“Pregnant mother Kim Hasler spoke of her horror yesterday after she bit into a McDonalds takeaway and crunched on a human tooth. Kim said she was nearly sick when she found the object which has now been sent away for analysis in a laboratory.”

“I went to bite into it and I heard a kind of crunch,” she said.

“There was this hard object in my burger. I took it out of my mouth and it was a tooth.

“I could not believe it — I thought it might have been one of my teeth but I checked and it definitely wasn’t.

“I was absolutely disgusted. It’s the most horrible thing I have ever eaten.”

…which is saying something, considering Ms. Hasler admits to buying a McDonald’s Happy Meal.

Reached for comment, company spokesman Ronald McDonald apologized to the Torquay native, noting that a disgraced Mayor McCheese — arrested last year on charges of embezzling “billions” from the US-based burger giant’s international expansion fund — will stop at nothing to discredit the fast food superchain.

“McCheese and his lackeys have engaged in this kind of industrial terrorism before,” McDonald told reporters. “Last summer, it was Grimace spunk in the apple-pie filling. Before that, there was that unfortunate business with Hamburgler and the young boy from Kent. We are confident, however, that when the former Mayor is convicted, we’ll witness an end to these kinds of incidents.”

A spokesman for Mr. McCheese denied the allegations, and noted that “everyone knows Ronald McDonald is a clown. So, rimshot.”

The former Mayor’s trial is set to begin June 7.
