Where is Rick Moranis when we REALLY need him?

4. To be fair, the article does say that the soda can contained some kind

of green cleanser or something, but the surreality of seeing this headline on cnn.com was just too good to ignore:

Bubbly soda can sets off alert at Penn Station

7. Isn't that what Mountain Dew is made from?

BE AFRAID, VERY AFRAID

10. Yeah, it sounds like that to me too, but they said it was specifically

contained a green lye-like substance. Or else it was just Mountain Dew, and now they are covering their butt...

quoting 2 paragraphs:

A police source told CNN's Jeanne Meserve that initial tests on the green bubbly substance found in the can indicate it is a green dye mixed with sodium hydroxide -- also known as caustic soda or lye. It appears to be a hoax, the source said.

Sodium hydroxide is used in many cleaners. It can be poisonous if ingested and can cause severe burns if it gets on someone's skin or in their eyes.

11. "Green Cleanser" was the original name for Mountain Dew.

It didn't take the ad boys very long, though, to figure out their mistake.

5. Are we supposed to drink it flat now

to stay safe? :crazy:

[Javaman]

14. I'm stock piling it right now!!

This is proof that the soda cartel conspiracy to get rid of the highly popular over caffeinated drink is true!

Who cares what it tastes like, it's just drink it and shut up!! LOL

6. They have to drink over there so we don't have to drink it here.

[dogday]

[MuseRider]

9. You have got to be kidding me.
