I found a USB stick in a normal sausage: At first I thought the USB stick had accidentally got into the food until I checked its contents.

Yesterday I bought a pack of ordinary sausages in the supermarket – nothing special, just quick for a few sandwiches.

When I got home, I cut off something, ate a few pieces and put the rest in the fridge. Everything seemed perfectly normal.

Now I'm torn whether to turn on the police and have them determined, or just give up the matter and try to forget it. Either way, I know one thing for sure: I will never see purchased sausage with the same eyes again.
