- Easty, on 10/12/2007, -11/+455It's an adolescent Tostito.
Kill it before it breaks free from its cocoon and kills us all. - Rayfound, on 10/12/2007, -18/+408Its just a glob of corn meal that didn't get made into a chip. No big deal.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+382Who cares what it is. What we're all dying to know is how does it taste?
- daRoach, on 10/12/2007, -5/+196Real corn is easier to manufacture than fake corn.
- JDPoZ, on 10/12/2007, -19/+191LOL at the 2nd comment. Very creative...
"It's a rare fabled Qinghai Desert Pringles Dragon.
Only 4 were made by mysterious Wise Men in the deserts of China, 7,000 years ago.
The circle is complete. Eat it and fulfill the prophecy.
Report back afterwards to tell us how tasty it was." - jas168, on 10/12/2007, -5/+173Hah, I've actually gotten something like that in a bag of Tostitos once.
Unfortunately, I'm not a blogger, so I just threw it away and never told the internet. - mrfreeziexp, on 10/12/2007, -19/+174It looks like part of a bee hive.
- lebe0024, on 10/12/2007, -10/+150You're a moron. You don't have to be from the south to know that is not a wasp nest. Heck, you can google and see what a wasp nest looks like.
I think it's a chunk of salt or corn from the food processing. - RATabora, on 10/12/2007, -23/+142That is disgusting.
- XStatic, on 10/12/2007, -2/+105Looks like a years supply of free Tostitos to me...
- LandStander, on 10/12/2007, -6/+106I found something like this in a Lays Salt & Vinegar Chip bag a long time ago. It was a ball of salt and vinigar and i assumed unmolded chip parts. It was disgusting looking. I got a free bag of chips for it. I never knew what it tasted like though. I have many regrets.....
- ReikoX, on 10/12/2007, -9/+104Looks like a piece of corn cob.
- x0nIMIn0x, on 10/12/2007, -3/+93Thank you! You just solved a mystery that has haunted me for years.
I once bit into a fried chicken breast from KFC and found something attached. I was completely unable to identify the organ. It was a dark rubbery mass tethered to the meat with a stretchy tube. Utterly revolting.
After reading your post, I did a Google image search on "chicken lung", and lo and behold: a match.
I never ate at KFC again, and don't plan to start, but I'm relieved to find the chunk wasn't what I always feared it might be, a tumor. - merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -12/+101Once upon a time (a whole century ago), when men slaughtered their own food, I'm pretty sure finding an organ in your meat wouldn't have been a big deal. It's amazing what tremendous pussies we are these days.
Meat is made from animals. Seriously. - InfinitySnatch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+70Fried asbestos? More like Asbestlutely delicious!
- eddieo, on 10/12/2007, -5/+61It's the Mother Mary...quick, put it on ebay while the interest is high!
- Satanael, on 10/12/2007, -11/+64Well now we know they use real corn in their chips.
- Aeaus, on 10/12/2007, -22/+68Money :)
- CaptMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+45It's the queen cornchip. The other Tostitos tend the hive while the queen hatches more chips. Don't they teach kids anything in school these days? Frito-Lay will probably want that back.
- profOblivion, on 10/12/2007, -4/+45I'm inclined to believe zachatsfsudotedu's comment on the photo itself: "It's a rare fabled Quinhai Desert Pringles Dragon."
- Absinthminded64, on 10/12/2007, -10/+49Oh, I know! . . . . Linda Tripp's hang nail?
@Reality it's not a wasp nest. Wasps aren't exclusive to the south. - b3mus3d, on 10/12/2007, -4/+42aarontyler-
what the hell IS that?! - mainfr4me, on 10/12/2007, -8/+45Madness? THIS IS TOSTITOS!!!!
- CedEx, on 10/12/2007, -7/+43@ jas168
You never told the internet?!?!?!
You selfish bastard! - GCarden, on 10/12/2007, -1/+32It's the quality control guy's last day on the job.
- weareglass, on 10/12/2007, -7/+38Don't worry, it wasn't a chicken lung.
It was a "chicken" lung. - dclowd9901, on 10/12/2007, -2/+31You can all look at this in a bad light, but, "Hello!": FREE TOY!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+31Just last week I opened a bag of Cheese Doritos and there was a giant chunk of cheese in there and just a couple of chips.
