A moment of savouring a takeaway meal for a British mother turned distressing and unhygenic when she discovered a cigarette butt and ash at the bottom of her McDonald's Happy Meal, which she had intended to serve to her one-year-old child.
On October 18, 35-year-old mother Gemma Kirk-Bonner bought a Happy Meal from a McDonald's restaurant in Barrow-in-Furness, England. When she got home and began feeding her 1-year-old son Caleb and her 3-year-old son Jackson, she was taken aback by a disturbing discovery: a cigarette butt hidden within the meal, leaving her upset. Now she wants an apology from the fast food chain.

Expressing her frustration, the upset mother posted on Facebook, sharing a photo that depicted the cigarette butt mingled with the fries: "Forget the toy... now comes with a cigarette end and ash for extra taste. Phoned up to make a complaint but rudely spoken to then she put the phone down on me!."
