A noodle seller in China’s Shaanxi province was arrested for seasoning his soup with powdered opium poppy to “make it taste better and to improve his business,” according to news reports.
From CNN:
The opium-laced noodles came to light after police stopped a vehicle driven by a 26-year-old man and tested him for drugs not long after he had consumed a bowl of the noodles.The man was detained for 15 days on charges of drug abuse and was not released until family members told police how they had also eaten at the same restaurant and tested positive for the drug.
