JOHN HABS Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Thursday morning 7th Feb, got myself a bowl of Sainsbury's Tropical Granola for my breakfast.... chewing on the second spoonful I came across something very hard in my mouth which I couldn't chomp on, took the piece out and looked at it, washed it under the tap........it was a human tooth ! As the wife and I were to go shopping at Sainsbury's on the following Saturday, I packed the tooth into a see through freezer bag with a note of the date I had found it in my cereal. We took them the partially open bag along with the tooth and explained we had found it in with the cereal and in particular in my mouth - they gave us another bag of the same free of charge and £7 in cash. Would you have accepted this or would you have took the complaint further ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seven quid could go towards a filling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Nice little earner for the dentist if they can charge the patient / NHS for treatment and also get £7 a tooth at Sainsburys, plus a box of cereal. Where's me pliers................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I don't think it's a big deal...to make a fuss about. These things happen. Maybe someone sneezed and lost a tooth during the production process. I remember some years ago buying a pillow and finding what appeared to be razor blade poking through it...very nasty it could have been. It turned out to be a partial blade from the machinery cutting the pillow filling. The shop replaced the pillow and gave us a voucher towards future purchases. I was happy with that. No harm done.

You're simply not taking this hysterically enough. That could have hurt kittens and brought about the end of civilization as we know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*_ash_* Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Shame it was a human tooth. Had it been a horse tooth you would have made a few hundred quid with the DM or Sun, and perhaps made BBC News 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I've enough problems in the morning without having to call out dentists and a team of counsellors as I munch through my Cornflakes! Bad start. Things will probably get worse. Toothless porridge is the way to go. ---------- Post added 14-02-2013 at 01:51 ---------- Thursday morning 7th Feb, got myself a bowl of Sainsbury's Tropical Granola for my breakfast.... chewing on the second spoonful I came across something very hard in my mouth which I couldn't chomp on, took the piece out and looked at it, washed it under the tap........it was a human tooth !

Mr Bloom Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 How do you know it was in the Granola and not a milk tooth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
