A subtrope of I Ate WHAT?!, this is when a person decides to get revenge on someone by tampering with their food. This can range from slipping in an ingredient that breaks a cultural taboo (giving pork to an observant Jew or Muslim, or meat in general to a committed vegetarian), to disgusting Black Comedy pranks involving overly intimate tampering (bodily fluids), all the way to tricking someone into committing Black Comedy Cannibalism (bonus points for a Familial Cannibalism Surprise). Unlike the sister trope Tampering with Food and Drink, the added ingredient is not meant to cause physical harm to the victim, but rather to insult and disgust them. (That said, tampering in the form of bodily fluids can carry risks). Completely unrelated to Best Served Cold, although they can overlap to make the full quote. See also Nemesis as Customer. Contrast Faked Food Contaminant. Examples |

Team Rocket fall victim to this again in a Sun and Moon episode. After finding out about the species Ribombee's edible Pollen Puffs, Jessie annoys a wild one by demanding it feed her. James reads through further data of the Pokemon, finding out the puffs also come in poison form to use against enemies. Cue Jessie twitching on the ground as the Ribombee merrily hovers away. | |

Count Cain plays this absolutely for drama in Doctor Jezebel's backstory, showing him to have been a sensitive child who loved his pet lamb Snark, and hated to eat meat because he didn't like the thought of animals dying to sustain him. His father told him one night that he could see Snark if he polished off his dinner. Guess what his dinner was. | |

Road Trip: a pretty Jerkass cook licks the sugar off some toast and shits on it before giving it back, in revenge for Kyle (the Butt-Monkey of the companions) asking (pretty politely, in an inversion of Unsatisfiable Customer) to remove the sugar. The funnier/more Squicky part is that Kyle never notices this has been done, and actually likes the taste of the toast. | |

In Waiting..., a "beeyotch" makes the mistake of pissing off the waitstaff. Her food is... enhanced, so to speak. And made so that she doesn't even know what she's eating. For the morbidly curious: The cooks put pubic hair, dandruff, and spit on her food. One guy even rubs the garlic bread in his pants and all over his penis and testicles. | |

Revenge Films: "My drink kept getting stolen, so I swapped out the inside for a disgusting sauce…": Fed up with Karen stealing her matcha latte cups whenever she brought them to work, the OP replaces the contents of her next cup with a disgusting mixture of sauces from her house to punish her. As a result, she ends up throwing up on her brand-new laptop before she could even use it. "I made a secret plan to catch the thief who was stealing everything in the office": Amber and her coworkers were fed up with Karen stealing their possessions, so they concocted a plan to get back at her by speaking about a special diet tea in Amber's locker. As expected, Karen overheard them and went to the locker to drink the alleged tea, only to cough and gag it out as it turned out to be undiluted vinegar. |

American Dad!: In one episode, Hayley makes the decision to test Roger to see if he cares about anything after she gets tired of his selfishness and jerkassery. She does this test by purchasing his home star and pretending to be its queen. She keeps on annoying Roger with her queenly claims until Roger responds in a way she wanted to all while saying that she won. Roger then decides to get revenge on Hayley for testing him by killing a goat that Hayley donated to an African family and then butchering it and serving it to Hayley and the Smith family for dinner, all while disguising the dish as a lamb dish and then subtle telling Hayley what she was eating by telling her that the dish was "similar to lamb". | |

In The Help, a servant does this to her employer. Let's just say, it's a chocolate cake, and what she puts into it is brown. She later tells the employer what, exactly, it was. And that's why you should never be mean to the people who cook your food. (Or accept food from people you treated horribly.) | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: A health inspector comes in and uses his credentials to get everything on the Krusty Krab menu without paying. When the kitchen TV broadcasts a news story about health inspector frauds, Krabs and SpongeBob go overboard on creating the Nasty Patty, including highlights like throwing it in the toilet and wiping it off with sweaty gym socks. For some reason, the 'health inspector' doesn't notice the green pustules on the bun just as the TV announces they caught the actual health inspector fraud. The good news is, the health inspector doesn't eat the Nasty Patty. The bad news is, what he does eat nearly kills him... | |

On Mystery Diners, a waitress with an attitude problem is affronted by a cutomer who tells her his order isn't right. Enraged that she has to get a fresh burger set up, back in the kitchen this fat sweaty waitress deliberately puts the burger bun inside her top, rubbing it against her breast and armpit before returning it to the plate — and serving the hapless customer. | |

South Park: In "Scott Tenorman Must Die", Cartman is out to get revenge on a teenage boy named Scott Tenorman who tricked Cartman into buying his pubes. Scott tries to humiliate Cartman by tricking him into publicly eating chili containing pubes. But it turns out Cartman's plan was far more sinister, as he tricked Scott into eating chili containing his parents' ground-up corpses. In the episode "You're Not Yelping", the local restaurant owners become sick of the Yelp reviewers in the town abusing them under threat of leaving bad reviews of their restaurants and get back at them by leaving little bits of their bodily fluids in the Yelpers' food. |

Rat-Man author Leo Ortolani once made a spoof of the new Star Wars trilogy. The character Dark Mouse, a parody of Darth Maul, was asked by his master (an expy of Emperor Palpatine) about what evil deeds he did that day, and he answered: "Did you think it was beer in that glass I gave you before?". Some time later, the master replied: "Did you think the cake you ate before was a chocolate one?" | |

Family Guy: While Peter uses spy equipment on an restaurant, he hears Mort muttering to himself "Please don't spit in my eggs." and then one cook bragging to another that "I just spit in this guys eggs." There doesn't seem to be any element of payback here, just a cook being an asshole. Parodied in "The Kiss Seen Around the World": Neil and Meg are both interns as the same news station, and Neil gets jealous of the attention Meg pays to news anchor Tom Tucker, so he puts "something" in Tucker's coffee. That "something" turns out to be Sweet-n-Low. When Tucker finds out, he angrily throws the cup, as he had ordered Neil to fill it with urine. A variation is shown in "the King is Dead." Peter takes over from Lois in directing and producing The King and I but, instead of staying true to the original story, he starts introducing various anachronistic and nonsensical elements because he thinks they're better. To make a point, Lois makes him "french toast" but instead of following the recipe she makes it using a bunch of random food items. |

Frasier: In "Agents in America, Part III," Daphne gets back at Bebe for treating her like a servant by tricking her into eating a dog treat that she passed off as a cookie. Roz does this on Julia Wilcox's first day at KACL after Julia rudely demanded coffee and called her "Rizzo". Julia takes a sip and immediately spits it back out. |

In re-prints of the novel Fight Club, Palahniuk adds a foreword. In it, he notes that many ex-waiters told him that tampering with food was Truth in Television, including one man who claimed to be a former waiter at a 5-star London restaurant who bragged that Margaret Thatcher had eaten his semen five times. His subsequent novel Choke has a character based on that waiter, complete with soup urination. | |
