OTTUMWA, Iowa (AP) — Police are investigating an Iowa couple’s report that they found marijuana among the layers on their double cheeseburgers.

The couple told police that they bought the burgers at a McDonald’s drive-thru in Ottumwa on April 26. Ottumwa Police Lt. Jason Bell said they reported that, after taking at least a bite each, they noticed plant material that smelled and looked like pot.

The two told restaurant management about what they found and then contacted Ottumwa police. A sample of the substance has been sent to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation for testing.

Restaurant managers have declined to comment.

7. You guys are so funny.

I have never been lucky enough to get a pot burger but it sounds like an idea that might go over well. Certainly would make the afternoon at work go a lot better.

10. I'm forwarding this to the folks at Cracker Jack

In 2013, Frito-Lay announced that Cracker Jack would undergo a slight reformulating, adding more peanuts to Cracker Jack and updating the prizes to make them more relevant to the times.

11. Scam artists trying to make a quick buck

Most of these people who "find" stuff in their food are scammers and have a history of doing it.

Why would anyone waste giving pot to strangers on their burger?
