The Tylenol Killer thing is 100% true, but food tampering went back even further. Ketchup use to be a dangerous condiment to eat due to the conditions of the factory it was made it, until H.J. Heinz came onto the scene and was like 'maybe the factories we make food in should be idk clean?' and then it wasn't so dangerous to eat. He literally helped pass the Pure Food and Safety Act which is still in use today. It's more about food preparation and serving it. The Tylenol Killer is the reason the FDA requires medications to be sealed. Back in the 80's, when the killings were happening, there was no safeguards to protect from tampering on medication.
Funnily enough the only spot that was never investigated about the Tylenol incident was the factory that made the batch of Tylenol. Every contaminated bottle of Tylenol was from the same batch. This Is Monsters did a vid on it iirc.
The Tylenol story always reminded me of this other story where a man had gotten ingredients for making candies for his store, and the kids that had gotten these candies began to get sick and die Because the ingredient he'd been given was mistaken as sugar when it was actually something that, well, poisoned people I was told about that story when I was young, and I don't really remember where it was, or when it happened
It sucks bad things have to happen in order for safeguards to be put in place 🤦♀ On the bright side these safe guards save people’s lives so anything bad that happened prior isn’t in vain.
As some who recently recovered terrible food poisoning that ended with me in the hospital, I wholeheartedly defend that there should be harsh punishment for food tampering.
After being a cook for Dairy Queen I literally cannot fathom why this lady did that.. At DQ we cook new fries every 15-20 minutes if it’s been sitting. We go through so much food that gets thrown away it’s so sad.
@@Fruity_maze1029 depends on your manager. i also worked at DQ and I made whatever I wanted to eat whenever as long the store owner wasn't working that night. we also cooked everything to order tho so not much waste.
My father told me when I was very young "You never mess with another mans food". Food is a necessity for everyone and some people don't have much of it. He found it akin to spitting in someone's face. No sympathy for people punished for this kind of crap.
Agreed. My daughter works at a fast food place and the last thing I want to hear from her is getting written-up or fired for anything as stupid as tampering with food. You’re a working class person feeding working class customers who just want to eat and fill that hole in their stomach.
No matter how rude a customer was to me, I would never spoil their food. I would be angry, sure, and I would talk to my manager about it, but assholes are getting more entitled everyday it seems. But no way would I mess with their food. I'd drop a small tracking device into their handbag or coat pocket to find our where they live. Then over a period of months, I would study their routines, learn about all their relationships socially and at work. Where their kids go to school. All the standard operational prep needed. Of course I would get my friend to hack into their computers and phones - I'm not a specialist in that field - and get access to all the checking and credit accounts. Build a complete target profile and then... when I'm good and ready I would strike. Yes... exactly what you were expecting. The most evil revenge of all. I would send EVERY Mormon missionary and Jehovah's Witness across the know universe to call on their door day and night. I can't tell you how I would achieve that last part, as it's a closely guarded secret and would be dangerous if it got into too many people's hands. Let's just say the NSA has nothing on the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and a few threats of a blood transfusion. Sadly, I no longer work in the food service industry, so my masterplan will never be unleashed BUT at least it is less digusting than fucking with another person's food. Instant damnation to hell for those people 😎
The fact that she has probably done this before without getting caught or her coworkers not saying anything is absolutely insane and I think the whole store needs to be investigated. If they did with fries they probably tamper with all the food.
Yea some people cannot grasp that food tampering is dangerous af. The tylenol cyanide incident is **the** quintessential example of "what you don't know can hurt you."
@@geraldyeager7652 iirc in like the 80s someone laced tylenol with cyanide then put it back on the shelf and it killed 7 people. thats why now medicine has those tamper proof seals and say do not consume if seal is broken etc
What I wanna know is how these people were able to tell that the fries were put in the trash. Could be a number of things ranging from temperature to the overall taste.
there was probably stuff on the fries from the trash can. bits of broken whopper, a moldy piece of tomato, maybe it got splashed with icecream from the broken machines
Hey look it's Charlie just posting another stream clip because his $10000 dollar an hour paying hobby I mean job was too much work for him today. This lady serving cold trash fries while Moist serves leftover cold trash content from stream, only difference is you people enjoy it when he feeds you.
If convicted, she could face up to 20 years in prison according to the website The State. And, the cherry on top of this woman’s abhorrent behavior is that Burger King’s headquarters were the ones to have reported her to the police. Usually the headquarters of huge companies prefer to pretend that the employees at lower levels don’t exist. This company not only acknowledged her existence, they’re looking to putting a stop to her existence as she knows it.
Well, that's certainly more time than a lot of rapists see. I'm not defending her actions, and I'm sure she won't spend more than a fraction of that time in jail, but handing down the same charge you would give to someone trying to poison your food with potassium cyanide seems extreme.
My dad was almost served a garbage sub at subway before. The worker accidentally dropped it in the trash and dug it out but noticed my dad was staring the whole time. I think people typically do this because of laziness. It's really sad that this stuff can happen and the people that do it, don't end up seeing any problem with it.
This is why I don’t eat fast food. The employees have no incentive to handle the food carefully since they aren’t paid well. It’s a gamble if your food is even safe to eat.
Nah I'm never eating subway again. Some other dude said they dropped a tomato and their manager said it was still good. And now this. It's so disgusting
she served customers (plural) fries from the trash; that isn't an accident, that's intentional. She didn't accidentally slip into the trashcan with the fry scoop then accidentally scoop fries into the container then accidentally give the trash fries to a customer, then accidentally do the exact same thing 20-30 times more times to other people, accidentally.
@@Cope.247 It’s obvious she’s not a good person. I wanted to know what exactly she was after. Also, I have no idea what you’re referring to by ‘Pearl.’
agreed! i always see things about "don't be rude, they might spit in your food!" like NO. you shouldn't be rude, but you should be polite without expecting retribution if you fail to do so
I was a kid during the whole Tylenol tampering scare. It happened at the height of the Satanic Panic, too, so not only did my parents make me throw away my Dungeons & Dragons stuff, but they also inspected my Halloween candy for pinhole/syringe marks (for people injecting cyanide or simply pushing needles into the candy). 👹 Crazy times.
Yea when I was younger my parents started checking my candy every year. Thought nothing of it when I was a child but now I’m grown and know why now yea that’s crazy that someone will tamper with food they give you.
@idefinitelytapped7396 Thing was that nobody had actually tampered with Halloween candy. It was Satanic fear mongering. Just like how the whole "bring your black cats inside on Halloween night because Satanists use them for sacrifices," thing still persists to this day. 🤪
my mom checked my halloween candy as well and i'm only in my 20s now, i think it may be just a common thing. she actually explained why and taught me and all my siblings how to, mostly so she didnt have to check 4 bags of candy lmao scary what people do.
i dont think you working in fast food would make you have some clue why she would do it. that shit is clear to everyone, its cuz shes disgusting person, in all ways possible
I also worked at McDonald's for a time and there were absolutely people cruel and awful enough to ALMOST-key word almost-deserve this. Treat people like garbage, eat garbage. I'm not saying it was okay or justified, but I am saying I've been bitched at for no reason working in fast food enough that I understand the temptation 🤷♀️
Before I learned of the cyanide in Tylenol case I just assumed tampering proof in things like pills were an always done common sense thing. Oh how naive I was
It is more about liability than security. Tylenol could care less about someone dying. But when they can be held accountable and it costs them money that is when they care.
I love how Charlie felt he had to explain the most obvious reason why food tampering is so bad and is a huge crime, “Because you can end up eating poison!!!” 😂 Can’t wait for our boy to explain why using needles from the biohazard containers is bad.
Remember the story about the office janitor who gave a bunch of people STD's? Incurable ones I might add, because he went around rubbing his testicles on water bottles, the water cooler ect. Basically anything that was food or drink related in the office and he did it on multiple occasions. I'd say castration is warranted in that case.

