Ladies and gents, we have a new frontrunner for the Darwin Awards.
I guess we should remove all those "Get out of the way!" signs from the fronts of steamrollers.

Sort of like people who vote Democrat; "This politician will raise your taxes sky high!" "Hey why are my taxes sky high?"

The way this was written, it sounded like the drink was MADE with cyanide rather than tampered with.

Police suspect someone laced the drink with cyanide before placing it on store shelves, and released footage taken from a surveillance camera of a man in his 20s or 30s in the hope the public could help identify him.Suspect described as a male, Asian, having a light build with very dark black hair, or possibly medium-dark black hair.

This is just too bizarre, they thought it was an advertising slogan?!? Do they routinely advertise products in Taiwan that are labeled "This will kill you, do not purchase?"
You find the most interesting articles to post!

Almost sounds like someone put cyanide in it AND a warning label on it. Maybe someone was trying to test it out to see how many people would drink it, anyway. (What a sicko).

Maybe it was for a popular TV show in Taiwan. Cue music - "smile, you're on candid camera" - aaaaaaachhhhhhhh! (Thud)
