A 57-year-old New Jersey woman beat Wednesday's near triple-digit heat browsing the aisles at Ahart's Market, then she allegedly took vanilla extract into the bathroom, police said, drank it and tried to steal some more.

According to police, Susan Finnigan, of Flemington, tried to bolt from the store without paying for 26 bottles of extract, worth $54, and she drank an unknown amount of the high-alcohol-content baking ingredient.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration pure vanilla extract must contain at least 35 percent alcohol -- Jack Daniel's whiskey contains 40 percent alcohol -- so the concoction packs a punch.

Finnigan isn't the first to try drinking alcohol in the store bathroom. Susan Montgomery, 54, allegedly quaffed two bottles of cooking wine while in the bathroom the morning of April 28.

Like Montgomery, Finnigan was charged with retail theft.
