In some places with capital punishment, death row inmates are allowed a final meal of their choice. Here are some unusual last meal requests:
- Victor Harry Feguer asked for a single olive with the pit, believed to symbolize peace.
- Gerald Lee Mitchell’s sweet tooth led him to request an assorted bag of Jolly Ranchers Candy.
- Lawrence Russel Brewer ordered an extravagant feast but refused to eat, leading to a ban on last meal requests in Texas.
- John Wayne Gacy, the killer clown, chose 12 fried shrimp, KFC, french fries, and strawberries for his final meal.
- Aileen Wuornos opted for a single cup of black coffee, expressing her belief in a quick return.
