Do you think the Wendy's finger case is a hoax or do you think the finger accidentally ended up in the chili?

Asked in Downtown Mountain View. Pictures and interviews by Allison Gerard.

"I think it's a hoax and they (Wendy's) are going to be in all kinds of trouble because they can't collect money from the women making the accusations."

Steve Lancaster, MountainView
"I think it's a hoax. She (the person who found the finger) seems to have a history of hoaxes and it seems impossible that the finger could go through the whole chain of production."

Gloria McGahey, Wisconsin
"I think it's probably a hoax. The lady has a history of false accusations and it seems so strange that someone would lose a finger and not know it."

Allyson Rosen, Mountain View
"I just can't imagine someone cutting off a finger and deliberately placing it."

Janis Wright, San Jose
