Ha! I can say from personal experience that the poppyseed thing is real. The only drug test I've ever failed in my life was right after I ate a poppyseed pancake for breakfast, and I was about the most  clean-cut 19 yr old you could ask for. The place I was trying to get hired at dropped me like a hot potato because of my supposed "heroin problem." Luckily I had a friend who had been hired as a manager - she cracked up and went right to HR to set them straight. 
Anyway. I don't know much about Mr. Blomgren, other than the fact that he chooses poor company, but there is at least a glimmer of a possibility that he's telling the truth about the bagel.
