Founded in 1854, Louis Vuitton is has become one of the most recognisable brands with its iconic LV monogram and logo known the world over as a symbol of prestige and wealth.
The logo was introduced early last century to prevent counterfeiting of the company's products. Ironically it's now the most counterfeited brand in fashion history.
Fake Louis Vuitton handbags and other fashion items are commonplace, however as these pictures show the famous LV logo has been used to brand just about anything!

Unexpected Fast Food

August 7th 2009 12:50
Sometimes take away burgers, fries and even ice creams come with more than what you asked for. When this happens, the consequences can be severe for all parties. Thanks to TruTV.com, here are some cases of fast food gone wrong.


Marijuana in a burger
Special sauce, and a little something extra
Two New Mexico police officers didn't exactly have it their way after two Burger King employees allegedly served up their Whoppers with an extra ingredient a sprinkling of marijuana. Mark Landavazo and Henry Gabaldon said they ate half the burgers on Oct. 8, 2006, before discovering the substance, which they confirmed with a field test kit. They later sued Burger King Corp. over the incident.


finger found in food
Frozen Finger
In May 2005, Clarence Stowers of Wilmington, N.C., inadvertently bit into a human fingertip in his pint of Kohl's frozen chocolate custard. Stowers said he put the fingertip in his mouth because "I thought it was candy because they put candy in your ice cream ... to make it a treat." Officials later said the fingertip was from a Kohl's employee, who had been injured in a food-processing machine accident. Stowers says he's planning to file a suit, and is keeping the finger in his freezer in the meantime.


spit into burger
Special Value Meal
Jacqueline Rowland and Jon McQuater, employees at a Burger King in Oxford Township, Mich., were charged with food tampering after McQuater allegedly spit into a police officer's chicken sandwich. On June 4, 2004, Deputy Steve Clark pulled into the Burger King drive-thru and ordered a "special value meal consisting of a chicken sandwich, no lettuce." When the sandwich was served, he realized it had been repackaged and quickly discovered the tampering. Clark later determined that McQuater had spit inside the sandwich as "a joke," and Rowland then served it. If convicted, they face four years in prison and a $10,000 fine.


fast food law suit
Print Analysis
David Scheiding knew something wasn't right with his Arby's chicken sandwich when he discovered what appeared to be a piece of human flesh. "It looked like I was seeing fingerprints on it," he said. "I got sick and went to the bathroom." Health investigators spoke to the restaurant manager, who said he'd sliced skin from his thumb while shredding lettuce. On April 1, 2005, Scheiding filed a $50,000 lawsuit against GZK Inc., which owns the Arby's where the sandwich was purchased.


fast food set up law suits
Finger Food
Anna Ayala claimed she bit into a human fingertip in a bowl of chili she purchased at a Wendy's in San Jose, Calif., in March 2005. During the investigation, health officials checked to ensure that the digits of all Wendy's employees were present and accounted for. Ayala and her husband later admitted planting the finger; Ayala was sentenced to nine years in prison, and her husband was sentenced to 12 years.

Do you all know what a turducken is? Basically it's a partially de-boned turkey stuffed with a de-boned duck, which itself is stuffed with a small de-boned chicken. The cavity of the chicken and the rest of the gaps are stuffed, sometimes with a highly seasoned breadcrumb mixture or sausage meat.
