12	He could be working at Burger King, spitting on your onion rings''
13	-->-- '''Music/{{Eminem}}''', "The Real Slim Shady"
14
15	A subtrope of IAteWhat, 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 BlackComedy pranks involving overly intimate tampering (bodily fluids), all the way to tricking someone into committing BlackComedyCannibalism (bonus points for a FamilialCannibalismSurprise).
16
17	Unlike the sister trope TamperingWithFoodAndDrink, 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).
18
19	Completely unrelated to BestServedCold, although they can overlap to make the full quote. See also NemesisAsCustomer. Contrast FakedFoodContaminant.

Each time he returns, the bully has crapped in his shoe, and they force him to put it back on and stand there in abject misery with shoes full of shit until the game ends. While he's going home after the game he gets interviewed by a television crew from the BBC who are doing a story on football violence and want his opinion. Staring down the camera, the man declares "In my sincere opinion, football violence in this country will never end! Not as long as they are shitting in our shoes, and we are pissing in their Bovril!"

40	* ''[[ComicBook/RatMan1989 Rat-Man]]'' author Leo Ortolani once made a spoof of the new Franchise/StarWars 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?".

50	* ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10349675/6/Harry-Potter-and-the-Lightning-Scar Harry Potter and the Lightning Scar]]'':
51	-->Kreacher, knowing this was his last opportunity to do battle against the "mongrel half-blood," had made what ''appeared'' to be a delicious breakfast--enough that Harry forgot who he was dealing with, and bit into an innocent-looking doughnut. Unfortunately, that doughnut happened to be filled, not with cream or jam, but with mayonnaise. Retching, Harry tried to wash the taste out of his mouth with what looked like pumpkin juice, but which was in fact carefully-diluted muddy rainwater.
52	* In the ''Calm Before the Storm'' side story of ''Fanfic/TheConversionBureauTheotherSideOfTheSpectrum'', TCB!Big Macintosh reveals he once fed something to [[AlphaBitch Diamond Tiara]] that gave her food poisoning as retaliation for her [[BigBrotherInstinct calling Applebloom the product of incest]].

59	[[folder:Film]]
60	* In ''Film/LittleMonsters'', Brian's monster friend Maurice takes him on a tour of his nightly pranks. For the last house (a bully's house--by request), Maurice switches out the tuna salad in the bully's lunch with cat food and the apple juice with fresh urine. Next day, during lunch, Brian is audience to the hilarity.
61	* ''Film/ProblemChild 2'' has Junior doing this with a pitcher of lemonade that he was asked to refill by two snotty twin girls running a lemonade stand. He tops off the lemonade by peeing in it. Naturally the father of the snotty twin girls buys a glass and drinks it, describing it as ''tangy''.
62	* In ''Film/{{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: [[spoiler: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.]]
63	* In ''Film/TheHelp'' a maid who's been unjustly fired gives her ex-employer a "chocolate" pie. When the victim discovers what she'd ''really'' been eating, her own mother finds it hilarious.
64	* ''Film/RoadTrip'': a pretty Jerkass cook licks the sugar off some toast and ''shits on it'' before giving it back, in revenge for Kyle (the ButtMonkey of the companions) asking (pretty politely, [[DisproportionateRetribution in an]] [[InvertedTrope inversion]] of UnsatisfiableCustomer) to remove the sugar. The funnier/more {{Squick}}y part is that Kyle never notices this has been done, and actually ''likes'' the taste of the toast.
65	* In ''Film/TheColorPurple1985'', Seeley spits in a drink before giving it to Mister.
66	* Implied in ''Film/AnchormanTheLegendOfRonBurgundy'' with a restaurant called ''Escupimos en su Alimento'', which is [[BilingualBonus Spanish for "We spit in your food"]].
67	* ''Film/FightClub'':
68	** There are several references to people urinating or worse into food.
69	--->"Tyler was now involved in a class action lawsuit against the Pressman Hotel over the urine content of their soup."
70	** Later in the movie:
71	--->'''The Narrator:''' ''[after Marla orders clam chowder]'' ''Clean'' food, please.\
72	'''Fight Club Member:''' In that case, may I advise against the lady eating the clam chowder.
73	* In Fruit Chan's ''Film/LittleCheung'', a disgruntled prostitute drops a used tampon in her pimp's cup of tea, and he drinks it without noticing.
74	* ''Film/{{Beethoven}}'': George and Alice are having lunch with some potential investors for their business. Brad, one of the investors, partonisingly asks "Alecia" to refill his lemonade to stop her asking questions about the contract they're offering. While refilling the drink, Alice takes a quick sip and spits it back into the glass before handing it to Brad.

