It's almost too easy.

Wendy's considers changing their chili recipe due to negative responses.

Thinking up that first line was shockingly difficult. Not because it was so unfathomable - after all, it's fast food chili - but because the jokes are just too easy. Which pun do you go with? Wendy's chili is finger-licking good? Something tastes funny, but I just can't put my finger on it?

Either way, you might want to avoid the chili from now on. At a San Jose Wendy's, one man learned the hard way that Wendy's "special recipe" is a bit too special.

Ben Gale from the Santa Clarita County department of environmental health told reporters that "Officials are trying to determine if the finger came in the raw materials Wendy's used to prepare the chili."

So, exactly which scenario is worse? That it arrived at the Wendy's and no one noticed it, or that someone lost it at the restaurant but no one thought to look for it?

What would've happened back in the kitchen? "Hey, Joe, didn't you have 10 fingers?" "Yeah, but it'll turn up."

But then again, maybe we're covering this all wrong. Maybe this wasn't fast food gone wrong, but Wendy's answer to the Happy Meal. Sure, at McDonald's you might get a little car or some other useless toy. But at Wendy's, you get spare parts.
