Poisoned Twix bars from Tesco
This is the story a British man severely poisoned by a Twix chocolate bar, as he felt his life slipping away from him he saw the helpless innocent children dying due to this most deadly chocolate. The sad saga escalates as Tesco is slow to withdraw the terrible Twix from the shelves of death and the guilty party starts using threats and coercion.
The incredible incident began brewing on the evening of Friday May the 10th 2002 when I purchased my groceries at Tesco Rama 3, this was my regular shopping haunt as I had moved into a new condominium based partly on the fact that it was located conveniently close to Tesco.
When I was at the checkout I noticed a chocolate display that had my all time favorite since childhood – a good ole Twix bar. Twix bars were often of poor quality in Bangkok most often probably due to heat exposure, in 7-11 the chocolate often shows evidence of melting and re-solidifying subsequent to manufacture. The packaging on the Twix seemed fresh and shiny and I had already picked up a dozen cartons of soy milk and knew that they did indeed complement each other nicely for a midnight snack.
As midnight approached it was time for my snack and I got my Vitamilk and Twix from the fridge and reclined in my armchair to enjoy my supper. I took a bite of the Twix and started chewing, seconds later a pungent aromatic organic smell filled my nasal cavities and surprised me – something was obviously wrong. I ran to the bathroom to wash out my mouth and felt nauseous, fearing that I would pass out I returned to my seat to regain my senses. It was very puzzling indeed, as I thought frantically how on earth could they smell like benzene I started to feel my chest going tight and started to asphyxiate, I could breath in but not out. Even though something was seriously wrong with the Twix I was helpless, I could feel myself blacking out and thought that I was dying, as the light faded I said my prayers, I prayed for justice and prayed for mankind.
Hours later I regained consciousness, I pinched myself to perform a reality check and felt a sigh of relief – I had survived. I could hardly believe what had happened, I smelt the Twix wrapper but there was nothing suspicious. I decided to taste a tiny bit of the Twix chocolate to discover whether or not it was at fault, after sampling a tiny piece in the bathroom and getting that tell tale smell again it was plainly clear that my chocolate had definitely been adulterated. I washed my mouth out thoroughly and as I was still feeling light-headed went to lie down.