Ah, a person falling for a woman's cute lies, well done, do you want a trash cookie as you stare at the mirror to glance upon a failure of blood cells and DNA for seriously bringing that to the table?
I used to work third shift at gas station with a deli in my early 20s (I'm in my 30s now). I would prepare the biscuit sandwiches for the morning rush of people (and to overall help out first shift) and one morning, I burned a couple pans. I burned them because they would only keep two employees to man the entire store for third shift, so we got slammed and I had to help out my partner and I just forgot about them for a bit. I tossed them, but I knew how insane the first shift deli opener was, so I knew to hide them in the trash can. She was known to dig through the trash to see if anyone was being wasteful or to see what we had been doing during the night, like we were always up to no good or something, it never made any sense to me. That morning, she came in a little early, which made me and my co-worker nervous and like we suspected, she checked the trash cans. She found the bagged up biscuits under a pile of goop from the slushy machines that we had cleaned a few hours prior to her coming in and after berating me for being wasteful, she took them from the bags and those that weren't stained with slush, she served to the customers. We were horrified. I told the management that morning, but management just laughed about it and said, "Yeah, that sounds like her" and just left it alone. I wish I had done more and reached out to someone above that manager or called someone about it, but I was very young and scared of losing that god awful job.
My cousin had to threaten her manager at a Safeway (or some similar store chain) after a plate of cheese fell on the floor and he told them to scoop it up and plate it anyway. She asked him "before or after I call a health inspector?" He looked at her for a moment angrily before relenting and throwing it in the trash. She quit 3 weeks later, not sure if anything happened to the manager, most likely nothing. I wish people cared more about others.
I;m not gonna lie, you should have called the health department right then and there, in front of her, and let her deal with her mistakes. Management should have been fired if they did that.
It’s not just the Tylenol murders that caused a crackdown on food safety. There were several cases of poor food hygiene leading to deaths. There has been several outbreaks of E. coli from contaminated lettuce, an E. coli outbreak from contaminated apple juice, peanut corporation of America went down bc nine people died after contracting food poisoning from their products and there was an outbreak of thyrotoxicosis in Minnesota from a meat packaging plant that ground up thyroids into ground beef due to poor worker training. Also in a way mad cow disease was created through carelessness in cattle raising that was eventually used for food. So yeah food safety is absolutely HUGE
This is why I am always taken aback by people who send their food back while being rude. People will serve you out of a trash can before you even say anything. 😳
True,but then some people are arseholes that'll fuck with your food because it's an inconvenience to them making another portion...if I need to give my food back I usually go somewhere else instead of reordering
Hey look it's Charlie just posting another stream clip because his $10000 dollar an hour paying hobby I mean job was too much work for him today. This lady serving cold trash fries while Moist serves leftover cold trash content from stream, only difference is you people enjoy it when he feeds you.
Yeah that’s why I go out of my way to be as kind as possible to all the fast food workers. Even if they mess up the order more than once, it’s all good just do your best. Never be rude to the people who make your food. EVER. Unfortunately, this disgusting manager is an exception
If anyone is curious, the case Charlie is talking about happened twice: once in 1982. The second was Stella Nickell's and she was the first to be charged under the new product tampering laws. She'd only wanted to kill her husband (tl;dr: she was pissed she couldn't party anymore because he got sober and had taken out insurance on him. Something like $76k with an additional $100k for accidental death.) but tampered with extra bottles so it wouldn't seem immediately suspicious when she had cyanide laced Excedrin pills. Shockingly, she may have never actually been caught if she hadn't brought her husband's sudden death up to the police once OTHER people in the area died of poisoning and claimed that her husband had also taken pills. Because they re-examined her husband's body, they noticed the cyanide that killed him -- and others -- was mixed with an algaecide, because she mixed the cyanide in the same mortar and pestle to mix the cyanide into the capsules as she did the algaecide for her fish tank. Pretty (morbidly) fascinating cases both times.
When I worked at a restaurant, we nearly had one of our chefs fired and arrested for serving tainted food. He thankfully had solid proof that it was a one time honest mistake. Basically, the one time he missed a routine check was the one time we got dodgy food from the supplier, and the contamination was traced back to them. Thankfully nobody got sick and he got off with a warning, but you can bet he never made that mistake again. For somebody to do that on purpose is just insane, and they need to get a solid custodial sentence and a psych evaluation for shit like that.
Once had a kid lie about his private school dinners; he went online and made a complaint to the company I worked for and left a 1 star review on the schools website. The little shit was lying about kitchen staff in a £10k+ a year private school, saying they took food out of bins, and spat in it etc. The school threatened legal action and he took his review down pretty sharpish.
@anglepsycho2030 a private school. (High school students.) Guess he made an account and just added a review? I've heard some horror stories from company chefs though, so it's not unheard of that someone fucks with someone's food.
@@Fisthammet Yep. This sort of thing is really on a person by person basis on how trustworthy they are with other's food, regardless of how high up someone is in the restaurant's employee foodchain. Some are completely unwilling to fuck with food, and some just want to get things done the cheapest, laziest way possible. And this is the sort of problem that is really impossible to prevent because there just isn't the manpower to watch every single employee of every company simultaneously like a hawk as they make food. Just like how is someone really wants to kill you, they will find a way to do so, and there isn't much you can do to prevent it. If someone goes rogue and doesn't care or actively wants to mess up food, there isn't much that can be done to preemptively prevent it from happening. If I had to guess, this was either some personal revenge thing, some weird fetish, or the manager didn't want to get reprimanded for wasting french fries by the higher-up manager (who are almost universally notoriously completely unreasonable themselves when it comes to expectations about how a store should be run) and so started breaking the rules instead of actually running things properly to prevent the waste in the first place. Note: I've worked in fast food for years and worked at BK specifically for 2 years before.
@@ti-fiter agreed, it's no better or worse than McDonald's or Wendy's in my opinion. Though the price is higher, which is why I don't mind people clowning on it lol
I mean, can you blame him? One time when I went to Burger King the cleanest booth was one with ketchup on the seat and with a homeless man sleeping in the other seat and when they served my food the burger was dry and my fries tasted like sushi
as a food service worker, even if your passion isn’t in service of others, customer service and or food service but to hate it so much you feel the need to poison someone’s food is beyond me. i’ve had some bad days but jesus christ i’ve never tried to kill someone.
