In a viral TikTok video with 673,600 views, user Koy (@koyahna) showed viewers the discovery.

“What is that?” the woman asked as the camera zoomed in on the contents at the bottom of the drink.

She poured out what remained of the liquid to inspect further.

Then finally revealed that the item in question was a literal biohazard.

“That’s like a [expletive] crown to a tooth or something,” she said.

The woman held the item up to the camera. It certainly appeared to look like a tooth or a crown.

Is It Common To Find Items In Food From Restaurants?

The Mary Sue has previously reported on customers finding things in food purchased from restaurants.

One Maryland woman claimed she found something hard in her leftover Red Lobster meal.

Viewers tried to guess what the item was.

A man claimed he discovered something gooey in his wrap, setting off allegations that the food was still raw.

A Reddit user also wondered if they should pursue legal action after discovering something strange in their drink from a chain restaurant.

The Mary Sue reached out to Dutch Bros via email for comment.

The user wondered if they should pursue legal action.

Can A Customer Pursue Legal Action?

There are instances when a customer can pursue legal action.

However, it is more likely that someone can recover damages if they actually sustain an injury.

One law firm’s website explained what customers can do if they discover something in their food.

Sometimes the issue, like finding a strand of hair or another foreign object, can be remedied by simply asking for a replacement item.

However, there are instances where foreign objects found in food can be significantly harmful.

The firm discussed an incident involving a man named Stanley Pinkman.

The man suffered severe abdominal pain after biting into a hot turkey sandwich during a work break.

At first, he believed he was experiencing a heart attack. After he was transported to the hospital, doctors discovered a perforation in his esophagus. It was caused by bone fragments found near the injury site.

Injuries from food are actually more common than many believe. If anyone ever suffers an injury as the result of a dangerous object in food at a restaurant, they should consult with an attorney.

Viewers Had Jokes

In the video’s comments section, many made light of the discovery.

“You won the golden ticket. You got a crown cause you’re a queen,” one user wrote.

“My porcelain crown cost me 900… They might want that back,” user Gab commented.

Some asked for the woman to disclose the store’s location.

“You gotta tell us the location cause ain’t no [expletive] way!!!”

Others questioned if the incident was fake.

“This has to be fake,” user blue_sharpie20 said.

Ultimately, many commenters pointed out the woman didn’t want to pick up the item after she discovered it. However, she had already consumed the entire drink it was in.

“Not picking it up but drank it already hahaha,” one user wrote.

“‘I don’t wanna pick it up’ but drank 99% of the liquid it was leaching it’s essence into,” another said.

The Mary Sue reached out to the creator via TikTok direct message.
