Campbell’s Soup is Mmm Mmm Good
That is, of course, unless you’re the offspring of William Allen Cunningham, who pleaded guilty on Monday of tampering with his children’s soup so that he could extract money from the Campbell’s soup company.
Cunningham was charged with child cruelty charges and communicating false claims.
Cunningham’s 3-year-old son and 18-month-old daughter were hospitalized twice in January 2006 — the first time after eating soup laced with hot peppers and lighter fluid, and the second time with the prescription drugs Prozac and Amitriptyline. According to federal prosecutors, Cunningham called the soup company and threatened to sue.
Just when you think that overdosing your tykes on Benadryl so you could go out for a nightcap was the worst thing you could do as a parent, some guy comes along and one-ups you. Well, at least Cunningham’s kids weren’t depressed, following that second bowl of soup.
