Thanksgiving 911: My Dog is Stuck Inside the Turkey!

Calls to the Butterball Turkey Talk-Line have been bizarre and hilarious over the years

Butterball's Turkey Talk-Line is famous for helping hapless cooks on Thanksgiving, but Snopes.com says some of the hotline calls have been downright strange.

Weird cases include:

  • A pet chihuahua stuck inside the turkey
  • A man who wanted to know how to carve his turkey with a chainsaw
  • People who thawed their turkey in a bathtub while washing their kids
  • Kids who put toy cars inside the turkey before it was roasted
  • A woman who cooked her five-pound turkey for 24 hours
