The headline on this one is “Tossed Salad Leads To Littering Fine”. Perhaps I’ve been back in California too long.

EASTON, Pa. — A tossed salad is costing Dawn Higgins more than $173.

She was ticketed for littering and ordered to pay the fine when she didn’t show up for her court date.Higgins appealed, arguing lettuce is biodegradable and not trash. But the Northampton County, Pa., Common Pleas Court wasn’t convinced. She was ordered to pay up.Higgins’ lawyer said it’s probably the most expensive McDonald’s salad ever.
