I could have a sabotage story on the way...
We get lots of stuff delivered to where I work that has those little sachets of silica gel in them. It occured to me the other day how remarkably like packets of sugar they are, so I've nestled a few amongst the sugar packets.

That stuff isn't lethal to ingest is it?

I think it is actually rather dangerous...
as the swelling could block an airway, as well as the toxicity question...

I also recall a news story where a woman put tippex in her boss' coffee as he'd slighted her in some trivial way. It's highly poisonous and the silly bitch killed him...