. . . the cheese was delicious btw. - AaronTyler, on 10/12/2007, -25/+53http://blog.wfmu.org/photos/uncategorized/easterneuropeskincondition1c.jpg
- Marvelboy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+31Ok, I worked at frito lay for a year. My parents have worked there my whole life. That thing looks like a piece of ventilation from the ceiling. I didn't read too much into the person who found this, but if it came from anywhere in my area it's from the local potato chip plant. Also, I can guarantee that Frito Lay is going to do some HARDCORE damage control on this.
Oh, and the stuff around it is probably part of the frying process.
Edit: upon closer inspection it looks like an entire corn cob...which in and of itself is gross. - unusualbob, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25time for a visit to how its made!
- Farik, on 10/12/2007, -5/+29That looks disgusting, but try biting into a nice juicy chicken breast from KFC and finding a lung.
- davesbrain, on 10/12/2007, -7/+26Isn't that what happens from masturbating?
- zeromancer, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21it really isn't that crazy of a name... zach @ sfsu . edu
- coheedcollapse, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20I wouldn't doubt it if it was just a misshapen blob of whatever they press those corn chips out of. Looks like it's made out of the same stuff, just thick and blobby instead of flat how it should be.
I really have no idea how those chips are made though, so I wouldn't know. - blahtastic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19@aarontyler
Dude....the skin condition link...that was..not....cool.....worst image association to food ever. You just made me throw up in my mouth a bit... - srdeuss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Yes, but will it blend?
- x0nIMIn0x, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14@ merreborn
Of course, you are right. Meat is made from animals, and, obviously, vice-versa.
I mentioned I was relieved to resolve the mystery after all this time. A lung in some fried chicken is novel, and probably, to many people, pretty gross, but certainly not outrageous. I imagine there are some cultures where a deep fried bird lung is an acceptable food.
However, my fear at the time was that I had bitten into diseased flesh and had chewed on a cancerous growth. Honestly, I don't think it makes one a huge pussy to not want to eat a sick animal. The idea of eating a tumor is repellent to me.
The thing that really stuck with me, and contributed foremost to my subsequent avoidance of KFC, was that I really had no idea what I had put in my mouth. Now that I've figured out what it was, who knows? Maybe I'll pick up a bucket on the way home tonight. And if I find anything else I can't identify, I'll save it for you. - Dayyve, on 10/12/2007, -9/+22It's a chunk o' maggot patty, of course.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15Tostitos are made of flour, they use molds to make every chip look exactly the same, when a mold breaks or there is a problem in the production line, a big chunk of dough gets trapped in the machine, this one apparently got cooked, processed and undetected by quality control made it to a bag...nothing special, I am sure that thing is edible and the taste is as any other tostitos chip.
Carry on...next story. - openyoureyes17, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13omg, i made it through all the nasty comments, but THAT made me throw up.
- LoompaOompa, on 10/12/2007, -5/+17frodsteamin2, if that made you throw up a little I'd hate to think of what happened to you when you read this story:
http://www.setexasrecord.com/news/193627-episiotomy-delivers-doctor-to-court - venom8599, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15Actually, it's Lewandowsky-Lutz dysplasia, an extremely rare skin condition. That's from a Romanian man with a particularly bad case.

Sorry about the gross-out, it's just one of those things... I just had to do it. - PhillipJFry, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15sorry man, that ***** was too gross.
burried - bluemeep, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14Just looks like a chunk of warped corn cob to me. Probably made it through whatever processors they use and wound up in the bag.
- krinthekuz, on 09/16/2008, -1/+10it's just corn...
tostitos are fried processed corn. the machine that shapes the corn into triangles must have gathered some of the processed corn paste and it fell off onto the heater belt, which later ended up in your bag. this happens a lot more than you think, and this is by no means an isolated case. it just doesn't happen often, and most people don't blog it. - Paperthin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Dude, you can't "catch" cancer from a chicken, or anyone for that matter. But still....ewww
- charliecharlos, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11It's obvious, it's your you ticket ro richtown, LAWSUIT HERE I COME!!!
- plastek, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11You forgot "Will it blend?".
