Two Domino's Pizza employees in North Carolina face felony charges after a video showed them passing gas on salami, stuffing cheese up their nostrils - then using the foul fixins' in the fast food.
The silly-yet-stomach-turning clips - which also showed the workers sneezing and blowing their noses on meals they were handling - were filmed at a Conover, N.C., Domino's and posted on YouTube.
Kristy Lynn Hammonds, 31, and Michael Anthony Setzer, 32, have each been charged with distributing prohibited foods - the same North Carolina statute that forbids any tampering with
Halloween candy, police said.
The pair, who called themselves "Michael" and "Kristy," were fired immediately after the video surfaced and turned themselves in to police Wednesday.
Setzer was later released under $7,500 bond, while Hammonds remained in jail under a similar bond. Both reportedly have court dates set for Thursday.
Domino's apologized for the actions of "Michael" and "Kristy" and said the videos marred "the hard work performed by the 125,000 men and women working for Domino's" in the United States and all over the world.
The company also said it plans to file a civil lawsuit against the pranksters.
