1. Marvin D. Washington Jr. :

Marvin Washington was a 19 year old employee at McDonald’s in Simpsonville. He was caught on camera in April of 2012, spitting into his customers’ tea. The customers came through the drive-thru ordering two sweetened teas. When they found the teas not sweetened, they came back to reorder. Again, the same issue ensued and they went home to add their own sweetener. Once opening, they found phlegm floating and called the police. Washington now faces up to 20 years in jail.

2. Alexander and Christine Clement:

In 2010, this couple did the oddest thing in order not to pay for their Jello pudding. This scheme involved them buying the pudding, replacing the contents with sand and salt mixed together. They would then return the box to get a refund. They continued to do so in 4 grocery stores until surveillance cameras caught them. They were charged with larceny and tampering with consumer products. Both were in their 60s.

3. Joseph Cartwell:

In 2009 a former Ohio deputy was accused of giving an inmate a bologna sandwich that was rubbed against another inmate’s genitals. The man was given a $500 fine plus court fees.

11 cases in 9 stores were food tampering related in Calgary in 2010. Small shards of metal were found in products such as ground beef and oranges.

5. Tatyana Granada:

Granada was arrested on 4 separate incidents of food tampering in Oakridge Co-op in early 2010. Needles and pins were inserted into fresh food items.

Many people associate porn with a variety of media, such as books, magazines, photos, drawings, animations, films, videos, video games etc. The term applies to the depiction of the act rather than the act itself, and does not include live exhibitions like sex shows and striptease.

This article sets out to entice readers and to provide fascinating facts which they never knew about until now.

1.

Watching pornography seems to be an intense task for the eyes. However, new research has proven that it can actually quiet down a part of the brain that processes visual stimuli. This is the exact opposite of watching other movies that send extra blood flow to this brain region. This helps explain the reasons why there is sexual arousal in people. It may not send blood to the visual stimuli, but will definitely send it to the region responsible for sexual arousal.

2.

Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam determined that women do look at internet porn, but are less likely to pay for it. This causes the gender gap to widen into an abyss. Both Ogas and Gaddam did research examining sexual preferences through data compiled from search engines like DogPile and AOL and internet porn sites such as Fastasi.cc and PornHub.

3.

As disgusting as these sounds, MILFs are as popular as 19 year olds. This was again found by research done by Ogas and Gaddam. Older women were so popular that men searched more times for a fifty year old than a 19 year old.

4.

In 2010, there were 420 million internet porn pages and 4.2 million porn websites. 68 million requests were made on search engines daily for this specific topic.

5.

Porn industry is approaching a crossroad. The industry is embracing new technologies that are hitting the market and are throwing out traditional porn producers at the same time.
