Additional information: My mother and I went here the other day and we ordered food. Strangely, inside my bag of food, there was not one but TWO large fries, one of which we did not order. On our way home, we ate the entirety of one of said large fry boxes, and they were hot and very delicious. It wasn’t until I dug my hand into the second that I noticed something off. That box of fries were ice cold, too cold to of been because of them sitting in the bag while consuming the other box. When I ate a few fries, they tasted not right, but not terribly bad to me. I gave a fry to my mom and she absolutely was disgusted, and a good few minutes later, she told me the horrid taste lingered in her mouth still. I ate a few more, but ultimately decided for my safety to not eat them anymore, in case they could make me sick. And, though I’m not completely sure it’s all from the fries, I feel it is a factor in some of my symptoms I’m experiencing just recently. My mother just had minor hand surgery this morning as I write this, so I don’t know what her symptoms are, if she’s had any. But I did eat a tiny more fries than her, so that might be it. And the workers here when we went seemed slightly suspicious, as one of them possibly sounded high or other, and I noticed him stick his head out the 1st window, after we’d driven to the 2nd, to do what looked like blowing something, as one might when smoking a substance. Things just felt off that entire time in the drive through. Hopefully it isn’t food poisoning or other similar of the like, but I wanted to share things nonetheless in case it turns out to be. | Symptoms: Stomach Pain, Cramps, Headache
