Man sues Heineken after finding two dead geckos in his beer can

I would have been disappointed if Bob & Doug hadn’t appeared in this thread.

Seems pretty dubious.

  1. One Gecko is difficult, but two getting in there? The can would need to be open and in a single spot for a period of time, that seems dubious for a modern production line.
  2. Alcohol is a preservative, and the Geckos don’t look particularly decomposed. I don’t think “he immediately began having abdominal pain and started vomiting” is plausible.

Shouldn’t he be suing Geico?

It could have been worse. It could have been a can of Fosters.

“We use only the finest baby geckos, dew-picked and flown from Pakistan, cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and sealed in a succulent, Swiss, quintuple-smooth, treble-hops yeast envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose.”

But if we took the bones out it wouldn’t be crunchy.

I thought abdominal pain and vomiting was a normal reaction to drinking Heineken…

Foster’s biggest market is Europe (almost nobody drinks it in Australia…) where the rights to brew it are owned by Heineken International…
