Man Found Maggots In His Milk At Denny's
<snip>

NORFOLK — Russell L. Long sat down for breakfast at a local Denny’s restaurant two years ago and was served, along with his breakfast, a glass of maggot-contaminated milk, according to a $1 million lawsuit that was filed this week in federal court.

The suit doesn’t say whether Long consumed the organisms, but the experience continues to bother him physically and mentally.

Long, the suit says, “has been hampered by not being able to eat at any restaurants and has not been able to enjoy daily family meals as well as special occasions and holiday gatherings involving food and drink.”

Denny’s denies the allegation but says in a cross-claim that if the milk did contain maggots, they must have come from the supplier, Marva Maid.

“It is our intent to vigorously defend ourselves,” said Debbie Atkins, director of public relations at Denny’s corporate headquarters in Spartanburg, S.C. “We’ll let the facts speak for themselves in court.”

About an hour west of the Beach.

9. Possible fraud
Notice how it was a multimillion $$ chain restaurant that got sued, not a mom-and-pop.

Denny's goes through enough milk to drain about ten gallons a day minimum, delivered in boxes to the back door with built-in spigots.

Follow the story ... see if the lawsuit gets dropped. Remember the woman who said she got trampled at Wal-Mart last Christmas?

10. That's what I'm inclined to believe.
How would maggots get in milk, anyway? Flies lay their eggs in rotting meat, not milk. Can a fly egg even mature into a maggot in milk?

13. If Long is non-white, it's possible that he waited that long
to be waited on and for his meal to be served at Denny's. No joke.
