Diet of Worms Not Available at Applebee's, Despite Couple's Best Effort

gummi wormsA couple planted live worms in a salad at an Indiana Applebee's in order to get a free meal. Guh-guh-guh-gross, and holy crap, at least go someplace expensive if you're going to carry around "a plastic container of maggot-like bee moth worms." The staff at the restaurant discovered the scam when the woman accidentally left her purse behind after she and her dining companion "loudly complained she had found worms wriggling in her salad after the two had almost finished eating" and walked out on a $57 tab. A waitress was looking through the purse for ID so she could contact the bag's owner when she found the bugs. She called the cops. Again, we say gross. [CBS 2, image by deyboblue]

Best part of the article: "Just imagine the damage this would've done to the reputation of the associates of that Applebee's along with the image and brand to our company name had the woman not left her purse behind and word had gotten out about this incident," McMillin wrote.

Ah, yes, that spectacular Applebee's image. What are they ranked in the Michelin guide anyway? How about Zagat?

Diet of worms. I get it! That's what my college education is all about!

Jeanine Garofalo put it best ... it should be known as Crapplebees ... that's kinda irrelevant.
