Maybe meth shakes are just part of the super-secret In-N-Out menu?
A lawsuit was filed in L.A. on Wednesday by Fred Maldonado, who claims that he got sick after drinking a milkshake from the In-N-Out Burger in Downey. Via, Press Telegram:
The suit states that Maldonado bought a burger and drink from the drive-through lane of the restaurant on Firestone Boulevard on March 9, 2014. He then took the items back to his nearby motel room, the suit states.
The next morning Maldonado found two capsules and a napkin at the bottom of the drink cup, the suit states. He returned to the same In-N-Out location and told the manager, who apologized and offered him a certificate for a free burger, according to the complaint.
“Plaintiff did not initially know what the two capsules were, but later testing revealed that they were methamphetamine and that it appeared that they may have been illicitly manufactured,” the suit states.
Maldonado claims to have suffered nausea and “severe mental distress” after drinking the shake, according to the lawsuit.
Meanwhile, In-N-Out Burger executive vice president Arnie Wensinger says that the whole thing is fiction. “We will vigorously defend these baseless claims.” Wensinger told City News Service. “Due to the fact that this matter involves ongoing litigation, we will unfortunately not be able to comment any further.”
