A group of people in India went for dinner and ended up in hospital – bleeding from their mouths and vomiting after being served dry ice… and told it was a mouth freshener.
This wild scene was captured on video in the city of Gurugram over the weekend, and shows five diners at Laforestta Cafe – where they collectively vomited and spit out blood at the same time… right in the middle of the night. restaurant, no less.
According to local reports, a waiter came by with what the guests thought was a sugar and ice palate cleanser… but it turned out to actually be dry ice, which led to immediate burning.
The effects seemed to take effect immediately…after putting the dry ice in their mouths, they reportedly began bleeding and vomiting from the agonizing pain, rinsing their mouths with water and spitting on the floor. One man threw all his food on the floor.
The cameraman who documented all this ultimately did not take any of the dry ice himself; he was spared, but only because he had one of their children with him…so he was lucky. Unfortunately, the rest of the adults in his company accepted it… and they suffered greatly.
The group was eventually rushed to a hospital, where they spent two days recovering. It was a costly mistake for the restaurant: the manager was arrested and police are still looking for the owner, who is reportedly on the run. The police assume it is a straight-up poisoning.
Swallowing dry ice can be fatal… but fortunately these people are reportedly in stable condition. It's unclear what exactly led to the mix-up, but the manager says the staff somehow accidentally got ice cream in the mix and it was an accident.
