In what can only be described as the most idiotic of idiotic pranks, three fast food workers from Texas were arrested after serving a kid a burger laced with an ecstasy tablet.
As the story goes, some parents ordered a family meal at the Sonic Drive-In, only to find a dodgy disco nugget lodged in their four year old son’s burger. Naturally both kids mistook the pill for candy (that’s ‘lolly’ for us Antipodean folk), but their potential ex-raver parents knew it was no sweetie.
Instead of taking it home and saving it for a random evening’s trip down memory lane, the parents turned it into the police, who following an investigation arrested three Sonic Drive-In employees.
“[The girl] actually asked her parents, ‘Is this candy?'” Police Chief Henry Fluck (yes, Fluck) said. “Of course when they came to the police department, they were very upset, and we understand why.”
Perhaps it was just a prank gone awry and the dumbass employees got the wrong burger? In any case, you don’t want to mess around with (ermahgerd) drugs in the southern states: Under Texas law, peeps in possession of less than one gram of ecstasy can face charges that include a maximum of a $10,000 fine and two years in jail. Yikes.