I work at a grocery store wharehouse and it has strengthened my fear of food tampering by 100%. Our food is touched by so many people before it reaches out fridge/cupboards. Anyone crazy enough could mess a lot things up working with food.
One of the theories about the Tylenol murders was that one of the victims was killed by there spouse and then the spouse poisoned a bunch of other people to throw police off.
That was the Pixie Stix killer's motive, he wanted to collect the insurance money on his son and gave out poisoned candy to neighborhood kids in hopes of throwing off the trail, believing he could use the urban legends of poisoned candy as cover.
I remember the Tylenol case... I was very young, but I do recall ALL of the Adults being completely freaked out, and they had spoke to us at School (I was in 1st grade) about how we need to make sure our Parents looked at our food, medicine, candy, soda... it was crazy for a while. It happened just outside of Chicago if I remember correctly
When we were kids there was a rumour that everyone just kinda accepted as truth that the BK near us would scoop up nuggets off the floor and put them back in the fryer. Starting to think now that was more than just a rumour especially since it shut down a few years later.
This reminds me of when I worked for Sonic Drive-In, and I was training a new guy on the deep frying station. I had thrown out a frostbitten bag of fries, but then the GM came over, saw the fries in the trash, then told me to serve them… in front of a trainee. Luckily I was able to humor him long enough to avoid using the trash can fries and dispose of them again after he left for the day. Not surprised to hear it happen at another business. One of the reasons I seldom eat fast food these days.
yeesh, at least it was in the bag but still, they were already potentially unfit to serve. But yeah there will be considerably worse cases out there which never get caught but still may be making people sick. Management really drinking the kool aid of the franchise owner/corporate culture, but that's why they're management.
4:19 similarly, when I worked at walmart, a guy came in and took a box of shoes from the shelf and tried to return them at customer service with a receipt he had found. The door greeter told customer service that the man didn't have the shoes when he came in and the guy threw a massive tantrum, insisting that he had brought them in before screaming at them "call the cops then." Cops were called, they ran the guys ID and found that he had a warrant and was promptly arrested
Burger kings fries are actually one of the two things that they have that are actually decent, the other being the royal chicken sandwich. Everything else on the menu is trash though
I was once at a Burger King (sorry) with my father. When I pinched a few of his fries as a joke one of the employees marched over and furiously asked me, "Did you just steal that gentleman's fries??" As if they couldn't tell whether I knew the man sitting with me or not...
My forensic class watched a documentary about these tampered Tylenol. A woman grounded something-something (I forgot but she intentionally tampered with some medicine that belonged to her husband, he died and she tried to get money from it) in a mortar and pestle which has been used to ground up aquarium pebbles. Because of this, detectives traced these funny blue pebbles to this woman.
The McDonald's I worked at did something similar, they aggressively forced me to serve spoiled food from a freezer that was shut down all day that I repeatedly brought up as a concern and fired me for addressing it with concern. Still have photographic evidence of the freezer temps not lining up with their required temperature, but I am unsure of how to bring out this information without fear of being put on a do not hire list in my entire county
The killer didn't lace the Tylenol with cyanide they emptied out the powdered medicine from the capsules and filled them with cyanide. (Edit) Removed the part about the capsules since people in the comments said they are still used for some over-the-counter medicines but for the most part in hard form not gel
Way to make a point that gives zero value and doesn't change the story at all, you absolute buffoon. You should have started your comment with "Well, Ackshually ... 🤓" Nerd.
One thing I've learned from this video is that I apparently have the lone Burger King in existence with good french fries. Best regular french fries in my entire town, and that's not a damnation of the other fries, they're just the best, soft, lightly salted potato shrapnel, if you don't want the pound of extra seasoning that comes with Five Guys fries.
Y’all heard everyone say BK fries are disgusting and didn’t think “My taste buds don’t work” but thought “The Burger King near me must be better than the rest.” They’re the same fries and people don’t think they’re nasty because they’re cooked wrong they just taste like shit.
Worked at Portillos and our GM served ribs from the trash, he got fired a few months later when one of the workers snitched on him. Guy was crying like a baby in the manager meeting, lost his $126k a year salary
One of my core memories is my dad telling me “you don’t mess with people’s food” after I did some nasty shit to my brother’s food. Never mess with food. Food is valuable.
Charlie at 6:50 : "You could maybe make a case for psychological damage, knowing you ate from the Burger King trash can". Burger King's Defense attorney: "You already had psychological damage! You proved it when you decided to eat at my client's establishment".
As many others whom have worked in the food industry have commented, as someone who worked both (cold and grill) kitchens at DQ, it would’ve literally taken her about 4 minutes give or take for a fresh batch of fries to be ready that this seems beyond willful and not at all an accident. I could see her argue that the customer was demanding the fries be ready right then and now, even after explaining that maybe there weren’t any ready made fries (I’ve seen my managers try to remain their calmest when demanding customer situations like that happen) but never, ever should you give out food that’s been in the trash or somewhere unsanitary!! This is like, literally the first thing that is taught when you’re hired for the job, even if you mainly work upfront with the customers! I swear it’s the same type of people that, after taking parenting classes that tell them to never under any circumstances shake a baby, they decide in their sleep deprived minds “I can definitely shake this baby to make it go to sleep, right?” lmfao
I work for a food distributor and there actually was a lot of french fry shortages, so, that's not impossible. Plants close down, suffer from labor shortages and supply chain issues. Even the packaging that the fries go in, could be shorted, in which case the manufacturer could not produce the end product for the distributors to then deliver to Burger King. I'm sure you realize this, but I can absolutely tell you that some of the nations top french fry providers (McCain Foods) did indeed experience shortages/delays in production.
It was with Gerber Baby food tampering and Deaths of Babies in the 70’s/80’s that lead to serious changes in the food industry and introduction of the tampering indicating lids. The Tampering of Tylenol was about a decade later.
Food tampering has occured since people began selling. Most of the time it's done to cut costs, like how Victorian bakers cut their bread flour with plaster of paris. The tylenol incident is notable because it introduced tamper-free packaging.
The first week at my highechool job, we had a crazy night and huge issues with our rice not being cooked correctly. After a ton of issues, we started closing up and threw away all the undercooked rice. But then someone came in to compain we made their food wrong. They had complained so many times before, and my manager was super done. Didnt want to tell them we had just thrown everything out and just took some rice from the very top in the middle of the batch, out of the garbage can. I really had no idea how terrible that was at the time.
