A TikTok post from an Ohio woman showing several weed buds found in her daughter's Burger King order has gone viral. The user, JannaBama, says she bought her daughter’s chicken fries at a drive-thru Sunday night at the Burger King in Hamilton. Once home, she unpacked the food order and found what looked like enough weed buds for several joints.
"I went to Burger King tonight. I got my kid some chicken fries,” she began on the video. “Listen, I need you guys to listen." She then held up the small empty bag where the chicken fries were packed and turned around to show the inside. "If you look in there, you can see some residue."
“She got her chicken fries,” JannaBama said moving her camera down to show several cannabis buds in a plate. “Chicken fries with a side of, do you see that? You can’t say that on here… (TikTok). Mary Jane, from Burger King in Hamilton, Ohio.”

Authorities Respond
“We contacted the Franchisee of this restaurant immediately upon learning of this incident and can confirm that the employee in question has been terminated,” a Burger King spokesperson told local media outlets. “We were very disappointed to learn of the incident and do not take incidents that put our guests in danger lightly.”
Hamilton police Sgt. Brian Ungerbuehler told Cincinnati.com in an email that while no formal reports were made to the department, its officers are "actively investigating," the incident, adding that more information will be released once it becomes available.
