You may recall my earlier high-level journalistic investigations into the smuggling of Mexican bologna into the state. This was prompted by stories that the processed meat from Mexico was being transported across the state’s southern border inside spare tires, beneath car seats and intermingled with underwear in suitcases.
Well now the smuggling game has taken a new an ugly twist.
A recent article in the Albuquerque Journal edition says a woman tried to sneak a supply of the illegal drug fentanyl across the southern New Mexico border inside a hamburger.

I don’t think the burger looks very appetizing to begin with, even without the baggie of fentanyl stuffed in the middle.
It also looks like there was green chile added to the burger. Somehow, I think a splash of hot Hatch green chile and fentanyl would make an especially toxic mix.
What concerns me, however, is that it looked like this burger was part of a combo deal which included the drink to the left of the burger. I wonder if they tested the drink to see if it was laced with LSD.