76
77	[[folder:Jokes]]
78	* There's a joke about explorers who get CapturedByCannibals and subsequently StewedAlive. One explorer starts laughing and explains to the other that [[DefiantToTheEnd he just pissed in the soup]].
79	* A lawyer is given the window seat on a flight from Chicago to New York, sitting next to two doctors. Once the plane has reached cruising altitude, the lawyer undoes his shoes, leaving them under the seat in front of him. When after 30 minutes the lawyer has to go to the lavatory, one of the doctors sniggers to the other as he picks up one of the lawyer's shoes and deposits a drawing pin inside, putting it back on the floor. The lawyer comes back and offers the doctors a cup of water each, which they accept. After another 30 minutes, the lawyer visits the toilet again, and the second doctor picks up the other shoe and places a thumbtack inside, before he puts it back down. Again, the lawyer returns and offers the doctors some water. When the pilot announces the start of the descent into JFK, the lawyer slips his feet into his shoes and winces, before taking the tacks out and turning to the doctors, saying "How juvenile can you get? You put thumbtacks in my shoes, and I pissed in your cups of water. We're supposed to be professionals here."

86	* In ''Literature/TheHelp'', 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.)
87	* In ''Literature/ILoveLemonade'', Quirky Turkey wants revenge on Little Baa Baa so he puts Billy's pee in some lemonade and serves it to the sheep, claiming it cost money but was free to sheep.

90	-->'''Teft:''' Wait, you put chull dung in Highprince Sadeas's soup? \

92	* ''Literature/TheTwits'' has Mrs. Twit serve her husband worms, calling it pasta.
93	* In ''Literature/TheWitches'', while the unnamed boy protagonist (named Luke in [[Film/TheWitches1990 the 1990 film]]) is infiltrating the hotel kitchen for some food-based revenge of his own, he sees several waitstaff "tenderize" the steak of a rude diner by all spitting on it.
94	* In re-prints of the novel ''Literature/FightClub'', Palahniuk adds a foreword. In it, he notes that many ex-waiters told him that tampering with food was TruthInTelevision, including one man who claimed to be a former waiter at a 5-star London restaurant who bragged that UsefulNotes/MargaretThatcher had eaten his semen ''five times''. His subsequent novel ''Choke'' [[http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/features/chuck-palahniuk-american-scream-758121.html has a character based on that waiter,]] complete with soup urination.
95	* In ''Literature/{{Trainspotting}}'' (book only), a girl jobbing in a restaurant is hit on by some English {{Jerkass}} tourists. She retaliates by putting all kinds of squicky stuff in their food.

102	* Subverted in an episode of ''Series/TrailerParkBoys'', when Bubbles falsely tells Barb Lahey that the hot dog she is eating (home-made by Sam Losco) had been 'licked by cats', in order to ruin Sam's date with Barb.
103	* ''Series/{{Seinfeld}}'': George serves scrambled eggs secretly laced with lobster to Jerry's girlfriend, revealing it after she ate... many people would love this combination (she does until she finds out what it was), but she follows a kosher diet. This is his revenge for her telling his girlfriend about his "shrinkage".
104	* ''Series/GameOfThrones'':
105	** When Tyrion Lannister is on trial for murder, he sarcastically confesses to a bunch of misdeeds from his childhood. One of them was jerking off in [[BigBrotherBully his older sister's]] soup. He ''hopes'' she ate it.

113	* ''Series/{{Millennium}}'': In "Somehow Satan Got Behind Me", a waiter urinates in the coffee served to a GrumpyOldMan. The old man realises the moment he drinks it and approves of such a petty vile act, because he's actually a demon.
114	* On ''Series/MysteryDiners'', 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.

