We've all heard that sort of urban legend in which girls bake cookies or brownies with Ex-lax or other laxative in order to sabotage some other girl's chances in a cheerleading tryout or perhaps just to be be mean.
Well, it's not just an urban legend. Apparently, a woman named Julie Hunt has been charged with helping her daughter and a couple of her teenaged friends pull this prank on their teacher in Skowhegan District in Maine. They crushed an entire box of Ex-lax pills and added to a batch of cookies.
The girls have been only suspended from school, but Hunt (the mother) has been charged.

The funniest occasion involved a romantic meal for two and a stolen Pizza...
I don't think they used Ex-Lax, but Optrex (Eye Drops), if ingested, is a devastating laxative!

Police: Students spiked high school teachers's drink with laxative
MAY 10--A quartet of Arkansas high school students is facing criminal charges for allegedly placing a laxative in an iced tea dispenser in their school's faculty lounge. After purchasing the laxative at Wal-Mart, Mark "Cowboy" Turner, 18, snuck into the lounge at Lakeside High School and placed it into the dispenser, which was then shaken by another prankster, 18-year-old Harry Keck, according to arrest reports, copies of which you'll find below. A couple of teachers who drank the tea following the May 3 senior class prank later complained of cramps, said Hot Springs police. Two other students, Bradley Parham, 18, and Jeffery Canterbury, 19, were also hit with a misdemeanor abuse of teacher rap. Investigators learned of the laxative assault after a Lakeside student found out about the spiking and told a school resource officer, said Corporal Chris Chapmond, a police spokesman. The four students are scheduled for a May 16 District Court hearing.
