  • Pop Rocks and soda rumor

    From Metal@1:123/3002 to All on Tue Jan 20 21:28:01 2026
    Some of you may have been on the Internet long enough to hear about a rumor where if you eat pop rocks and drink soda at the same time your stomache would explode. But that's been proven not true lol. To test this, some people put pop rocks and soda into a balloon, and the balloon barely even expanded.

    And so, that's the Soda and pop rocks rumor debunked XD

    Has anyone ever tried it before?

    Thats okay.

    Now what I used to believe was the hotdog-girl story told to me in Jr. high. The name of the girl was unimportant. It was the details that sold it.

    What this story was, was a tale about a girl was masturbating with a hotdog and it ended up breaking up inside of her. She freaked out and got into body discomfort and pains and her parents then subsequently took her to the hospital to have the Oscar Mier removed from her privates. The embarassment
    and humiliation of all of it...

    .... Until many years later, I was at a house party and retelling the same story I was told to a captive audience - And someone spoke up and said "Oh yeah, I heard about the hotdog girl! EVERYONE has!". The hotdog girl was any girl who was unpopular, well, they were the ones the story was all about in some demented version of a he-said she-said rumor.

    In other words - all bullshit, but mannnnn it was believable when it was told at the time.
