A man who says he found a lung in his KFC chicken wing also says he won't be eating at the fast food chain anytime soon.
Yes, you read that right! A lung. Pretty gross.
The Daily Mail reports Australian man Marc Nicholls was "shocked after chomping down on the grey, brain-like flesh." If you can stomach it, you can see all of the photos on The Daily Mail here.
"It was absolutely vile," Nicholls told The Daily Mail.
KFC can't seem to catch a break.
About a year ago, a man accused the fast food chain of serving him a fried rat in his meal. That story turned out to be a hoax (we debunked it here), but it's definitely not great for the brand — the misleading pics were all over Facebook for what seemed like weeks. It also inspired copycats looking for viral fame to accuse the restaurant chain of more gross crimes against fried food.
But unlike those tall tales, this one might actually be real. Allegedly, "a spokesman for KFC said the flesh was most likely a chicken lung or kidney that was mistakenly not removed during preparation of the food." This is according to a publication called the Gold Coast Bulletin out of Australia that published the story a few hours ago at the time of this post.
But when we called KFC's hotline we reached a friendly customer service rep who seemed very flustered at our inquiry about rogue lungs found in chicken wings. While he said he had never heard of such a thing, he directed us to the chain's media line where we were prompted to leave a message. We'll let you know if we hear back.
For now we remain skeptical, but the pictures alone are enough to make you swear off fast food — or maybe all food — forever.
