: 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

Gideon, the Letterman show is certainly a credible source. And what about Hoover, Alabama; isn't it the town of the report sighting last week of Princess Di and Elvis.
None.
