Paging Tin Foil Ted: Mystery of the Day

Post by Rootbeer »

Background:
A customer abandoned a Land Rover Discovery II at my repair shop. No license plates, he just bought it. There is a copy of the bill of sale in the window. He declined repairs (transmission) and then disappeared. We tried calling for a year.

Finally got an abandoned vehicle title and started unpacking personal items from the back.

There are three of these insulated cooler backpacks.
Image

Inside the pack are these compartmented containers.
Image

Inside the compartmented containers is somebody's mystery... lunch? Everything is the color of aluminum foil.
Image

The 12oz cans have been drained through small holes in the top and bottom. All labels are totally missing.
Image

A small tube of Pringles was wrapped in foil and the seal under the cap was turned over so you can't see the label unless yountear the foil. Why??? And the Pringles smell like apples, for some reason.
Image

Two small bags of Sweet Chili Doritos were opened and turned inside out. The Doritos were then put back in the bags and heat sealed. Whyyy?
Image





Alright, smart friends, I turn the mystery to you. What is happening here?

Alien abduction with a side dose of anal probes.

Screwy would be there in a second, but he doesn't have a car or money.

Putting aside the Repo Man vibe, it's Land Rover's son's science experiment from school. I'll wager that in one of the other knapsacks is a potato and a lightbulb. Reason being, the potato will power the light.

Type Why would someone put aluminum foil over their food and drink items? into Google and you might start having ideas about what could be going on.

The cans (labels missing) that were drained through the small holes were evidently going to be used for something, but I do not know what that something could be.

Those sharp-edged Doritos are shrapnel.

You would have been there if 12 year old girls were hanging out.

You are truly one of the worst pieces of shit to ever post on this board. Start giving up your paycheck for reparations now and then you can shut the fuck up about your racist blasts.

Are you trolling me into putting this phrase into my search history? Sounds like the kind of thing that goes into your DHS file.

I got duped into searching Donald Trump Rule 34 once. Now I'm wary.
