How TF is this not legal? It’s meant to be your own food. If you want to eat soap, then no-one should be able to tell you otherwise.

Because it is food poisoning. Yes, them stealing food is illegal but so is poisoning food knowing someone will eat it. This is not one of those situations where one person is wrong so the other must be right. This is one of those situations where both people are assholes.

I beg to differ. Food thief is the significantly bigger asshole.

That may be so, but booby-trapping is explicitly illegal in many countries because it basically means an intention to harm somebody else without caring about who the person might be.

Soap isn’t poison unless you keep eating it.

I guess depends on how they define “poison” in the legal sense. I know that most soaps aren’t toxic unless you have it regularly for a while. But I would argue the same for most fast food.

True. Poison may not be the right word. Food tampering my be more accurate.

Because your intentionally tampering with food which is felony. You get a 15 second laugh, and then the person you pranked can turn around and get you sent a prison for up to 15 years and $10,000 in fines.

Sure, they deserved it, but it ain’t worth going to prison over.

Edit: Okay, am I getting downvoted because I’m wrong, or because you guys just don’t like the answer?
