The theory is the lettuce was washed in water with pollywogs in it and this one "hatched".
I went to http://www.truthorfiction.com/ and this is what they said: The Frog in the Salad-Unproven! "The eRumor is accompanied by a picture of pre-packaged lettuce and asks you to look closely at the product. Inside the bag amid the lettuce leaves is what appears to be a live green frog. The packaging is in Spanish and the eRumor says it's a bag of lettuce from Mexico. The Truth: The picture is one of a product distributed by the Florette Company. It is located in Europe and does not distribute to North, Central, or South America but the packaging is in Spanish, so it may have been directed toward Spain. The label says "Canonigos" then "Fresco, Lavado." Canonigos means "Lambs Lettuce" and the remaining words mean that it is fresh and washed. Still, there has been a surprising number of reports of frogs in salads. If they are true, the theory is that the combination of moisture, vegetation, and the air in the package could sustain the life of a trapped frog..A telecast on WMAQ-TV in Chicago told of a woman in Arco Trento, Italy who opened a package of lettuce at home and a live frog hopped out."
All I know is I'm very freaked out about this even if it is false... I don't like bagged salad to begin with and now... I think I'll just buy a head of lettuce thanks!
