Woman Accuses Texas Restaurant of Poisoning Sandwich With ‘Benadryl’ Because She Felt ‘Dizzy’: ‘Almost Made Me Pass Out’

A woman treated herself to a sandwich at a Texas restaurant but returned shortly after to accuse the waiter of drugging her food. A woman who has yet to be identified visited the Howdy Child eatery in San Antonio, Texas. She ordered a sandwich to go and shortly after, returned with it half eaten. Bringing out her phone, she began recording as she questioned the man who had served her. 

“Hi, I just had a sandwich from your place. I only had half of it. And I feel, like, dizzy. Like there’s something in it, like Benadryl or something,” the woman said in the video posted on Reddit.

She then proceeded to ask the server to direct her to whom she can speak if “someone puts a drug in your sandwich.” The server replied, saying he wouldn’t know who to direct her to because it was not a regular occurrence. 

After pausing to take a picture of the half-eaten sandwich, the Texas lady then asked the server to call 911, saying that she wouldn’t want anyone to “get hurt.” The young man who served her agreed to her request and suggested that they call a security guard first. 

Soon enough, San Antonio police officers showed up to the scene, and the woman proceeded to show them the server who made her sandwich. She further reiterated her symptoms to the police, saying that as soon as she had the sandwich, her heart “started to accelerate” and she became light-headed. The customer concluded by saying she wanted to file an incident report, to which the police officer agreed. 

Notably in the woman’s video, she repeatedly pointed out a different man who she alleged was “hovering around,” although the man had not approached her directly. 

After the police officer took her report, he assured the woman that he would talk to the server and put everything in the incident report as documentation. Unsatisfied with the officer’s line of action, the alleged victim further asked if an investigation would be done. But the officer said, “No, we don’t investigate, it stays in the record.” 

After the video went viral online, several social media users aired out their opinions, with some supporting the victim, and others dismissing her as paranoid. One doctor noted that the woman’s claims were false because “nobody that was affected by a drug that can actually work that fast would ever be able to recover that quickly to be recording and making coherent statements.” 

One user commented, “Maybe take the sandwich and have it tested before you make such a claim without proof,” and another simply added, “Paranoid schizophrenia.” 

One user believes that the alleged victim is “chasing a check clearly” and needs to be arrested for false claims. Another echoed his thoughts with the comment, “Sounds like she’s just fishing for free sh*t and/or attention.” 

On the other hand, some users believe the woman’s experience may have been real. One alleged that she had gone through the same thing, “but with a very, very bad outcome.” Another commented, “A friend of mine had a drink spiked with something at the Pearl at dinner. It was very scary, and looking back, we should’ve reported it. I completely believe this happened.”

Notably, another user pointed out that the woman may have only been experiencing an allergic reaction to “something she didn’t know she was allergic to.”
