Human Finger in Custard
How do you feel about frozen custard? good dessert? When Clarence Stowers purchased a pint from a Kohl's Frozen Custard store in 2005, he believed that. He brought it home, cracked it open, and bit into what he initially believed to be candy. Stowers said directly, "God, this ain't no nut," when he recognized something was off and the hard chunk in his custard was not a secret treat.
Not a nut, either. It was the finger of a man who had hurt his finger on a factory machine. According to reports, the incident transpired rapidly, and while staff members in the back assisted the man who lost a finger, someone in the front who was unaware of the events handed Stowers a fresh serving of custard.

As a side note, the timeline causes this story to take a strange turn at this point. The man who lost his finger was Brandon Fizer, and as we have mentioned, everything happened very rapidly. In fact, it happened so swiftly that medical professionals told Fizer he could still save his finger. In actuality, after Stowers discovered it, they had a six-hour window to reattach it. Nevertheless, Stowers resisted turning it over and instead kept it in his freezer while he thought about filing a lawsuit.
Stowers finally gave in and returned the finger two weeks later, but by that point it was obviously unusable and could not be saved. Then, he brought a lawsuit.
