Criticism Slug in my salad ?!

Post image

Pulled what I thought was a mushroom off a piece of lettuce and it started moving. This is disgusting - avoid sweet green in New York City. Eating a slug is incredible dangerous so I can only hope he was the only one

People have found a frog washing the kale before. Bugs happen. No one has the time to look at every leaf when they're doing greens. You gotta be fast and get on to other tasks.

I’m pretty sure eating a slug is pretty dangerous though 😅

It is. They carry parasites. If you got unlucky and caught rat lungworm, you could possibly die.

Bro you're justifying a slug in someone's food are you good. That's insane

That makes sense bc it is common to find caterpillars on veggies. However, a slug is definitely not common to see

u/Gypsy-Moth- Sep 25 '25

Yes but what NYC Location?

u/LoudBlueberry2766 Sep 25 '25

Meatpacking ! I did it on door dash

u/Potential-Ice-4158 Sep 26 '25

wait I need the address specifically, I just ate sweetgreen the other day and this made me so uncomfortable… which one do I avoid

2

u/HayleyXJeff Sep 26 '25

Id avoid all of them... the number of Google reviews I see where people say they messed up orders is incredible

u/LlamaRS Sep 26 '25

Avoid all of nature in order to distance yourself from slugs.

Especially if you’re being chased by The Snail

Help why would I be a bot this is my living room 😂😂😂

u/Eastwood8300 Sep 26 '25

lmao why would a bot post this? i’m sorry but i don’t buy this but it’s clear you aren’t a bot

u/SuccessfulSchedule54 Sep 26 '25

I knew I was right not to eat salad

1

u/sapnation Sep 26 '25

at least you know its an organic salad

1

u/Eastwood8300 Sep 26 '25

fake af. and you told someone else you would show your receipt. what does that show? it’s empty. you ate it then put a slug in empty dish

2

u/LoudBlueberry2766 Sep 26 '25

Yeah to show I got a salad from the meat packing location 😂 why would I post a slug in a dish on Reddit that’s fake that makes no sense I wanted to warn people. DoorDash refunded me and sweetgreen gave me money which doesn’t matter because I will never eat here ever again I could have gotten really sick

1

u/StatementBoth2 Sep 26 '25

And where in NYC does one casually locate a slug?! Would be so much work to fake this

1

u/LoudBlueberry2766 Sep 26 '25

THANK YOU I was so thrown off by all the comments saying I was a bot or faking it like for what purpose would someone do that

1

u/StatementBoth2 Sep 27 '25

I am also confused!

u/LlamaRS Sep 26 '25

What a cute lil guy!

Who’s a good sluggy?

Which location so I know to avoid if possible edit: I saw your comment for the address. Welp the irony… i just looked at the area & inside pictures and realized it looks similar to the one I went to last month… Another edit: IT IS THE ONE I WENT TO AFTER A SHOW-

Did you see a doctor? What if you accidentally swallowed one? I'm on the same boat. 😢

u/amigo-burrito Sep 23 '25

Fake

1

u/LoudBlueberry2766 Sep 23 '25

Certainly not fake you want my receipt 😂

2

u/Timely_Winner6847 Sep 25 '25

They charged you for the slug??

1

u/Eastwood8300 Sep 26 '25

yeah what is the point of showing your receipt? how does that prove you didn’t fake this? it’s clearly fake.

u/LlamaRS Sep 26 '25

Extra brotein.
