One reason why you shouldn't chew tobacco - a toe in it

From Pillars v. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, et al.

"The appellant sued the Corr-Williams Tobacco Company, distributors, and R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, manufacturer, of “Brown Mule Chewing Tobacco,” for damages resulting to the appellant from Chewing a piece of Brown Mule tobacco in which was concealed a decomposed human toe. The evidence disclosed that R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company was the sole manufacturer of the tobacco, and that this company manufactured the identical plug which contained the rotten toe; the tobacco in question was sold by the manufacturer to the other defendant, the Corr-Williams Company, and resold by the latter company to a retailer in Jackson, and was bought by appellant from the retailer. It seems that appellant consumed one plug of his purchase, which *366 measured up to representations, that it was tobacco unmixed with human flesh, but when appellant tackled the second plug it made him sick, but, not suspecting the tobacco, he tried another chew, and still another, until he bit into some foreign substance, which crumbled like dry bread, and caused him to foam at the mouth, while he was getting “sicker and sicker.” Finally, his teeth struck something hard; he could not bite through it. After an examination he discovered a human toe, with flesh and nail intact. We refrain from detailing the further harrowing and nauseating details. The appellant consulted a physician, who testified that appellant exhibited all of the characteristic symptoms of ptomaine poison. The physician examined the toe and identified it as a human toe in a state of putrefaction, and said, in effect, that his condition was caused by the poison generated by the rotten toe. At the close of the evidence for plaintiff the trial judge, at the request of the defendants, directed a verdict for the defendants, and from a judgment responsive to this instruction, an appeal is prosecuted to this court."
