Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
If there's a moral from this story, it's "always check the label."
Three restaurant customers in South Carolina were injured - one was in intensive care - when the sugar on the rim of their martini glasses was found to be not sugar at all but industrial fryer cleaner. Yikes. It seems that one of the new bartenders didn't know where the sugar was, so he asked a dishwasher that didn't speak much English. Not sure why the bartender didn't check the label before using the cleaner.
Another question: the martinis where dipped in sugar? Do they mean margaritas?
Update: Oh, that's right, margaritas have salt around the rim, not sugar. Sorry 'bout that. Thanks to the commenters who pointed that out.

Sounds terrible though! Makes me want to stick with beer.

7-20-2006 @9:49PM Someone who is pissed at some of these comments!!! said... This is my comment to Bonnie I do believe that if you were in the same situation you would not be such a dumbass about the whole ordeal......but I believe that this was a horrible thing to happen to ANYONE!!! An Bonnie if you would like I can make you a special peach martini an allow you to try it an I will see THEN if you know the difference between sugar an fryer cleaner.... but thank you very much for adding such a RUDE comment for the people that were in this situation to read an be upset by I am sure that if you were in the ICU that you would not like to get out an get online to read someone thinking and commenting that you did this to yourself, or you were drunk, or just that stupid not to know the difference....so to anyone that reads this an has a awful thing to say about the situation really needs to rethink about wat they put before they put it down.....bc this is a VERY serious situation when you SWALLOW a chemical or drink such a chemical that it could take a life very quickly an cause MANY INTERNAL damages to someone if they survive........
BEST WISHES TO THE PEOPLE THAT WERE INVOLVED AN HOPE THAT ALL GOES WELL FOR THEM
