They take their fast food hamburgers seriously down in Georgia. Seriously enough that if you screw with a man's
Big Mac you're doing jail time.
It all started in Union City, Georgia where a 20-year-old
MacDonald's employee named Kendra Bull accidentally over-
salted some hamburger patties. She told her supervisor who
tried to thump the salt off and figured they were good to
go.
This is similar to the five second rule. If you drop your
food on the ground but pick it up within five seconds it is
still okay to eat. Similarly, if you dump several ounces of
salt on a hamburger patty in Georgia but immediately try to
scrape it off, it's still okay to eat.
Unfortunately for Ms. Bull, the next person to order a ham-
burger was Police Officer Wendell Adams. Apparently Officer
Adams had not heard of the scraping-the-salt-off rule because
he became sick from eating the over-salted burger and decided
it was done deliberately.
Kendra Bull was arrested, charged with misdemeanor reckless
conduct, and spent the night in jail.
Bull defended herself by saying that she had eaten one of
the salty burgers on her break and didn't get sick. But that
didn't cut any ice with the law.
And just to make sure the tax-payers' money is being well-
spent the police sent samples of the burger to the state
crime lab for tests. There is no word yet on if it is actually
meat or just sawdust and beef-tallow.