Duuuude this reminds me of the time where I used to work at an indoor playground and we sold popcorn and the owners thought it was a good idea to just keep any leftover popcorn in the popcorn machine overnight and sell it the next day
I've worked in the restaurant industry for nearly a decade. I've never been in a scenario where serving someone shite food, or old food, is the easy thing to do
Most fast food places will just leave the fries in the warmer after they're "supposed" to be thrown out anyway, then serve them. This was just intentional 😂
I worked in a steak restaurant. An extremely rude customer sent their food back and wanted it replaced. The chef took a piece of steak, urinated over it, cooked it and had it served. Another place I worked someone dropped a tray of cooked chicken marylands on the floor. They were picked up and served. I don’t typically eat out at restaurants and definitely do not eat in the big fast food chain places.
This happened at my local burger King I've been eating from for 4 years heavily. I usually say thank you at the drive thru and show up frequently. A McDonald's is less than 100 yards away, and there's a Wendy's being constructed less than 100 yards away. Maybe this triad of burger franchises will motivate one another.
@@Johngamepleis yeah, unfortunately the same goes for every channel that has a big internet presence/fanbase like Charlie. I don’t know how UA-cam seems to be oblivious to it, or how more content creators haven’t spoken out about it.
When I saw people licking ice cream at supermarkets and putting it back, i was so glad we (I'm in Australia) have tamper-proof seals and tabs on our supermarket food!! Obviously it can be tampered with but you can see it clearly if it's been done, and know not to touch it if the tab or seal is broken.
This remimds me of the one time our HR lady made me and my co-workers dig fry cups out of the trash saying they were still good. Even after we told her we threw them away and that they were stained 💀 We snuck them out and threw them away cause fuck that. This was also at a Burger King.
I've ventured away from eating out last few years, mostly because I want to eat better, but one major perk is the fact that I don't have to worry about someone tainting my food w idk their bodily excretions or something. Lol. It takes a lot of trust to eat out.
In Australia we had a company named sizzler that had an all you can eat buffet, a few yrs ago on two occasions someone put rat poison pellets in the food and that is why we need the harshest of penalties for people who tamper with food, it starts with trash fries and ends with poisons 😬
I used to work at a Burger King when I was younger it was five minutes before closing someone came through the drive-thru and ordered a bunch of crap but at this point all the meat was already in the garbage we were getting ready to close so my manager goes into the garbage digs up the meat and make some Whoppers with it
this reminds me of the one hells kitchen episode where they just decided "shoot, i just tossed away the spaghetti that we needed, hold on guys let me clean it off and serve it" and even defended WHY she did by saying the heat killed off the germs and miraculously stayed when she was getting voted to be out
I work in fast food and personally have never tampered with peoples food but honestly some people deserve to have their food tampered with. Not often just the very rude people like karens or people that treat the workers like trash
Here in Australia there were incidents where people were going the local supermarkets to where the fresh fruits were and sticking razor blades hidden into apples and such. The lows people will stoop to, to fuck with peoples food.
This actually happened in my small town this is literally the first time anything interesting has happened in this area. Multiple people would have eaten these fries since although burger king is bad we don't have many restaurants, especially fast food restaurants and all of the ones around here do customers dirty. At first the people who reported it thought it was due to their race but nah this women was just hanice and doing it to all customers for like storage number reasons or something like that. I'm glad I don't eat their frys 😭 but now im wondering about other things I've eaten their.
Fear of being poisoned by others is such a natural human fear when it comes to having food prepared for you, that you don’t know you feel it so intensely till someone suggests that your food has been poisoned because it “looks off”, then you stop everything and analyse a nugget and proceed to do it to every nugget for at least a week. Maybe just never eat it again. And then you do. Until you’re told your drink has been poisoned.
Burger King in Australia (named Hungry Jacks since Burger King was taken here) is actually really good, like actually quality food and service which I’m sure sounds quite surprising
We as a collective humanity need to normalize harsh punishment and shaming to people who willingly tamper with other people's food.
And what better time to do it. Twitter is vanishing, so there will be no platform for the crazys to call us out
Omg Charlie commented on my recent video 😢
@@railworksamericayep
Not shaming but punishment is fine by me.
@@railworksamericaWhat's Twitter? You mean X? Cause only boomers call it Twitter anymore
I kid, of course. X is damn weird
Burger King food is already trash but taking that trash from the trashcan and giving it to people is unacceptable
God damn, these spam bots are quick💀
the trash probably made it better
As a Burger King employee, I endorse this statement.
Only in the US. In my region they are the healthiest burger makers.
Well as trash as McDonald's I would say
The Tylenol Killer thing is 100% true, but food tampering went back even further. Ketchup use to be a dangerous condiment to eat due to the conditions of the factory it was made it, until H.J. Heinz came onto the scene and was like 'maybe the factories we make food in should be idk clean?' and then it wasn't so dangerous to eat. He literally helped pass the Pure Food and Safety Act which is still in use today. It's more about food preparation and serving it. The Tylenol Killer is the reason the FDA requires medications to be sealed. Back in the 80's, when the killings were happening, there was no safeguards to protect from tampering on medication.
Makes sense it was in the 80's. Harder to do that today, and easier to track.
Funnily enough the only spot that was never investigated about the Tylenol incident was the factory that made the batch of Tylenol. Every contaminated bottle of Tylenol was from the same batch. This Is Monsters did a vid on it iirc.
The Tylenol story always reminded me of this other story where a man had gotten ingredients for making candies for his store, and the kids that had gotten these candies began to get sick and die
Because the ingredient he'd been given was mistaken as sugar when it was actually something that, well, poisoned people
I was told about that story when I was young, and I don't really remember where it was, or when it happened
It sucks bad things have to happen in order for safeguards to be put in place 🤦♀ On the bright side these safe guards save people’s lives so anything bad that happened prior isn’t in vain.
@@KrazyKeith4 I wondered if the factory was investigated. I'll watch that video. Thanks!
As some who recently recovered terrible food poisoning that ended with me in the hospital, I wholeheartedly defend that there should be harsh punishment for food tampering.
W...what did you do with you do with the poisoned food after you recovered it? Was it worth it getting in ER to recover it?
After being a cook for Dairy Queen I literally cannot fathom why this lady did that.. At DQ we cook new fries every 15-20 minutes if it’s been sitting. We go through so much food that gets thrown away it’s so sad.

