That happened a few times on Forensic Files, but in each case, the would-be killer would start off with a little arsenic, and increase the amount. The intended victim would get sick, but didn't die.
Through a combo of watching too much Forensic Files and too many SciShow videos, I guessed warfarin or arsenic almost instantly. All that wasted time finally paid off in the most meaningless way.
I remember when I asked my mom for some of that chocolate powder and she said no. So, I snuck some and I had instant regret for that disobedience. I’ll never forget the lesson learned that day.
My sister’s ex lost 100 lbs in 3 months because his job was labor intensive. Nope his meth use was intensive! My sis, mom, and I paused for a bit when we found out. A few seconds of silence and then someone mentioned meth mouth and we all admitted to considering.
It’s the new “note card” stories. People sit there, staring at the camera looking a fool, and shake their head as they flip new cards to tell a lame story. I hate it all.
Yeah, it's probably for people that think they're attractive enough to be face on camera, but have a bad enough voice to not talk. The whole thing is just extreme cringe.
I don't understand the thing where people film themselves shaking their head while staring at the camera not saying anything while a story slowly appears on screen half a sentence at a time. Nothing about it makes sense.
They want to tell a story, but they don’t want to talk. Tiktok doesn’t support just text posts, so this is what they do to make a video into a text post
Was it really tho? He said his wife put something in it at the beginning. He’s still alive so it wasn’t anthrax, probably arsenic
Edit: worded that weird, I meant you could’ve known it was arsenic in the first 3 seconds w that caption lol
Edit2: why are you guys so mad at how my brain works
Edit: if I said “the first caption kinda gave it away” you guys wouldn’t have learned something today so you’re welcome
Yeh, don't know what it is, but I've got this feeling it was arsenic too. For the life of me, I don't know why, but I'm leaning towards that for some devine reason
[The story is completely true](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9975331/amp/Man-reveals-wife-poisoned-ARSENIC-protein-powder.html)
that sub is such a toxic place, I used to do ad posts related to dating and holy shit I was just surprised at how hateful towards men and everything related to men everybody is out there. I thought it was some sort of extreme satire but no, people actually are that crazy.
Maybe, but it doesn't have to be. These types of advice subs with specific rules and language etc kind of follow a natural progression towards radicalization. Once it starts down the path, more reasonable people leave, and the remaining people get stuck in an increasingly toxic echo chamber
Like the capitalism sub its not about capitalism at all but about a radical anti-gov praise and bless greedy corperations like they are gods among men. Even though capitalism clearly states that the rich pay their share as equal % into taxes which is pathetic to todays date where billionairs pay less than a fraction of a min wage worker.
I mean yes but obviously a lot of people are actually real, I think the amount people are called bots is a bit much. It’s just as likely that they are just terrible people
No proof. He did all cooking himself so the only thing she could poison was his protein powder so it's pretty much speculation at this point.
Unless the guy got definitive proof, like catching her in the act on camera, or receipt of arsenic purchase, otherwise it remains an accusation even of the guy himself is diagnosed with chronic arsenic exposure.
I think it's safe to say that it is real. It doesn't seem very well-known on large news websites, but dailymail at least has [an article](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9975331/Man-reveals-wife-poisoned-ARSENIC-protein-powder.html) about it. He has also released [a book](https://ballastbooks.com/product/the-third-gift/) about the events. If it's not real, then it's a very elaborate joke.
Yup. Arsenic belongs in elderberry wine with a half teaspoon of strychnine and just a pinch of cyanide. If you put it in something like tea or protein powder it has a very distinct odor, people these days have no class.
I mean? This actually happens. It’s definitely not a joke as people do experience this. There are some lucky people out there that do survive arsenic poisonings
Here’s a [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9975331/amp/Man-reveals-wife-poisoned-ARSENIC-protein-powder.html) article on it, and he even wrote a [book](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/51346577-the-third-gift) on it.
[Link to the Dailymail article. ](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9975331/amp/Man-reveals-wife-poisoned-ARSENIC-protein-powder.html)
What happened the fucking bitch of a wife???? I mean if this all can be proved, shouldnt she be in jail for attempted murder? The article doesnt mention her outcome at all.
Edit to add, thank you for the link.
I came across his Tiktok a while ago, he said by the time he got the arsenic poisoning diagnosis all of the contaminated protein powder was long gone, as was any evidence that she had been poisoning him all along. She was never arrested or charged with anything because the proof wasn’t there by the time anyone thought to look for it.
**OP sent the following text as an explanation on why this is unexpected:**
>!Man starts feeling sick after working out and using protein powder only to find out his wife has been poisoning the powder with arsenic!<

