    The weird thing is that they're saying it was contaminated during prep? So the shrimp wasn't exposed in the environment, it was during processing?

    Why does the processing plant have Cesium?

    Walmart has had Halloween decorations out on shelves for a few weeks now. If the marketing department had so much as a shred of creativity, they could have spun this as being a promotional stunt for the new Beetlejuice 4K DVD Bluray and Digital Download box set featuring Beetlejuice and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice as well as director's commentary, deleted scenes, and 3 full hours of the shrimp scene on repeat.
