Wendy’s hoaxer admits she cooked finger
The Las Vegas woman forever known for the finger licking scam she tried to pull on Wendy’s in 2005 admitted recently how she prepared the finger she falsely claimed came with her Wendy’s chilli, CBS affiliate KPIX-TV said.
“I cooked it,” Anna Ayala said.
Gross!!
It seems Ayala prepared her co-worker’s finger in chili similar to that made at Wendy’s, the TV station reports.
Ayala was released from prison a year ago after serving 4 years of her sentence.
As a condition of her parole, she cannot go in to a Wendy’s.
The finger was traced back to Ayala’s co-worker who lost it in an work accident. The co-worker gave it to Ayala’s husband to settle a bet.
There were plenty of jokes made about the case. But Wendy’s wasn’t laughing. Based in Dublin, Ohio, the fast food chain claimed it lost $2.5 million in sales because of the bad publicity.
What do you think?

That False Story plus the death of Dave Thomas had Wendy’s loose a lot of Sales. That is why the parent company of Arby’s bought Wendy’s…..Sad

She should be in a mental ward. She apparently has no conscience. She’s a danger to the outside world and shouldn’t be allowed to be free to do it or something worse. She ruined their reputation.

I still eat at Wendy’s. Some crazy finger lady wasn’t going to make me quit going. People should have realized from the start that this was just a scam. Poor Wendy’s.

the court and awards system is way out of balance… so you have all these people that plan their retirement based on lawsuit settlements, spending all their time scheming up ways to sue anyone and everyone that has the ability to pay… Doctors, Insurance companies, food companies…

I’ve heard of giving someone the finger, but this went too far.
