In the latest of the let's-sue-McDonald's-because-they're-a-big-company-with-lots-of-dough practice, a couple in Florida is suing McDonald's over a tough bagel.
That's right. John and Cecelia O'Hare sued the burger giant for unspecified damages of more than $15,000. They claim an improperly prepared bagel damaged the husband's teeth and their marriage.
Wow, that's a lot to lay on a little piece of bread.
The lawsuit contends that John O'Hare broke teeth and bridgework when he bit into a bagel from McDonald's. The suit alleges the wife, "lost the care, comfort, consortium and society of her husband."
Tracey Johnstone, owner of Johnstone Foods, which owns the McDonald's that served the O'Hares, said she never before had a bagel complaint and had no idea how it could have been prepared in a way that would damage teeth.
"It's a bagel," she said.
