Reddit user MousseNecessary3258 asked: "What’s the worst food crime you have seen anyone commit?"

The phrase "food crime" is an actual thing in legal and regulatory vernacular.

In that context, food crime refers to serious fraud and related criminality within the food supply chain—often involving dishonesty in ingredient substitution or quality—and potentially harmful practices.


But in common slang, food crime refers to:

"Humorous or exaggerated acts of food preparation or consumption that are considered to be 'wrong' or 'bad' by some, often involving unconventional combinations or methods."

Pineapple on pizza—which I happen to love—is an example of something people might consider a food crime.

Something Fishy

"Many years ago when I worked at Panera, we sold a cinnamon swirl raisin bread around Christmas time. We usually just sold it as a whole loaf."

"Had a woman come in and order a tuna salad sandwich, extra mayo, extra cheese, toasted, on this bread. I confirmed it back to her a few times because I was convinced I was mishearing her."

"She ate the whole thing."

Layers

"Another one I have is one of my best friends growing up would eat a Big Mac layer by layer."

"Like he would take the bun off, eat that, then the top patty with the toppings, then the bun below that, etc..."

"If I had to choose between this guy or Dexter as a roommate, I'd have to sit down and think about it."

Spice Trade

~ PrincessSarahHippo

Deconstructed Pizza

"Sat next to a couple at a bar that serves slices of pizza."

"The lady asked the bartender for a fork and the man she was with groaned and was visibly embarrassed."

"She then proceeded to scrape all of the toppings off of the pizza, eat them with the fork, and then eat the somewhat saucy bread after."

~ goldblob3

A Bit Dry

"I once watched my father put a pork roast into a crockpot all by itself, set it to high, and declare that dinner would be ready in about 4 hours."

"I was just up for a visit, so I kicked him out of his kitchen and scrounged around for whatever expired spices and other ingredients I could scrape together and turned the temp down."

"It wasn't great, but at least it was more than just a pork roast + high heat for 4 hours."

~ CainsCurse

"I'll never understand how middle-aged dads can do stuff like this."

"It's one thing if you're a college student an home-cooked food is all you can afford, it's another if you're a young bachelor with delusions of culinary adequacy, but if you're like 45 you have had waaaay too much time to not have figured out you don't know how to cook and should just order takeout or something when you have guests over."

Survivor Rations

"He also gets that watery canned tuna and mixes it in a bowl of Kraft Mac-n-Cheese."

"Sometimes, he even gets some ground beef, cooks it, and then just eats that, maybe with a little salt, but overall, just sad tasteless rubber."

"Has he never heard of maybe just a salad?"

~ ava_loves_cuddlefish

"- Smith Family Chili Recipe -"

"3 Cans Campbell's Tomato Soup"

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
