2 suspended in case of laxative-laced cupcakes
The State ^ | May. 19, 2010 | Noelle Phillips

Two Dutch Fork High School students have been suspended after 14 students and one teacher became sick after eating cupcakes made with laxatives.

The students brought the treats to school Monday.

School officials called the sheriff’s department to investigate after some became concerned the treats were made with an illegal substance. The sheriff’s department tested the cupcakes and found they included a natural fiber laxative, said Monique Mack, a spokesman for the Richland County Sheriff’s Department. No criminal charges were filed.

A “natural fiber laxitive” made people sick? GMAB. Yes, the offenders should have been punished but I don’t think Metamucil would make one “sick”.

Some guys did this to my college roommate. He would eat anything, as long as it was free. So they gave him a chocolate bar, which he ate without even looking at it. It was a whole bar of Ex-Lax, containing 4 1/2 times the normal dosage. The next day, he was given a standing ovation in the student center as he headed, quickly, toward the men’s room.

RE :” ..a natural fiber laxative”

WOW. That sounds scary. Maybe it will be a Lifetime channel movie story someday.

When I was a kid, my Dad had a problem with someone stealing his lunch at work. My Mom made some cookies with Ex-Lax and put them in his lunch. His lunch never got stolen again ; )

Yeah, and it’s a load of crap, if you ask me.

You got that right! It's like putting phenalthaline(sp?) in some guy's beer so you can move in on his date ... twenty minutes and the rest of the guy's night is spent in the loo. I never trusted Chemistry majors in College.

I have to admit I did this one time. We had a community refrigerator at work, and almost everyday my lunch would disappear.

Getting tired of starving because of a lousy theif, I did the chocolate cupcake laced with ex-lax thing.

Never did find out exactly who the thief was....but my lunch never disappeared again! ;-)

If this story is true, the Taco Bell should be a felony.

Sometimes you don’t need to add anything to make it work. In the late 60s I was a restaurant cook and we frequently had sodas or milkshakes nearby to stay cool in the kitchen heat. One guy who worked with us had the bad habit of grabbing someone else’s shake and sipping rather than buying his own. One evening we all started snickering, smiling and staring at him after he had finished half of someone’s shake. He demanded that we tell him what was going on and one guy took out a half-used chocolate ex-lax bar and we all started laughing and asked if the chocolate shake was good. We told him to not hesitate if he felt any twinge during the shift. Now we had put nothing into the shake but the power of suggestion kicked in and he spent most of the rest of the shift running to the restroom and cursing us.

Before I learned how to make meatloaf, I tried to mkae a meat loaf but had no ‘filler’ handy, so I used ‘All Bran’. Thing cooked into a hockey puck! Since then I’ve learned to use stove-top stuffing in the meatloaf. I make a killer turkey meatloaf, with green peppers, onions ... I better stop. This is making me hungry. Meatloaf for supper!

14 students and one teacher became sick after eating cupcakes made with laxatives

When asked if they enjoyed the cupcakes, they replied:
"They were pretty sh@tty".
