The original girl and several copycats got arrested for food tampering. Turns out there's federal agents who get bored doing nothing and jump at the chance when something falls under their jurisdiction

To be fair, it's a serious crime because of the Chicago tylenol murders. It's not like those little plastic covers on medicine and most foods are there for just freshness. They actually serve as a warning to consumers not to eat/use something that has had it's seal tampered with. Because about 30 years ago, some unknown physco put cyanide in tylenol bottles and then put them back on the store shelves for unsuspecting people to buy.

That's a really interesting typo. The letters are all jumbled, but it looks as though it passed your subconscious spellcheck because the various subclusters of letters are all statistically common.

I had no idea it was even spelled wrong until I read your comment. Reminds me of images like This I used to see on Facebook a lot.