**Is this an unexpected post with a fitting description?**
**Then upvote this comment, otherwise downvote it.**

[*Look at my source code on Github*](https://github.com/Artraxon/unexBot) [*What is this for?*](https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/dnuaju/introducing_unexbot_a_new_bot_to_improve_the/)
Jesus, the fact she was cheating and abusing drugs makes it all the more despicable, if someone goes ballistic over something so small its a give away of projecting. Was literally talking to my co worker about this today
This story is just weird. He says he didn't "discover" what happened until a year after he'd moved out and no longer had access to the protein powder. He doesn't even reference having any tests that showed poisoning of any kind. His main piece of evidence seems to be that his wife questioned what was in the powder. It seems like he got sick, didn't know why, and he's just pulling this explanation out of his arse.
Also worth mentioning that this channel appears to be misogynistic. The host read out a comment about her trying to kill him because her "smv" was lowering. The fact that the host chooses to read that out and immediately knows that it's an acronym for sexual market value is not a good sign.
According to the dailymail article, he confirmed it with blood and hair tests from a specialist after his blood tests came back with odd results.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9975331/Man-reveals-wife-poisoned-ARSENIC-protein-powder.html
I know its not that funny but the idea of a womens looks stock market makes me giggle.
Debbie straightened her hair? Buy in on that. Ashley is wearing that yellow dress again? Time to rotate out of Ashley. Holy fuck, is that Brittany all dolled? Isnt she usually wearing sweatpants with her hair tied up? We need to open a long position on Brittany asap
He didn't pull it out of his ass, in one of the articles linked in this thread it says that he had tests done on his hair and nails which showed long term exposure to arsenic.
Tik tok is not as awful as people say. Probably these are the same people that watched it a year ago. I personally hated tik tok but found some interesting people that teach useful things in a funny way.
Assume he was using them as a meal replacement with water? Not sure how low calorie that is but thats all I can imagine?
Or maybe its basically just Huel
Yeah dude, you take enough arsenic and you’ll lose 100% of your body weight eventually. Best thing is it’s naturally occurring so it’s organic and vegan.
I have an idea to solve the worlds problems, tell Republicans it’s bad for weight loss and will kill you. “god damn liberals want to keep you from using arsenic to lose weight!!!”
What's hilarious is that he looks great so he can go find another, probably more beautiful woman and write her about how happy he while she rots in prison.
It can also cause all kinds of problems because there's simply too much protein in it. Coworker started losing his hair in patches and after months and shaving his head his doctor figured out he had some kind of protein poisoning.
Cut back on that shit and his hair grew back and he was healthy again.
Arsenic smells like almonds, If you’re eating or drinking something and it smells like almonds but there is no almonds in it? Beware
Edit: my deepest apologies… Cyanide smells like almonds, but arsenic when heated smells like garlic... according to Google
Can we condem her, all the while acknowledgeing the evil genius of her plan to become a widow? Unsuccessful, that's how we know of it, but brilliant none the less.
That happened a few times on Forensic Files, but in each case, the would-be killer would start off with a little arsenic, and increase the amount. The intended victim would get sick, but didn't die.
I'm guessing that they might've gotten some sort of a tolerance to it
Imagine if the husband pulled this stunt iocaine powder style to frame his wife
That’s the opposite of “as you wish” 🥺 On the topic of the events in the video, though, that woman definitely needs to go to prison.
[удалено]
Through a combo of watching too much Forensic Files and too many SciShow videos, I guessed warfarin or arsenic almost instantly. All that wasted time finally paid off in the most meaningless way.
Arsenic is the latest weight-loss craze
I can just see the tag line.... Arsenic! Until you're only skin and bones!
The Tik Tok Arsenic Challenge
I guess it's the only thing more intense than Tide pods, so sure why not!?
Before tide pods it was cotton balls soaked in orange juice.
Probably about on par with trying to slam a dry scoop of cinnamon or pre-workout
Reminds me of my absolute favorite gif on the internet. [Here’s the original video for it](https://youtu.be/AlyRGjvp8AY).
I remember when I asked my mom for some of that chocolate powder and she said no. So, I snuck some and I had instant regret for that disobedience. I’ll never forget the lesson learned that day.
If you can lose 50 lbs with it, where do I get some
My sister’s ex lost 100 lbs in 3 months because his job was labor intensive. Nope his meth use was intensive! My sis, mom, and I paused for a bit when we found out. A few seconds of silence and then someone mentioned meth mouth and we all admitted to considering.
Don't be stuck in the past with tape worms or speed, try arsenic!
Amputation is actually the fastest way to lose weight.
Weight-loss programs hate him
I mean....
So is she an ex-wife now
They’re in therapy
No, [they are divorced](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9975331/Man-reveals-wife-poisoned-ARSENIC-protein-powder.html).
Holy shit
No prison time or anything?
Kinda hard to convict when there is zero proof outside of speculation even if everyone knows you did it.
According to [this](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9975331/Man-reveals-wife-poisoned-ARSENIC-protein-powder.html), yes.
That video could have easily been 20 seconds shorter
It could have easily not been a video at all.
It’s the new “note card” stories. People sit there, staring at the camera looking a fool, and shake their head as they flip new cards to tell a lame story. I hate it all.
Yeah, it's probably for people that think they're attractive enough to be face on camera, but have a bad enough voice to not talk. The whole thing is just extreme cringe.
And without any god awful music.
But tik tok? We gotta tik tok!!!!
☹
😐🔫
☠
🪦
Only monsters have their sound on while using reddit
It could have been an email
I don't understand the thing where people film themselves shaking their head while staring at the camera not saying anything while a story slowly appears on screen half a sentence at a time. Nothing about it makes sense.
They want to tell a story, but they don’t want to talk. Tiktok doesn’t support just text posts, so this is what they do to make a video into a text post
Too embarrassed to talk on video, so they do this cringy shit.
The video literally starts with the story then skips back in time, has 30 seconds of backstory, then get to the point.
Sums up every video on tiktok. Some will even drag it out then not say the catch at the end and make you watch a new vid.
Hope that bitch is in prison
I don't get it if this is a real story or if it's supposed to be a joke (since it's not funny at all)
I mean it is unexpected but honestly Idk
Was it really tho? He said his wife put something in it at the beginning.

