Outline
Circulating messages request people to save all types of bottle caps because the caps can be exchanged for free cancer treatment for children.
Brief Analysis
The claims in the message are untrue. Bottle caps cannot be exchanged for free chemotherapy sessions or any other form of cancer treatment. The supposed charity drive is a hoax that began in the United States in 2008. Reposting this false and misleading information will do nothing whatsoever to help children with cancer.