It blows my mind workers at fast food can’t eat whatever they want on their lunch break. That food cost 2 cents to make with YALLS labor 😂
I always wondered why DQ food was always so good, didn't know that they literally serve constantly fresh food
My father told me when I was very young "You never mess with another mans food". Food is a necessity for everyone and some people don't have much of it. He found it akin to spitting in someone's face. No sympathy for people punished for this kind of crap.
exactly, bring them some shanghai punishment
Agreed. My daughter works at a fast food place and the last thing I want to hear from her is getting written-up or fired for anything as stupid as tampering with food.
You’re a working class person feeding working class customers who just want to eat and fill that hole in their stomach.
i mean it pretty much is, spitting in their mouth even, so even worse lol
No matter how rude a customer was to me, I would never spoil their food. I would be angry, sure, and I would talk to my manager about it, but assholes are getting more entitled everyday it seems. But no way would I mess with their food. I'd drop a small tracking device into their handbag or coat pocket to find our where they live. Then over a period of months, I would study their routines, learn about all their relationships socially and at work. Where their kids go to school. All the standard operational prep needed. Of course I would get my friend to hack into their computers and phones - I'm not a specialist in that field - and get access to all the checking and credit accounts. Build a complete target profile and then... when I'm good and ready I would strike. Yes... exactly what you were expecting. The most evil revenge of all. I would send EVERY Mormon missionary and Jehovah's Witness across the know universe to call on their door day and night. I can't tell you how I would achieve that last part, as it's a closely guarded secret and would be dangerous if it got into too many people's hands. Let's just say the NSA has nothing on the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and a few threats of a blood transfusion. Sadly, I no longer work in the food service industry, so my masterplan will never be unleashed BUT at least it is less digusting than fucking with another person's food. Instant damnation to hell for those people 😎

