Checkers, Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, FL, USA

15 or so minutes ago I ordered these items ( checkerburger with cheese, a side of small fries, and 4 Mozzarela stix pieces), and several minutes (5-10 at most) later, I felt perfectly fine until I started sipping the smoothie. Then my mouth suddenly started salivating excessively and I ran to the bathroom to vomit everything (burger, smoothie) and it was right after drinking the smoothie. This isn't the first time I feel weird after eating at checkers.

The last time I ate at checkers (before this incident) was the first time I ordered the strawberry smoothie as a side to my usual order (same as the one today, minus the mozzarela stix) and both me and my mother had a terrible stomach egg that lasted a long time shortly after eating the meal. My mom had the same order as me but without any smoothies, just a regular sized coca cola.
I sadly threw away my receipt and the package after eating the meal, so I don't have the proof on hand, but I do have my mother as witness to both incidents. | Symptoms: Vomiting

I purchased a Danish Custard pastr from Checkers Hartebeespoort Wednesday 21 February 2024, I had... See More eaten into the pastry and halfway through noticed a rotting/mold on the Custard as well as the pastry was burnt. Immediately I stopped eating the pastry. I emailed Checkers Hartebeespoort and they offered me a replacement and brushed it off, I asked the representative "how can you replace something that made me sick I have already lost trust in Checkers " I then found a Complaint number on Google and sent a whatsapp message with the pictures. I then got some Gaviscon and Immodium as since then I have had an upset, runny tummy. Eventually on Friday I went to see a doctor as these symptoms have not stopped. The doctor has given me medication and today 5 days later I am still in pain with the same symptoms, no one has contacted me today. Last week when I had spoken to someone else from Head Office she had told me that there was mold on the pastry. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting See Less

Additional information: Ate a McChicken with no mayonnaise from McDonald's drive thru on 2/26. It tasted weirdly sweet and the chicken patty had a... See More wet texture to it, like it wasnt cooked/fried long enough before it was served. Had night sweats and nausea for a few days after eating, then on 3/3 started having abdominal cramps, rumbling, and diarrhea. The McChicken is the only recent thing in memory that I've eaten that nobody else in my family did, and only I'm sick currently. Also haven't attended any big gatherings recently, so it's unlikely (but still possible ig) to be anything viral. I very rarely get diarrhea (last time I did was back in 2018) so something's definitely not right here regardless. | Symptoms: Diarrhea, Nausea, Cramps, Chills, Night Sweats, Stomach Pain See Less