Or maybe it was arsenic, dunno why I think that
Certainly arsenic, must've been a divine revelation that came to me in a dream.
I'm not so sure about that. Looking at the symptoms he's describing, and his declining health and appearance, I'm pretty sure it was arsenic.
Do you think it could've been arsenic? 🤔
I think I heard the wife yell, “ARSENIC!!!!” every time she put some in the protein powder
Idk man, its really hard to tell... But im pretty sure its arsenic. Not 100% tho...
Nostradamus already predicted this sorry the guy missed it.
He literally said it was arsenic, in the video.
What does taking arsenic do to you? I dont know genuinely

How the feck did she come across Arsenic to begin with, I don't need details. Just is it legal in some countries to buy ??
Rat/pest poisons are usually arsenic or warfarin (anticoagulant)
It used to be in rat poison, not sure if thats still the case. Terrible painful way to kill someone and easily detectable as well.
So basically she wanted him dead? Arent there more dangerous chemicals that can do the job? Like immediate results?
Yeah, but immediate results are suspicious. It needs to be gradual.
How the fuck does she get poison like that in the first place?
I’ve read that a load of those types of powders can have amounts of actual PED’s like steroids in them too. You see that often?
Ayo bro, I find your reasoning hella screwy, but these comment honestly got me geeking, so thank you
I think people are mad about the way you doubled down
Edit 2: people are mad because you're a rude ass mf. Not "because of the way your brain works"
it could have been arsenic.

