Pentagon Confirms Poppy Seed Bagels Can Cause Failed Drug Test

The Pentagon has just confirmed a longstanding theory in the stoner community: Eating poppy seed bagels can lead to a failed drug test.

In a memo to U.S. armed forces the undersecretary of defense, Gil Cisneros said certain varieties of poppy seeds have higher traces of codeine than previously thought. He advises troops to avoid eating bagels and other foods with poppy seeds on them.

And now Pentagon officials say they're taking a second look at all codeine-positive tests from 2019 to make sure they're accurate. Department of Defense rep Nicole Schwegman says, "The number of poppy seeds consumed, the concentration of codeine detected in urine, and time of consumption relative to the drug test are also important factors."

Are you a fan of breakfast sandwiches? I know some people feel like a breakfast sandwich can change the way they tackle a day. Personally, the only breakfast sandwich I am big on is grilled cheese. I know, very basic of me. But, breakfast in general can be very important. It truly kick-starts your day and helps you be able to better navigate the day. From fast food spots to bagel shops and coffee shops, you can find a good breakfast sandwich. But, where are the best?

Cheapism is telling us the best places to enjoy a breakfast sandwich in every state. So, of course, we had to check out what spots are representing the Carolinas. These spots are based on high customer ratings and food critics. Even more fun, Charlotte is home to the best one in North Carolina. How about that? If you have tried either of these then let us know your thoughts!

Laurel Market - Charlotte 

Laurel Market is a favorite for breakfast sandwiches in North Carolina. Not only do they offer a wide range of options to enjoy for breakfast, but you can also get crazy and build your own monster of a sandwich. From a classic grilled cheese on your choice of bread to class sausage, egg, and cheese and a superior breakfast ham sandwich. Sounds like breakfast might have just gotten a lot better in Charlotte.

Page's Okra Grill - Charleston

Of course, the best spot in South Carolina is in Charleston. Page's Okra Grill has the famous TJ's Hot Mess that you should try out for breakfast. I LOVE Page's but I am always enjoying lunch and dinner there instead. The famous breakfast sandwich has fried chicken between two halves of buttery biscuit with pepper jack cheese, eggs, and jalapeños. Sounds pretty great, right? Time for breakfast!