The fact that she has probably done this before without getting caught or her coworkers not saying anything is absolutely insane and I think the whole store needs to be investigated. If they did with fries they probably tamper with all the food.

They tasted better than the normal fries.

If convicted, she could face up to 20 years in prison according to the website The State. And, the cherry on top of this woman’s abhorrent behavior is that Burger King’s headquarters were the ones to have reported her to the police. Usually the headquarters of huge companies prefer to pretend that the employees at lower levels don’t exist. This company not only acknowledged her existence, they’re looking to putting a stop to her existence as she knows it.
Well, that's certainly more time than a lot of rapists see. I'm not defending her actions, and I'm sure she won't spend more than a fraction of that time in jail, but handing down the same charge you would give to someone trying to poison your food with potassium cyanide seems extreme.
I think the higher ups at BK are aware of their reputation and were hoping to try and improve it some?
My dad was almost served a garbage sub at subway before. The worker accidentally dropped it in the trash and dug it out but noticed my dad was staring the whole time. I think people typically do this because of laziness. It's really sad that this stuff can happen and the people that do it, don't end up seeing any problem with it.
This is why I don’t eat fast food. The employees have no incentive to handle the food carefully since they aren’t paid well. It’s a gamble if your food is even safe to eat.

Nah I'm never eating subway again. Some other dude said they dropped a tomato and their manager said it was still good. And now this. It's so disgusting
she served customers (plural) fries from the trash; that isn't an accident, that's intentional.
She didn't accidentally slip into the trashcan with the fry scoop then accidentally scoop fries into the container then accidentally give the trash fries to a customer, then accidentally do the exact same thing 20-30 times more times to other people, accidentally.

I used to work third shift at gas station with a deli in my early 20s (I'm in my 30s now). I would prepare the biscuit sandwiches for the morning rush of people (and to overall help out first shift) and one morning, I burned a couple pans. I burned them because they would only keep two employees to man the entire store for third shift, so we got slammed and I had to help out my partner and I just forgot about them for a bit. I tossed them, but I knew how insane the first shift deli opener was, so I knew to hide them in the trash can. She was known to dig through the trash to see if anyone was being wasteful or to see what we had been doing during the night, like we were always up to no good or something, it never made any sense to me. That morning, she came in a little early, which made me and my co-worker nervous and like we suspected, she checked the trash cans. She found the bagged up biscuits under a pile of goop from the slushy machines that we had cleaned a few hours prior to her coming in and after berating me for being wasteful, she took them from the bags and those that weren't stained with slush, she served to the customers. We were horrified. I told the management that morning, but management just laughed about it and said, "Yeah, that sounds like her" and just left it alone. I wish I had done more and reached out to someone above that manager or called someone about it, but I was very young and scared of losing that god awful job.

@@pannenkoekspek It's a Liberty gas station in Lily Kentucky. The woman who served the biscuits from the trash is dead now, I believe.