116
117	[[folder:Mythology & Religion]]
118	* In Myth/EgyptianMythology, there is a myth where someone mixes Horus' semen with the dressing for a salad prepared for Set in revenge for Set's rape of Horus as a boy/young adolescent. (The idea being that by eating Horus' semen, Set was effectively raped by Horus.) [[ContinuitySnarl The ancient Egyptian sources disagree as to whether it was Horus himself who did this or if it was his mother Isis]], but either way it makes the trope OlderThanDirt. (Also, this is [[JustSoStory apparently why lettuce contains that milky latex]], as the salad in question was lettuce-based.)[[note]]The Egyptians generally connected lettuce with male fertility, both because of the latex and because the leaves themselves are so straight and hard (if the lettuce is romaine, which was what they had).[[/note]]
119	* Myth/ClassicalMythology:
120	** Thyestes, brother of King Atreus of Mycenae, was secretly having an affair with Atreus' wife Aerope. When Atreus discovered the affair, he found two of Thyestes' sons, butchered them, and served them at a feast for Thyestes. After thoroughly enjoying the meal, Atreus informed Thyestes of the secret ingredient, and Thyestes cursed Atreus.
121	** From the same mythology, we have Procne and Philomela. They are sisters, but Procne's husband starts to lust after Philomela and rapes her then tears out her tongue so she wouldn't be able to tell the tale... so Philomela weaves it into a tapestry and shows it to Procne. Together, they kill Procne's son by her husband and serve him for dinner to punish the husband. When the husband tries to kill them both, Zeus turns all three into birds (the guy was obviously nasty, but killing and cooking a child was not something Zeus could forgive.)
122	** The versions of Lycaon's story where Lycaon had a daughter, Kallisto (who was once raped by Zeus then turned into a bear) as well as his sons say the boy Lycaon served for dinner to the visiting and disguised Zeus was Kallisto's son because Lycaon wanted to punish Zeus for what he did to Kallisto. Zeus was having none of it and this is why we call werewolves lycanthropes.
123	* One origin myth for El Dorado states that a jealous Muisca chief killed his wife's lover and tricked his wife into eating his heart by claiming it was the heart of a deer. Upon learning the truth, she drowned herself and her daughter in Lake Guatavita. Thereafter the remorseful chief made yearly sacrifices of gold into the lake, which evolved into a coronation ceremony where the new chief would be covered in gold dust (becoming ''El Dorado'', "the gilded one") and dive into the lake to rinse it off.

He still ''ate'' it, being a {{Heel}}.

132	[[folder:Theatre]]
133	* The final act of ''Theatre/TitusAndronicus'' has the title character [[FamilialCannibalismSurprise serving Tamora her own sons]] as vengeance for [[RapeAsDrama what they did to his daughter Lavinia]] on her orders. Shakespeare was no doubt inspired by the Thyestes example from Mythology above.

136	[[folder:Video Games]]

147	* ''WebAnimation/LaceyGames'': PlayedForHorror. After Lacey snaps in the bad ending, she makes the day's special...''something'' containing things like broken glass, cigarettes, and cockroaches and feeds it to the customers. [[UncertainDoom It's unclear if they survive this.]]

149	** "[[https://youtu.be/URkpGhx-KKU 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.
150	** "[[https://youtu.be/-1zi6y-G744 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.

157	** 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.
158	* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
159	** 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 [[ForTheEvulz being an asshole]].
160	** 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, [[BizarreTasteInFood as he had ordered Neil to fill it with urine]].
161	** A variation is shown in "the King is Dead." Peter takes over from Lois in directing and producing ''Theatre/TheKingAndI'' 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.
162	* ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'': 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".
163	* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': In "Joking Victim", Sadie learns Lars was faking an injury to get off work, and Steven offers her some "fire salt" to get even. She dumps a ton of the stuff on a donut and offers it to Lars when he comes in to work the next day, but [[DeadlyPrank it backfires]] when it turns out Sadie used so much fire salt it [[FireBreathingDiner makes Lars spit actual fire]], on top of nearly choking.
164	* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': 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' [[FailedASpotCheck 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, [[SubvertedTrope the health inspector doesn't eat the Nasty Patty]]. The bad news is, what he ''does'' eat nearly kills him...
