Cracker Barrel has been vindicated.

A month ago, on Mother’s Day (actually the day before), a woman in Virginia claimed that she had found a mouse in her soup at a Cracker Barrel restaurant. She stated that she found the mouse after eating some of the soup. She subsequently went to the company, and offered an admission of guilt and pictures of the mouse for $500,000. (Story from The Virginian-Pilot)

The authorities were called, and the company set up a meeting with the woman and her son. She was arrested and charged with extortion and conspiracy to commit a felony.

The Cracker Barrel folks were pretty comfortable, though. They had already performed a mouse autopsy.

Hopefully, the blogverse will be publishing retractions to the thousands of posts that this generated.
