Man Bought & Drank Mountain Dew Tainted With Employee's Urine
<snip>

DELTONA, Fla. -- A Central Florida man is worried that his health is in danger because someone put urine in his soda as a malicious prank. The man is still waiting for the results of numerous health tests.

Publix, the company that owns the store, admitted the soda they sold was contaminated. The victim bought the tainted soda at the Publix-owned Pix convenience store at the corner of Elkcam and Howland in Deltona. That is where a construction worker said he bought and drank part of a Mountain Dew that was actually filled with an employee's urine.

"Got about half way through it and noticed that something wasn't right. I started vomiting all over my truck, started vomiting all over in the parking lot. I just couldn't control it, just nonstop vomiting," the victim said.

The man, who Channel 9 has agreed not to identify, received very bad news Tuesday. He said tests done by Publix confirmed his worst fear.

"I did find out what was in the bottle. It tested positive for urine and I had to call them to find out. They wouldn't even call me to tell me what was in it," he said.

The man bought the drink about two weeks ago and at first didn't realize what was inside the bottle.

"I went back inside and the manager told me it was just bad syrup," he said.

But later, an employee at the store called the victim to say a disgruntled co-worker had tampered with at least one soda bottle.

"He went in the back. He opened the bottle, urinated in it, put the cap back on and put it back on the shelf," he explained.

3. He doesn't even get that
Darwin Awards are for shit you do intentionally. Drinking pee when you thought your drink was pure soda doesn't count.

Besides, Mountain Dew tastes like pee anyway.
