Soldiers forced Michael Fabricant at gun point to eat the Coffee-Mate powder he brought with him to Columbia to prove that it was not cocaine.

"They didn't want to taste it, as pure cocaine is fairly poisonous, so I had to eat several mouthfuls in front of them, with guns aimed at me, until they could see that it had no ill effect,'" Fabricant told the Daily Mail.

"I started to explain Coffee-mate and I don't think they understood because they were going, 'No coffee, no coffee'. I was saying I knew it wasn't coffee, but they were a bit bewildered. 'I asked them if they wanted to taste it and they refused because uncut cocaine is extremely powerful not to mention fairly poisonous. One of them gestured with the butt of his rifle for me to sample it instead. 'I started tasting some of it and the guards insisted I had more to see if I was going to trip out. When it became obvious it wasn't happening, they started giggling and one tried it on their tongue," he said.

Why did he had a can of Coffee-Mate with him? He said he loved the local coffee, but didn't trust the local milk product.
