    Do be careful. In the US (and I’d imagine must of Europe, but don’t know) it is illegal to boobytrap. Which (again US) has been upheld up include putting knowing harmful ingredients in food you expected to get stolen. Spicy food you intend to eat yourself is fine, but spicy food you don’t intend to eat yourself may go over the line.

      How is spicy food a boobytrap?

      Also, as much as I dislike spicy food myself, how is it harmful? Are all Mexican restaurants illegal?

      of course id only bring food that i intend to eat,
      im far to gluttonous to waste food on a prank.

      i just naturally eat food that is far more spicy than what my coworkers could handle.

      For someone to actually be harmed from biting into soap, they’d have to actually swallow it. I’d think nobody in their right mind would actually swallow soap, unless by chance they don’t have a sense of taste and smell.
