Horrified Woman Claims She Found A Frog In Her Cheesecake Factory Mashed Potatoes

Horrified Woman Claims She Found A Frog In Her Cheesecake Factory Mashed Potatoes

We've all experienced that moment when you find a hair--or God forbid, something worse--in our food. But what a Florida TikToker found in her Cheesecake Factory mashed potatoes takes things to a whole new horrifying level.

If you are in any way squeamish, this is NOT the story for you.


A TikToker named Bethany got all the way to the end of her takeout meal to find what she thought might be a frog--as in, a jumping, ribbiting frog--and the videos she's made documenting the situation are a downright nightmare.

The first video Bethany posted shows the moment when she got to the end of her Cheesecake Factory mashed potatoes and found a huge, rubbery lump in the bottom of the container.

She poked it with her fork, trying to break it apart, but that proved futile because it was, as she described it, "indestructible."

She then rinsed it off in the sink to get a better look, and as she put it:

"I deada** think this is a baby frog."

If you're not entirely skeeved out yet, don't worry it gets worse. Unable to figure out what in God's name was in her food on her own, Bethany enlisted the help of some professors at the University of Florida, where she is a student.


What a scientist found didn't seem to be frog but rather a giant lump of black mold--you know, the stuff that grows in flood-damaged buildings and can, like, kill you? Not a great thing to have in your food!

Anyway, the scientist Bethany spoke with couldn't confirm whether it was black mold, pending additional testing. But there's been a new chapter in this saga that seems to bear out the black mold theory.


Bethany is experiencing symptoms, like a sore and extremely inflamed throat, that are consistent with having ingested black mold.

Naturally, people on TikTok are freaking out about this story.

In a statement to the Daily Dot, Cheesecake Factory said it had been in touch with Bethany and it was "very concerned to hear of this incident." Seems likely there will be several more chapters to this saga before it's over.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
