"So gullible? This story is completely made up. On TikTok, anyone can tell you anything, so make sure to check the facts for yourself first."
Absourdity 1: "You shouldn't eat brown Bananas"
Avoid eating brown bananas if their peel has been treated with pesticides. As bananas ripen, their peel becomes thinner, allowing pesticides to seep into the flesh, which you then consume.
Absourdity 2: "Use Coca-Cola instead of Windshield washer fluid"
You can use Coca-Cola as windshield washer fluid for your car. The high concentration of phosphoric acid makes the windows sparkling clean. Plus, the brown color of cola provides automatic UV protection. Just be sure to use Cola-Zero, as regular Cola has too much sugar.
Absurdity 3: "Dachshunds used to be shorter."
Through selective breeding and sometimes brutal methods during birth puppies were often forcibly pulled from the birth canal. This gradual process led to the formation of additional vertebrae in their spines over time. The shocking result: the dachshund we know today is much longer than it used to be.
Absurdity 4: "If you have Tattoos, there is a higher chance that you could get struck by lightning."
When a thunderstorm hits, people with tattoos should be careful. Tattoo ink has tiny metal particles in it, which aren’t just bad for your health—they can also attract lightning because of their magnetic charge.
This campaign was almost like an experiment. We wanted to see if the fast-paced environment of social media allows us to make people believe these absurd stories. The results were telling. The comments under our videos reveal how few people actually watch until the end and how many truly believe what we created. This highlights the critical need for greater awareness and skepticism when consuming content online.
