Outline:
Circulating message warns that drinking Pepsi and eating Mentos together will lead to instant death because the mixture turns into cyanide poison.
Brief Analysis:
The claims in the message are untrue. Combining Pepsi (or Coke) and Mentos will create a rather spectacular chemical reaction and consuming the two together might cause a stomach upset. However, there are no credible reports that support the claim that it could cause death or serious injury. And the claim that the products magically turn into cyanide is utter nonsense. The ‘warning’ is just a resurrected version of a very old hoax that first began circulating around a decade ago.
Example:
Consumption of PEPSI after consuming POLO MENTOS leads to instant death as this mixture turns into cynide poison.Don’t drink Pesi/Cola after eating polo mentos. plz pass this information to as many people as possible specially children!!!!
