I couldn’t frickin’ believe this. Friday, in a spur of the moment decision, we realized we had no food in the house, so we got some Carl’s Jr. through the drive-up window on our way home from errands (we don’t get the kids fast food that often, so no lectures about feeding them fatty food, OK?). Typically, before leaving the drive-up window of any fast food place, we always make sure all of our stuff is in our bag. Glancing in, it appeared that everything was accounted for, so we drove home and sat down to eat our food. Typically, our routine when we get home is to tear apart the baby’s hamburger into pieces so that she can eat it easily. We started tearing it apart, and realized there was something terribly wrong with her cheeseburger: It had Jalapeños.
Carl’s Jr. managed to put a Jalapeño Cheeseburger — full of onions, a pile of Jalapeños, and a spicy sauce — into a kids meal for a one year old.
Needless to say, I was a bit pissed. We managed to scrap up some grub for the kid instead, but she really wanted that cheeseburger, and she would’ve been crying for the rest of the night had she taken a bite of it.
I didn’t have time to go down back down to the place and yell at them (do plan on, however) and I do plan on writing a letter to their corporate offices. Needless to say, I guess I’ll be dismantling all of our food before we bring it home next time.
