Sorry, Dee, this one is genuine. It went round the McSpotlight mailing list in
mid-August (the list you can subscribe to from the site) and I read it and
discarded it (as I didn't know it would come up again). It was also mentioned
by David Letterman on his 22/8/97 Top Ten List.
The salient facts of the case are that a guy in Hoover, Alabama ordered a Big
Mac at a Drive Thru. When he got the burger, he discovered a foil-wrapped
condom on the burger (not inside), underneath the salad.
He was (understandably) shocked, hence the lawsuit he took out.
If you find something you think is an urban legend, the best places to check
are alt.folklore.urban, or the associated web site at href="http://www.urbanlegends.com">this address
