DELTONA, Fla. -- A convenience store worker has admitted urinating into a soda bottle, causing a customer who drank from it to become violently ill, his bosses say.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Publix officials confirmed to Local 6 News that an employee urinated in a Mountain Dew bottle and put it on the store shelves at the Publix-owned Pix convenience store located off Howland in Deland, Fla.
Publix Super Markets spokesman Dwaine Stevens said the accused employee was suspended after the company learned of the incident this week. An internal investigation is being completed.
Lab tests done by Publix on the contaminated Mountain Dew confirmed the soda contained urine, Stevens said. The supermarket giant owns the Pix chain.
"It is an isolated incident done by one of our associates," Stevens said. "Whatever measure is necessary, it will be executed and the employee will be dealt with."
Publix has not filed a criminal complaint but the option has not been ruled out, Stevens said.
The victim, a foreman with a Daytona Beach construction company, became suspicious of the drink after he chugged the beverage last week, his attorney, Daniel Newlin, said
"He vomited three or four times afterward," said Newlin, who did not release his client's name in order to protect the man's privacy.
Newlin said that upon the advice of an infectious-disease doctor, the victim was being tested for diseases such as gonorrhea and hepatitis C.
"We're hopeful that the person who did this wasn't carrying any sexual, or otherwise, virus that could cause him harm," Newlin said. "Unfortunately, the doctors were very concerned."
"Do you happen to have a Mountain Dew?"
"Urine luck."
That's quite funny. Wish I could come up with stuff like that this early in the morning...
Better than a "Mountain Dew Dew"
Oh contrair... this loser will end up in federal prison. Tampering with products is a felony ( remember tylenol?) The feds will come down on this guy hard to make an example out of him.

If that happenned to me, I'd be waiting for that wise citizen after work with my baseball bat in hand. When he returned to work the next day, he'd look like a badly bruised dreamsicle.
"Does have a little wang in it. Good, though."
One of my favorite all-time flicks!!!! VOOOOL-A-RE!!!!
Here's how it went. "Siiiip, ha ha ha haa haaaa, siiiippp, haha haha ha ha, hey this tastes funny."
When Dew came out in the 60s the bottles used to have the hillbilly on it with an outhouse in the background and another hillbilly running for it. The bottles had a number of different versions of "Bottled by..." on them. "Bottled by Clem", "Bottled by Jim", etc. All a joke back then and it went along with the color of the soda.
Maybe he thought he was swilling Wolf Whiz Ale..
I am sure Publix will agree with any charges the state will bring against this sicko freak.
Look up who you are talking about. It's been tried before.
Small is not a adjective I would use in the same sentence as Publix.
