Chili Copycat
The chili thief lives among us. Apparently, this person admits to adding Tabasco sauce to Wendy’s chili. Seems innocent enough. That is until they reveal that they used it to get second place in a chili cook-off. It’s technically stealing, but with a twist. Really they just took that chili and made it their own.
You’ve undoubtedly heard people say to “steal” from the best but make it your own. Put your own spin on it. So, with that in mind, did this person really steal from Wendy’s? They added a secret ingredient to it to make it better. Wendy’s should be paying this person for updating their recipe. But essentially, yes, they did steal, hence clearing their conscience.
