Bay Area Wendy's restaurants: free "Junior Frosty" this weekend...
...to help you get over that finger-in-the-chili thing.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,154261,00.html



LAS VEGAS — The woman who claimed she found a finger in her bowl of Wendy's chili last month has been arrested, the latest twist in a bizarre case about how the 1½-inch finger tip ended up in a bowl of fast food.

Anna Ayala (search) was taken into custody late Thursday at her Las Vegas home. She was arrested on a warrant alleging grand larceny and attempted grand larceny, Las Vegas Police Sgt. Chris Jones said.

Earlier Thursday, Wendy's International Inc. announced it had ended its internal investigation, saying it could find no credible link between the finger and the restaurant chain. All the employees at the San Jose store were found to have all their fingers, and no suppliers reported any hand or finger injuries, the company said.

Wendy's also announced that it would offer a free "Junior Frosty" this weekend to Bay Area customers in an attempt to draw people back to the chain. Sales have dropped at franchises in Northern California, forcing layoffs and reduced hours, the company said. Wendy's also has hired private investigators, set up a hot line for tips and offered a $100,000 reward for anyone who provides information leading to the finger's original owner.

3. Is it really necessary to engage in this finger-pointing ?
