From meth-laced candies to quirky art and corporate jokes, these odd news stories have captured global attention. A New Zealand charity apologized for distributing methamphetamine-laced candies, an oversight only realized after foul-tasting complaints.

Banksy unveiled his latest—and likely final—animal-themed mural at London Zoo, featuring a gorilla freeing sea creatures.
