Operation Fruit Snacks – Hitting The Lottery?

This is another classic story of what our nation has become over the years in regards to entitlement.

Shea Harris, 25, of Raleigh, NC, bought himself 2 boxes of dinosaur fruit snacks from a local Kroger grocery store for 99 cents each. Sitting at home, he was “killing those snacks” even though he wore braces.

As Harris continues to eat, he finishes off one box and is into the third package of the second box when he feels something hard in his mouth. He spits it out and it appears to be part of a human tooth.

According to Harris, “I was freaked out by it! It was disgusting.” At this point he feels he has hit the lottery.

Harris jumps in his car and races to the Kroger where he bought the boxes and shows the gummy to a clerk. No help there, so he then calls up ConAgra Foods from the 800 number listed on the back of the box.

ConAgra calls him back and offers him $35 or an option of filing a claim. Harris, upset at only being offered $35, goes the claims route.

ConAgra has a claims management firm pick up the tooth for independent testing and is awaiting results.

In the meantime, Harris is dreaming of cashing in big and starts calling the attorneys. To his amazement, no one wants to take on his case. I wonder why?

Harris has admitted that he hasn’t suffered any harm whatsoever.

Undeterred, Harris has sent in his own claim demanding an apology and $35,000 cash. He states, “I know that might sound outrageous, but I know this is worth more than $35.”

In an attempted nice gesture, Harris says he is willing to negotiate with ConAgra.

I wonder if anyone has checked to see if this is one of Harris’s own teeth?
