Oh, don't get me started
Nov. 16th, 2007 12:20 pmSo, I was just getting my Mt. Dew from the fridge and the new person working for the accountants saw me and said, OMG! Mt. Dew is so bad for you?
And I laughed and said, "Why?"
And she said, it's got formaldehyde in it!
I said, no way, that has to be an urban legend. She was SO confident that it was true.
So I went and looked it up. No. It is not true. Nor does Mt. Dew shrink your penis. Assuming you have one.
Love,
CK
PS: This poor woman who hardly knows me got a HUGE lecture from me about spreading stupid urban legends as true stories. She now thinks I am completely insane. *rolls eyes*

And you are insane. Totally.
It's not Formeldyhyde, it's Strychnine--
Date: 2007-11-20 03:55 pm (UTC)The fact is Mt. Dew has trace amounts of Strychnine. And, Strychnine is really bad--it's what they put in rat poison. So, people, check your facts before you put them on the internet--because people take this stuff to heart and kids use it as a reference to write their term papers.
