E-Mail Hoax Alert!
Keep your eye on your inboxes, folks! There are some unscrupulous people out there who are just dying to play you for a fool. Here’s this week’s e-mail hoax alert:
The hoax:
The body of the e-mail reads, “Fierce Melon Gatorade is more fierce than you’d think. The USDA is issuing a warning that this new flavor, although delicious and thirst-quenching, can be deadly. Flavor agents in the drink have been linked to cancer, ringworm, and legionnaire’s disease. Also, many bottles of this beverage were found to contain the eggs of the brown recluse spider, one of nature’s deadliest assassins. Additionally, many depraved persons have been discovered placing HIV-infected needles on specially-marked caps in such a way that they stick you when you open them and you get AIDS and die. Plus this one kid that my cousin knows drank some of that new Gatorade after eating Cool Ranch Doritos and he vomited blood for like a week until he just died. They said his stomach literally exploded in his body. I swear to God. Also there is a recent report, I think I saw it on CNN about how a woman contracted this crazy bad disease because there was dried rat urine on the Gatorade bottle. And, Gatorade has tons of sodium.”
The truth:
Far from being “delicious”, Gatorade actually tastes like ass.

Unh unh. The original lemon flavored Gatoraide is quite tastey.
Or was that urine?
Hey, there's no I in Gatorade!
Is it in you?
Yeah? Well, up yours John.
Or should I say, 7-up yours.
