slim chance it was the fish. The fish is processed from fresh/caught to a flash freezer (-45 degrees) in short order, under 30 minutes...
From there, its dropping into a vat of boiling oil...there is no chance for bacteria to survive those two process's

But the mayo....oh yah..probably ten days old...been in and out of a "fridge" for weeks on end....gets a nice crust on it after a while...
Plus dont foreget the guys sneezing and coughing into it.

You do have a health inspector in town...try using his services, you are paying his/her salary.

Obviously mis-named. I see no disco ball, nor anyone overdressed and doing complex but stupid dance steps ................ Looking at a map, it seems like it's kinda far from any significant body of water, at least one big enough to have a "bay". The Cap'n

Don't forget about the food service tech with the runny nose and booger on the end of his/her glove

I got the poison once from a peanut ( I think, might have been a worm ). One of those steak places with the basket of shelled nuts opn the table. Heading back form my grandads my dad and I stop in. Cracking and eating peanuts, I toss one in the mouth hole, bite down....peanut goes SQUISH.....nasty ass bitter taste....natural reaction is to get it DOWN as quickly as possible.....WRONG reaction. 6 hours later I'm on the toilet with a trash can in my lap. Expelling from both ends simultaniously. Damn near every hour, on the hour, for 24 hours. Pretty sure I was nearing the 90 lb mark by the end

The name of the "bay" that I live on is Beaver Bay and it connects into the Delta system which connects into the San Francisco Bay which connects into the Pacific Ocean! And the fish come in and play in the fresh water!

First thing to do is to call your county public health dept and report the case, they have to investigate it. Then go back and get your money back. I've learned my lesson about seafood....my rule is only order seafood in a seafood restaraunt.

Is DiscoBay the name of the group or where you live???

I didn't see a disco in the last picture and I sure as shit don't see a beaver here!

It is Discovery Bay, ca 94505

The locals call it DiscoBay or DBay



Sorry here you go!

dude in the blue shirt, bottom right corner....


BUSTED


check the eyes hahahahaha. That would be me as well

Aren't those the girls from the Housewives of Orange County TV show?

Totally! And yes I agree you should never eat one becasue it is soooo bad for you. A whopper is on my list of foods I should try never to eat.

Would you like some Biggie Fries with that Salmenella?

Someone has mistaken a Beaver with a Cougar.

Gota love Discovery bay, Cars are the only thing with bolt on accessories there!

Great boating
Great Fishing
Great women
And if your in to old man sports great golfing!

I guess that depends on how old you are!! They are all within about 3 years of me so Beaver is more applicable!




LOL I think you mean "Cars arn't the only thing with bolt on accessories here"

No. It depends on how old "they" are and those are cougars. Beavers don't look at guys our age.

That said... they're very nice looking cougars and I wouldn't kick any of them out of bed (unless I wanted them on the floor).

I wouldn't kick any of them out of bed (unless I wanted them on the floor).


Eric, does that totally fine wife of yours know you wrote that?? She would kick your butt all over the place!!!!

Uuuuuuuuuuuuu... No.

I've gotten sick twice from eating at Red Lobster. And I know it wasn't the tartar sauce... I don't eat tartar sauce. It masks the flavor of the fish. But then, they really aren't a seafood restaurant are they...

My wife likes them. I don't.

if you were going to get fish why not go to mcdonalds, if you go to burger king a whopper is the best choice




whopper junior 99 cents

He said a "Seafood" restaurant.