My cousin had to threaten her manager at a Safeway (or some similar store chain) after a plate of cheese fell on the floor and he told them to scoop it up and plate it anyway. She asked him "before or after I call a health inspector?" He looked at her for a moment angrily before relenting and throwing it in the trash. She quit 3 weeks later, not sure if anything happened to the manager, most likely nothing. I wish people cared more about others.
I;m not gonna lie, you should have called the health department right then and there, in front of her, and let her deal with her mistakes. Management should have been fired if they did that.
It’s not just the Tylenol murders that caused a crackdown on food safety. There were several cases of poor food hygiene leading to deaths. There has been several outbreaks of E. coli from contaminated lettuce, an E. coli outbreak from contaminated apple juice, peanut corporation of America went down bc nine people died after contracting food poisoning from their products and there was an outbreak of thyrotoxicosis in Minnesota from a meat packaging plant that ground up thyroids into ground beef due to poor worker training. Also in a way mad cow disease was created through carelessness in cattle raising that was eventually used for food. So yeah food safety is absolutely HUGE

If anyone is curious, the case Charlie is talking about happened twice: once in 1982. The second was Stella Nickell's and she was the first to be charged under the new product tampering laws. She'd only wanted to kill her husband (tl;dr: she was pissed she couldn't party anymore because he got sober and had taken out insurance on him. Something like $76k with an additional $100k for accidental death.) but tampered with extra bottles so it wouldn't seem immediately suspicious when she had cyanide laced Excedrin pills. Shockingly, she may have never actually been caught if she hadn't brought her husband's sudden death up to the police once OTHER people in the area died of poisoning and claimed that her husband had also taken pills. Because they re-examined her husband's body, they noticed the cyanide that killed him -- and others -- was mixed with an algaecide, because she mixed the cyanide in the same mortar and pestle to mix the cyanide into the capsules as she did the algaecide for her fish tank.
Pretty (morbidly) fascinating cases both times.
I remember seeing an episode of deadly women on her. Really fascinating case and some incredible detective work, the fish tank thing is just crazy.
@yesmom6630 and it suddenly stopped happening when divorce became more accessible
When I worked at a restaurant, we nearly had one of our chefs fired and arrested for serving tainted food. He thankfully had solid proof that it was a one time honest mistake. Basically, the one time he missed a routine check was the one time we got dodgy food from the supplier, and the contamination was traced back to them. Thankfully nobody got sick and he got off with a warning, but you can bet he never made that mistake again. For somebody to do that on purpose is just insane, and they need to get a solid custodial sentence and a psych evaluation for shit like that.
i once saw my manager at burger king argue with an employee about why he didnt use moldy cheese on a burger. thats barely the worst of it lmao
Once had a kid lie about his private school dinners; he went online and made a complaint to the company I worked for and left a 1 star review on the schools website. The little shit was lying about kitchen staff in a £10k+ a year private school, saying they took food out of bins, and spat in it etc.
The school threatened legal action and he took his review down pretty sharpish.
How the fuck did he even get to do that??? Was it a private college or something??
@anglepsycho2030 a private school. (High school students.)

I've heard some horror stories from company chefs though, so it's not unheard of that someone fucks with someone's food.
@@Fisthammet Yep. This sort of thing is really on a person by person basis on how trustworthy they are with other's food, regardless of how high up someone is in the restaurant's employee foodchain. Some are completely unwilling to fuck with food, and some just want to get things done the cheapest, laziest way possible. And this is the sort of problem that is really impossible to prevent because there just isn't the manpower to watch every single employee of every company simultaneously like a hawk as they make food.
Just like how is someone really wants to kill you, they will find a way to do so, and there isn't much you can do to prevent it. If someone goes rogue and doesn't care or actively wants to mess up food, there isn't much that can be done to preemptively prevent it from happening.
If I had to guess, this was either some personal revenge thing, some weird fetish, or the manager didn't want to get reprimanded for wasting french fries by the higher-up manager (who are almost universally notoriously completely unreasonable themselves when it comes to expectations about how a store should be run) and so started breaking the rules instead of actually running things properly to prevent the waste in the first place.

as a food service worker, even if your passion isn’t in service of others, customer service and or food service but to hate it so much you feel the need to poison someone’s food is beyond me. i’ve had some bad days but jesus christ i’ve never tried to kill someone.
I work at a grocery store wharehouse and it has strengthened my fear of food tampering by 100%. Our food is touched by so many people before it reaches out fridge/cupboards. Anyone crazy enough could mess a lot things up working with food.

As many others whom have worked in the food industry have commented, as someone who worked both (cold and grill) kitchens at DQ, it would’ve literally taken her about 4 minutes give or take for a fresh batch of fries to be ready that this seems beyond willful and not at all an accident. I could see her argue that the customer was demanding the fries be ready right then and now, even after explaining that maybe there weren’t any ready made fries (I’ve seen my managers try to remain their calmest when demanding customer situations like that happen) but never, ever should you give out food that’s been in the trash or somewhere unsanitary!! This is like, literally the first thing that is taught when you’re hired for the job, even if you mainly work upfront with the customers! I swear it’s the same type of people that, after taking parenting classes that tell them to never under any circumstances shake a baby, they decide in their sleep deprived minds “I can definitely shake this baby to make it go to sleep, right?” lmfao
I work for a food distributor and there actually was a lot of french fry shortages, so, that's not impossible. Plants close down, suffer from labor shortages and supply chain issues. Even the packaging that the fries go in, could be shorted, in which case the manufacturer could not produce the end product for the distributors to then deliver to Burger King. I'm sure you realize this, but I can absolutely tell you that some of the nations top french fry providers (McCain Foods) did indeed experience shortages/delays in production.

Food tampering has occured since people began selling. Most of the time it's done to cut costs, like how Victorian bakers cut their bread flour with plaster of paris. The tylenol incident is notable because it introduced tamper-free packaging.

They had complained so many times before, and my manager was super done.

