Yeah, I hope she just spit it out, but if she did swallow it, she certainly wasn’t thinking clearly.

[Jamestown1630]

I would never go to Mexico.

She noticed it didn’t have fizz and assumed it was simply flat, but quickly tasted what she believed was bleach.

But she didn’t quickly pick up on the distinct odor of bleach?

Why do people go on vacation to Third World shit holes?

I don’t think bleach would - in concentrations where the smell wouldn’t immediately bowl you over - make you vomit blood. But then I have never used the supposed lemon-scented bleaches. Pool bleach is pretty potent but again, how would someone cloak the odor? One whiff burns the eyes and nose.

I can see liquid plumber doing that, but not bleach.

[Why do people go on vacation to Third World shit holes?]

I can’t understand the appeal either, but my brother LOVES this place for some reason. I highly doubt these stories will change his mind from going again.

It could be something as simple as a maid dipping in to the beverages in the mini-bars, and then replacing the fluids with something off her cleaning cart.

I am not too confident that the local LEO are spending much time investigating.

[DiogenesLamp]

Sounds like we got another case of someone taking Democraps racist war against white people to heart.

That was my first thought too, then I recalled the first couple that made the news was a black couple.

But the further thought occurs to me that perhaps they were targeting the rooms, because they expected white people, and inadvertently got a black couple by mistake.

Your words, I just made the meme.

Free dinner and a massage? W00H00!

[Jewbacca]

“Jihadis?”

Doubtful. More likely, someone mad at tourististas.

Probably a female, if really a poison.

If I am right, she’ll get caught, spin a tale of being abused at the hands of white men, and end up a liberal icon — and get a book and movie deal.

[Jewbacca]

Fiji is probably Ciguatera and just a bad accident.

[plain talk]

Well at least she got upscale dinner reservations out of the deal. Yeah right. :-)

Why are people so trusting?

I don’t consider myself paranoid, or even fearful. Just cautious and deliberate at times. If I opened a bottle of soda and it was flat and didn’t fizz, the first thing I would do is smell it. If it didn’t smell bad I would only take a small taste. Not necessarily because I expect it to be poison, but if it’s flag I’m not expecting it to taste fresh. I would probably do that for something I took out of my own fridge, let alone being in a strange or new place.

[ETL]

"Hi, what is your poison"?

[TangoLimaSierra]

How about a promise of a free second stay...

And, half-price mini-bar.

[Red Badger]

May be a ‘cultural’ thing....................

[DoughtyOne]

Eh, maybe I’d skip the mini-Bar after that.

I generally try to anyway. The rates are ginourmous.

[Eddie01]

Do not go to the Dominican Republic.

Ever.

We have everything we need right here in America.

Including poison.

[MeganC]

Looks like ricin poisoning.
