Were they slugs and salt was added? So they all melted?
Or was salt added? (Phrasing it as a yes or no!

No, the "something" added is not a solid, yes it is a liquid.
Slugs?!?! LOL. No, they were not slugs and no salt was not added. And while salt would certainly kill slugs, they do NOT melt, you goober! That's it, no more Far Side cartoons before bed for you!
Edit: Wait, I just realized where the slug idea came from. It was the fish riddle, wasn't it! It made you wonder if this was another trick!
Okay firstly remind me to never eat while I'm surfing the forums... eating crackers and reading about how a slug melts is kinda gross.
Anyway.
Were there a lot of people at the party?
Was the man immune to what was added to the punch?
Does this have anything to do with the religious cult that drank punch to commit suicide?
Did the man vomit out the poison?

Hey now! It was just explained they don't melt, they dehydrate quickly to death!
LOL. I can see it now. "Did you hear the one about the girl who was eating some oyster crackers and surfing the net reading about slugs?"... Of course I can't figure out the rest of the story but I'm sure the moral would be not to eat while you are on the computer.

Did he drink the punch from some where else before he joined the party where they all died?
Sorry to continue the slug saga but my husband carrys around a squirt bottle filled with ammonia, which has the same effect as salt, and shoots them as he finds them. GROSS!
One possible explanation is that everyone at the party drank the punch, and after the lucky guy left, the place burned/blew up/whatever, and everyone there was killed.
Nowhere in the riddle did it say that drinking the punch had anything to do with people dying.
It's sort of like the list of people in the paper every day who have quit drinking coffee. (the obits)

Did he actually drink it from the punch bowl and the ladle was what contained the poision? And he double-dips, too. The horror! No, actually, it was a nice thought but the answer to the question is no.
Did he drink the punch from some where else before he joined the party where they all died? Nope. Another good thought though.

Nowhere in the riddle did it say that drinking the punch had anything to do with people dying. OBI: Now this wasnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t actually phrased as a question, much less a yes or no question. In absence of a question (BOY, am I being hard-nosed!!
), I will simply repeat some question/answers that have already been posted.

Ta da! Yes, that is the answer! The poison was in the ice cubes, which melted AFTER the man left the party. I'm going on vacation tomorrow for my wedding anniversary (my husband is totally in the dark about where we're going!) and won't be back 'till late Monday. So I won't post another riddle until I get back. pinkdaisy/ari could post one during that time, maybe! But I don't want to start one if I won't be around to answer questions for three days!Originally Posted by Ali012281
Were there ice cubes in the punch?
Were the ice cubes poison that were slowly released through the night and the man left before they melted?
PS. I don't read FarSide funnies before going to bed. My mind is independently twisted, without any outside influences.