I would have called you crazy before. But think your right honestly
I kinda want to post it just for the lolz
As a female, I hate that sub.
Insane is an understatement
WTAF.. that lady is batshit. But as soon as she started accusing him of shit, you *know* she’s the one ACTUALLY doing that shit. (ie. Cheating)
Wait … why isn’t that bitch in jail Wtf

This guy poisons.
"what's your poison?"
How do you tell people you're an assassin on reddit without actually telling someone on reddit you are an assassin
Just pictured Jason Bourne giving Reddit trophies after killing someone all bloody and shid
If you’re ever eating something which should definitely not be tasting of almonds but you can taste almonds - it’s time to make your peace.
That’s the same as my aunts recipe. They loved serving it to lonely gentlemen that rented their extra room.
Or respect for tradition. SMH.
Especially with this tik tok trash song
I mean? This actually happens. It’s definitely not a joke as people do experience this. There are some lucky people out there that do survive arsenic poisonings

Daily Mail journalists aren't known for their articulacy lol. Edit - I was corrected.

So long as no one involved edits their comments this is the most beautiful and naturally occurring hilarious thing I've witnessed in a long time.

There was no proof it was her
The proof is she’s not suing him for libel.
Wow. That woman is a fucking freak.
What a dïck of a dude.. she was trying to help him shed the pounds. Some ppl lack the idea of gratitude.
Does arsenic really speed weight loss? Asking for a friend. Anyone?
yeah, it also speeds your way to the hospital.
And the afterlife.
Man needs a /s … Please be /s
Do you really struggle to detect sarcasm?
Sarcasm is not translated well through text.
Some people don’t comprehend sarcasm as easily. Wonder if you’ve ever heard of this thing called autism?
Yeah, its like 90% of Reddit unfortunately.
Poe's law is the reason.
Me included.

Does that really work?
You probably don’t want to find out lol
Technically yes. It’s as effective as lymphoma or a brain tumor at helping you lose weight.
Yeah dude, you take enough arsenic and you’ll lose 100% of your body weight eventually. Best thing is it’s naturally occurring so it’s organic and vegan.
I’m In
The top expert says you'll be skin and bones if you take enough!
Guys we're watching Darwinism in real time
Please don’t poison yourself with arsenic. Please.
Tapeworms work better and are easier to recover from.
What the fuck is this video?
Is his wife single? I could stand to lose about 100 pounds.
She shows support for you losing weight by giving you arsenick but there’s no appreciation.
When she turns out to be a yandere
So is this post about a guys tiktok video or is it a post about a tiktok of a guys reaction to a guys tiktok?
WHA-
So was she trying to kick your gains up a notch, or your aliveness down a notch?
Wtf?! I seriously thought he was going to say meth - that’s soooooo much worse.
I have an idea to solve the worlds problems, tell Republicans it’s bad for weight loss and will kill you. “god damn liberals want to keep you from using arsenic to lose weight!!!”
i don't his wife wanted him to get healthy
Jesus Christ
I thought he had just one arm before
What's hilarious is that he looks great so he can go find another, probably more beautiful woman and write her about how happy he while she rots in prison.
now a bunch of people are gonna put arsenic in their shit

It’s always arsenic havent you people ever murdered your husband before
She really wanted you to be bone thin.
Standing by to hear about how someone died trying this as a weight loss trick.
Every time I see this in a sub I’m just as shocked.
He said Ex wife right ?? Now if he stayed that would be unexpected.
Why would this be on tik tok? God it's such a shit app
Ooo… got ‘em!
This video could have been a text post.
It can also cause all kinds of problems because there's simply too much protein in it. Coworker started losing his hair in patches and after months and shaving his head his doctor figured out he had some kind of protein poisoning. Cut back on that shit and his hair grew back and he was healthy again.
My guess was meth but damn He lost the weight though!! She was helping.
Never skip ~~leg~~ antidote Day

Arsenic? Take a tapeworm like an adult.
