Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

Bug in fast food drink

I drank a soda from a national fast food chain, and after drinking it all I took the top off and found a bug in several pices. I started throwing up immediatly, and am having a hard time drinking anything that I do not make myself. They offered a refund of my drink, but I do not feel that is sufficant. If I ask for a small settlement, is there any chance of something?

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

You can certainly try and have nothing to lose. They may offer you a small settlement as "nuisance value". If you press for more, the going may get very tough.
