The doctor said that out of three ice creams he had ordered, one was a Yummo brand’s butterscotch ice cream. After eating half of the ice cream, he felt a solid piece in his mouth. “I thought it could be a nut or a chocolate piece, but still spat it out to check what it was,” said Dr. Serraro.
Being a doctor himself, Serraro was able to identify the strange ‘ingredient.’ “When I carefully examined it, I noticed the nails and fingerprint impressions under it. It resembled a thumb. I am traumatised,” he said, as quoted by NDTV.
