Mmmm, sometimes nothing hits the spot like a juicy burger. I love mine dressed with lettuce, tomato and a big hard bolt. Wait, stop! No, I do not like bolts in my burger and neither does an Albuquerque, New Mexico woman who bit into a burger she ordered at a local Applebee's and found that the burger meat had a bolt in it! The woman's sister, Diana Almarez recalls. "She bit into it and got a funny look on her face and we said, 'What's wrong?' As she kind of pulled the slider out of her mouth a little bit, there was this bolt." Not good.
She could have broken a tooth or choked on that thing, not to mention she could have swallowed it. I mean check out the size of this bolt in the picture below.

Call me crazy because I can't help but think that bolt was put in there intentionally. I mean how does something like that get past quality control? Fortunately, the woman was not harmed by the bolt.
The restaurant comped the meal. Yeah, that's the least they could do. What are they moonlighting as a hardware store?
If you think THAT'S bad, proceed with caution because I've got some more awful examples of things you don't want to put in your mouth. Check out the grossest things people have found in their food in the gallery below! –Additional reporting by Giselle Castro

Robin Sandusky found an unwanted reptile in her kale salad from Guy & Gallard. What she thought was a piece of asparagus was unfortunately a piece of a lizard! Yuck!
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.
