This is why the girl who licked that ice cream is getting charged with a felony
-
show: is literally called buzzfeed unsolved me: expects the case to be solved anyway
-
“Chicago is known for Shane madej” Shane: 😃 “The nations greatest tragedy” Shane: 😢
-
“I’d have to quarantine myself” Oh just you wait Ryan-
-
“Do you think Advil did this” I’M WEAK 😂
-
“I’d quarantine myself” Oh ryan Ryan Ryan
-
Ryan: “It affected the whole world!” Shane: “The whole world?” Ryan: “Well America at least” Most American thing I’ve ever heard 😂

Every time I rewatch this, I think about how he says that 'chillingly, there was a bottle still unsold,' but glosses over the fact that two bottles were SENT BACK BY CONSUMERS in the recall -- people who literally already had pills in hand and just hadn't taken any yet. That's way more chilling to me than one that was pulled before being sold.
-
when the pain killers kill more than just pain
-
Do you ever think that the murderers could have watched these videos
-
"I would quarantine myself" "It might be an airborne disease" "I think you wear a mask" Wow, just wow
-
Gah it still bugs me so much that it doesn't seem targeted, or possible to specifically target victims, and yet there's so many Marys Edit: yes I realize it was most likely just coincidence. Like I said, I don't see how the victims could've been targeted intentionally. It just seems weird, like how two of the bottles have the same control number, when consensus seems to be the bottles must have been tampered with in the stores
-
Dang, about 7 minutes in, I was like, "I wonder who the killer will end up being!" And then I remembered I was watching Buzzfeed UNsolved...
-
Watching this in 2020, that quarantine joke did not age well.
-
I saw the title and out-loud said: “Didn’t Sherlock solve this?” Then remembered Sherlock Holmes is in fact a fictional character.
-
Here's an interesting fact: one of the co-founders of BuzzFeed is John Seward Johnson III, a descendant of one of the founders of Johnson and Johnson.
-
why is nobody talking about the fact that 3 of the victims were called mary? like what are the chances that 3/7 of the victims had the same name!
-
Those poor girls just probably wanted to reliveve period cramps
-
It surprises me that they left out a popular theory: The laziness of the perpetrator being explained away by the fact that the poisonings were a coverup. The poisonings of strangers being used to cover up the annihilation of the Janus family, conducted by the scorned and often bullied brother, Hugh Janus.
