Robin Sandusky is most likely never buying lunch from Guy & Gallard again. The Manhattan theatrical agent who has been ordering from their 29th street and 7th avenue location for the last two weeks, was pretty grossed out when she discovered a lizard head in her leafy kale salad on Tuesday afternoon. Now how the heck did that wind up in there? Ewww!!!

"It was the craziest thing," Sandusky told the NY Post. "After a few bites, I look down at my fork, and think, 'Oh is that a piece of asparagus?' And then I saw that it had eyes, and an arm." That's when she realized it was the remains of a green lizard. Can you believe that?
Sandusky apparently orders from Guy & Gallard often and never had this problem before. I guess it's fair to assume that she won't be going back moving forward. In fact, she was so "grossed out" she packed up the salad with the lizard head and sent it right back to the Guy & Gallard location she ordered from. She got her refund, but the manager claims there was no evidence of a lizard in the salad once it was sent back.
It looks to me like that manager is just looking to save his own butt. For all we know he could have asked the deliveryman himself to confiscate the lizard head so that he wouldn't get in trouble. I wish I could say this was the first incident of its kind, but it seems like a lot of people are finding strange things in their food these days and it's really upsetting. Check out a few other strange things folks have found in their meals! –Additional reporting by Giselle Castro

Dead scorpion in powdered baby formula
Caroline Black freaked out when she found a dead scorpion in her baby's powdered baby formula. She immediately contacted the company who claimed they thought it was burnt powder and NOT a scorpion. Unbelievable!
Snake head in green beans
Misty Moser was preparing dinner for her family when a snake head popped up from her bag of frozen green beans. She was not happy with the company's response which was to give her a coupon, when her kids could have gotten sick from it.
Spiders in bananas
Consi Taylor bought bananas when she went grocery shopping and didn't expect to get the shock of a lifetime. As she was eating the fruit, a giant deadly Brazilian spider appeared crawling on it and there were also unhatched eggs. Ew!
Spiders on grapes
Yvonne Whalen was washing red grapes when she found something slimy and learned it was spider web. Along with it was a deadly black widow spider crawling on the grapes!
Crickets in burgers
From all of these on the list, this one is actually done on purpose. A restaurant in downtown Manhattan offers "Grass-whoppers" which contain queso Chihuahua, chipotle mayo, heirloom tomatoes, onion, and romaine lettuce, and crickets inside of a whole-wheat mini pita. I guess if you're the adventurous type go for it!
Frog in Salad
A Wall Street Journal reporter found a frog in her salad from upscale eatery, Pret A Manger. The poor woman didn't know the creature had been in her meal until she was half-way finished. The restaurant apologized for the incident and offered her a free lunch for the next time she visited.
