“Nothing like a salad with a side of live frog”

by

Washing the lettuce when preparing a salad is a must nowadays with all of the pesticides food has. Because of the hassle of having to wash it, cut it and prepare the salad, a lot of people are increasingly opting for buying already washed lettuce. They are packed salads that you can open and immediately eat. It’s much easier and quicker. However, if we decided to buy an already packed salad, the following could happen to us.

Wisconsin, the United States

It took place in Wisconsin, the United States. The young Karlie Allen got the surprise of a lifetime as she got back from the grocery store. It turns out, that inside one of the packed salads she had bought, awaited nothing more and nothing less than a frog. Although it’s not an unusual animal, it is in fact, not very pleasant to find inside your food.

Allen quickly grabbed the phone and started filming the amphibian that was trying to escape out of the bag. It seemed as though the frog had been there for at least a couple of days, as it was unable to make his way out because of the plastic sealing.

Divided opinions

It didn’t take long before the video reached social media where it got thousands of visits and reactions in a short period of time. Thoughts were divided. Some claimed they wouldn’t hesitate in throwing the bag out, and other said it wasn’t all that bad.

In the end, it’s an organic and fresh salad, which is definitely the case, according to some users. Some suggested she should let the frog go and simply wash the lettuce as if nothing had happened. What do you think?

Judge dismisses speeding ticket in emotional video

by

Victor Coella, a 96-year-old man, was accused of speeding at a school zone. He was taken to a municipal court in Providence, in Rhode Island, where the judge decided to dismiss the case as soon as he heard the man speak.

Judge Frank Caprio was the person to take the case, and it was him who was confronted with Coella’s emotional responses. How the judge reacts will leave you in awe.

Compassion for Coella

At first, the judge confirms that the 96-year-old man had been given a speeding ticket because he was exceeding the limits in a school zone. However, Coella states: “I don’t drive that fast. I’m 96 years old and I drive slowly, and I only drive when I have to”.

When the judge discovers why the elder man was driving, he feels compassion for Coella. The 96-year-old says he takes his son, of 63, to the hospital every 2 weeks because he has cancer.

Family first, and the praise of the judge

Judge Frank Caprio becomes emotional and feels compassion for the man. He responds with “You really are what America is all about. Here you are in your 90’s, and still taking care of your family. That’s just a wonderful thing”.

The case hits home

What’s even more surprising, is how the judge reacts after saying this. He refers to his own son, who by chance is also sitting in the room. By doing this, he shows how he emphasizes with the man. He finally praises Coella, wishing him and his son all the best, and decides to wrap up by dismissing the case. Definitely an emotional case.
