😳PENNSYLVANIA MAN ARRESTED AFTER BREAKING INTO BURGER KING AT 2:40 AM TO DRINK THE FRYER OIL -- TOLD OFFICERS IT WAS A SURVIVAL DIET HE SAW ONLINE AND HE STANDS BEHIND THE RESEARCH
Marcus Delaney, 32, of Allentown, PA was arrested Tuesday after authorities say he bypassed the locked side entrance of a Burger King on Hamilton Boulevard just after 2:40 AM, walked past the register, walked past the Whopper display, walked past an entire functioning kitchen, and went directly to the industrial fryer where he began filling large cups with used cooking oil he consumed on site until employees arrived for the morning shift and found him seated behind the counter surrounded by empty containers and one man's absolute commitment to a dietary philosophy.
According to the police report:
- Marcus had allegedly discovered a "high-fat survival diet" on a forum three days prior and determined that fast food fryer oil represented the most accessible and cost-effective implementation of the protocol
- He had reportedly brought his own cups, which investigators noted "suggests the burger king fryer was not a spontaneous decision"
- When officers asked if he was aware the restaurant was closed he said yes and that he had specifically chosen overnight hours to avoid the lunch rush
- He was transported to a nearby hospital before booking, where staff described his condition as "consistent with a man who had recently consumed a significant quantity of industrial frying oil at 2 AM on a Tuesday"
"He brought his own cups," said Officer Dale Simms of Allentown PD. "To a closed Burger King. For the fryer oil. He had done the research. The research was wrong. The cups were the detail that stayed with me."
The Whopper was right there the entire time. He never considered it.
The internet told him oil was survival. The hospital told him something different.
