How much is a piece of blue plastic worth?

[Tiamat]

Last night my kid and I went grocery shopping and she bought some yogurt. She broke her foot the other day when she fell down our stairs and hasn't really felt like eating until last night. So we get the yogurt home and she's taken her vicodin and needs to eat. She starts the yogurt (you already see where this is going don't you) and get's about half way into it when she chokes. I take care of the choking and out pops a blue piece of plastic. Right there in the middle of the strawberry yogurt. Never saw a blue strawberry.

Call the HEB where we bought it and he would like us to bring it in with the receipt and he will take care of it and give us a $25 gift card for our trouble.

So if hot coffee from Mcdonalds was worth millions how much is a piece of blue plastic worth? $$$$$$$

Well, seeing as my ATM/Debit card is a piece of blue plastic, right now it's worth over $100, and under $1000000.

Depends. Like the coffee, did it burn any genetalia?

Very scary, though. It's good you were there - and knew how to handle choking situations. Many people don't, and don't know how important it can be.

As far as your case, since your daughter did not a) die, b) get seriously, permanently injured, c) go to the hospital, d) isn't a member of the richest group of bastards on the planet you ever did see, e) might not have the services of a Johnny Cochran-caliber lawyer...

I don't know if you'll get much more than 60 bajillion dollars.

Is it Kurt Cobain's lost plectrum? That'd be worth quite a bit.

Probably really only worth the $25 girft card. **sighs** well that might buy groceries for a day. OOOOOOOOOOooooOoooooooooo wait I just remembered those grocery stores have gas stations attached!!! Bonus! I can use it for gas

[Gangerolf]

well if you'd just let the kid choke a little longer then I'm sure you could have cashed in big-time.

[Q Classic]

Won't using it for gas only give you, like, what, 2 gallons?

While using it for groceries can buy you food for... hmm. 4 or more days! (If, like most bachelors, you use it to buy pasta and sauce. )

Really won't give me squat because I have a mini van and there's nothing mini about the gas tank.

And I make my own spagetti sauce. Takes three hours to make.

Tiamat: you just need a good lawyer!

Pity. Well, console yourself with this: at least you're not buying gas in Europe!

Don't forget, the woman in the McDonald's case had to undergo three skin graphs and was able to prove that for weeks, customers had been complaining that they were being scalded by the coffee but McDonalds wouldn't fix the problem.
