Written by Pat's Papers | Thursday, 11 March 2010 11:36 AM

Ever wonder how to get a severed finger up to room temperature? Cook it, obviously. The San Jose Mercury News says the woman who went to jail for scamming Wendy’s by putting a human finger in a cup of chili reveals how she cooked up the scheme in a recent interview. The woman says she paid $100 for the ring finger; Wendy’s estimates they lost over $21 million in business over the fraud. The 41-year-old woman is now out of jail and says part of her parole includes a lifetime ban from the fast food chain.
