NO. Don't try this.

You can kill somebody by putting eye drops in their food/liquids.

No. You can seriously harm or even kill yourself or another person by ingesting eye drops.

Visine Original: Deadly if ingested
Visine Tears: Laxative

Visine Tears is a bunch of salts and *ding ding*, polyethylene glycol, an ingredient in both laxatives and the "evacuate your freakin bowel" stuff they give you before operations. I doubt the piss tiny amount in Visine would do anything though.

I've seen that episode.. why would they spread an urban myth that could, and has, gotten people severely injured?

There's also a type of eyedrop that flight attendents use to calm people down if their very scared about flying.

I had a pharmacist tell me it was fine (maybe he meant a specific brand/type?), but I wouldn't ever do it anyway.
