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”.
This story is running all over the place.
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.
Oh that's just not right.
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.
When asked if they enjoyed the cupcakes, they replied:
"They were pretty sh@tty".
