Geeze, and I thought their inability to get my order right was kind of screwed up.
The Lost Ogle has learned that the little restaurant that we love to hate"“Braum's"“ is involved in a lawsuit for allegedly serving someone a bleachy chemical cocktail in place of an iced tea. The man suing Braum's, Robert Gump, claims that on March 09, 2004, he ordered a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit and a large iced tea. We know this because it is what Robert said in an official court deposition that was secretly obtained* by The Lost Ogle:
They handed me a large cup of what I presumed to be iced tea. It had a lid on it. As I was pulling out, I put a straw in it, and due to my thirst, took a very large drink of tea. At the time, I immediately knew something was wrong"¦a lot of issues went through my mind. First issue was, "I've been poisoned." I was so, I guess, shocked. I immediately had a horrible taste in my mouth, in my nasal area. My throat was burning"¦
I have to get out of the truck and vomit. I then pull the truck into a parking space, get out, and run into the bathroom. All the while, I'm burnt "“ my throat is burning "“ I'm obviously scared. I get in the bathroom, and I just turn the faucet on an start to consume with my hands in my mouth, getting as much water in there as I can to attempt to flush this from my system. In doing so, I vomit, "“ I'm vomiting back up the water I'm drinking. My throat is burning worse. My nasal "“ I'm burning "“ everything back in my throat and nasal areas are extremely hot.
