Poppy seed Fact

In light of the last posted recipe...
Did you see the Seinfeld episode where Elaine ate the poppy seed muffin?

From snopes.com

Claim: The consumption of poppy seeds used on bagels and muffins can produce positive results on drug screening tests.

Status
: True

Origins
: Drug testing has become more and more prevalent in our society, and while urine or blood analysis is one of the best ways to do that, the tests themselves are not always infallible and can sometimes produce skewed results. Indeed, something as innocuous as poppy seeds on a bagel or muffin or in a slice of cake can make the drug-free look like heroin users.
