Danger lurks in the nutmix

[pine]

I just hit a half-centimeter chunk of what I'm pretty sure was quartzite in my Haggen brand nutmix. God I wish I had dental insurance right now.

Funny side-thought: How the hell do they get all the rocks and sticks and dead bugs out of peanuts and other produce during the processing before sale? It must be really hard. I'm sure when those products are harvested they are full of objects other than the desired food item. Yet when we consume them, they are almost always 100% perfect.

Damage report?

They have like a sifter thingy... I guess it's not perfect.

Oddly enough, whenever I bit into a chicken burger at the junior high school, once every ten burgers had a piece of bone or something in it.

Sometimes when i eat meat i very occasionally chew on something that feels like a grain of sand and it usually kills my teeth.

Those are quartz crystals. Quartzite is any metamorphic rock that is more than 90% quartz. :mad: ,,lol

Somehow this reminds me of the time that some donkey at the cheesecake factory pulled an okiedoke and gave me a cheesecake that was frozen solid.

pine, those sifters are usually pretty thorough. My bet is someone peed in your nutmix and passed a kidney stone.

Extra salt?

Also where's the blood?

Which rock? The Mohr scale goes from a hardness of 1 (talc; REALLY not very hard) to 10 (diamond; fatal if inserted into bodily orifices).

Quartz is a 7 btw.

Shards of glass and a needle have been found in bread packs at a bakery, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) has said.