I don’t typically eat out at restaurants and definitely do not eat in the big fast food chain places.
This happened at my local burger King I've been eating from for 4 years heavily. I usually say thank you at the drive thru and show up frequently. A McDonald's is less than 100 yards away, and there's a Wendy's being constructed less than 100 yards away. Maybe this triad of burger franchises will motivate one another.
I thought you were going to talk about Upton Sinclair and The Jungle and the FDA. Still got AP history drilled into my head 10+ years later!
Whoever asked about the fast food breakfast tier list deserves an award, honestly.
A.I invaded my 13 like comment, unfortunate.
@@Johngamepleis Do you know how hard it is to combat that amount of bots? This should be UA-cam's job.
@@Johngamepleis He’s probably tried to be honest, almost every big channel suffers from bots. UA-cam hasn’t seemed to do much for it either.
@@Johngamepleis yeah, unfortunately the same goes for every channel that has a big internet presence/fanbase like Charlie. I don’t know how UA-cam seems to be oblivious to it, or how more content creators haven’t spoken out about it.
When I saw people licking ice cream at supermarkets and putting it back, i was so glad we (I'm in Australia) have tamper-proof seals and tabs on our supermarket food!! Obviously it can be tampered with but you can see it clearly if it's been done, and know not to touch it if the tab or seal is broken.
This remimds me of the one time our HR lady made me and my co-workers dig fry cups out of the trash saying they were still good. Even after we told her we threw them away and that they were stained 💀
We snuck them out and threw them away cause fuck that. This was also at a Burger King.
Shame since BK fries are by far the best thing they have on their menu.
I miss Charlie’s stream highlight videos. PLEASE CONTINUE TO MAKE MORE!
They are all on Moist Charlie Clips channel now
Stream highlights are a scam.
I've ventured away from eating out last few years, mostly because I want to eat better, but one major perk is the fact that I don't have to worry about someone tainting my food w idk their bodily excretions or something. Lol. It takes a lot of trust to eat out.
food is so important for sooo many different reasons. i can't even imagine the trauma of your food being tampered with. even if it was burger king
I have a low tolerance for rude customers in my line of work, but the worst I’ve ever done is just charge them more.
Charlie may not be pregnant but he never fails to deliver
"What you in for?"
"Cold fries"
i've had food poisoning for the last couple days and felt like shit and its people like this that make this worse glad they were arrested
Surprised the customer could taste the difference
The bots have awoken my friend.
these bots wildin
Oh damn. Woke the Kraken
Ah yeah I watched the entirety of this video already. Recycling is new level of fries.
In Australia we had a company named sizzler that had an all you can eat buffet, a few yrs ago on two occasions someone put rat poison pellets in the food and that is why we need the harshest of penalties for people who tamper with food, it starts with trash fries and ends with poisons 😬
Couple years ago in Australia someone was putting small pin needs in strawberries. I still don’t buy strawberries now.
I used to work at a Burger King when I was younger it was five minutes before closing someone came through the drive-thru and ordered a bunch of crap but at this point all the meat was already in the garbage we were getting ready to close so my manager goes into the garbage digs up the meat and make some Whoppers with it
Imagine going to court and the judge is like “your guilty of serving Burger King fries out of a trash can!”
The jury: the meteorite shouldn’t have missed
Damn, 3 troll comments. What a comment section this is.
@@ALMOmakesmusic I guess I am the only non bot
Back in my home town, Tehachapi California. In the early 2000's a worker got fired for pooping in the refried beans and the local Taco Bell.
this reminds me of the one hells kitchen episode where they just decided "shoot, i just tossed away the spaghetti that we needed, hold on guys let me clean it off and serve it" and even defended WHY she did by saying the heat killed off the germs
and miraculously stayed when she was getting voted to be out
Imagine finding out out that you ate the fries from the trash
Omg Charlie commented on my recent video 😢
The most surprising development is that Burger King makes food that isn't already trash (allegedly)
This is a funny comment, hopefully the bot comments pushes it towards the top
I work in fast food and personally have never tampered with peoples food but honestly some people deserve to have their food tampered with. Not often just the very rude people like karens or people that treat the workers like trash
Here in Australia there were incidents where people were going the local supermarkets to where the fresh fruits were and sticking razor blades hidden into apples and such. The lows people will stoop to, to fuck with peoples food.
She took "recycling" to a whole new astronomical level
BOT
😂😂😂😂
This actually happened in my small town this is literally the first time anything interesting has happened in this area. Multiple people would have eaten these fries since although burger king is bad we don't have many restaurants, especially fast food restaurants and all of the ones around here do customers dirty. At first the people who reported it thought it was due to their race but nah this women was just hanice and doing it to all customers for like storage number reasons or something like that. I'm glad I don't eat their frys 😭 but now im wondering about other things I've eaten their.
Y'all have Dairi-o why the hell would anyone eat at BK
Fear of being poisoned by others is such a natural human fear when it comes to having food prepared for you, that you don’t know you feel it so intensely till someone suggests that your food has been poisoned because it “looks off”, then you stop everything and analyse a nugget and proceed to do it to every nugget for at least a week. Maybe just never eat it again.
And then you do. Until you’re told your drink has been poisoned.
From batch to bin to burger king, it’s CRAZY how she could just serve some second-hand trash food so casually.
Burger King in Australia (named Hungry Jacks since Burger King was taken here) is actually really good, like actually quality food and service which I’m sure sounds quite surprising
