Denied "Green Poop"

edit
  • Burger King's Halloween Burger(Whopper) causes Green poop. Not just dark green, but a bright leprecon green! A few people think the A-1 sauce is the cause to green poop, but another possibility is the food coloring that is used to create the black bun effect. A variety of food coloring is used and among them is Blue num. 1 aka "brilliant blue." The thing about this blue is the intestines cannot absorb this and as a result comes out as green poop. Blue num. 1, when combined with yellow dye can create a green dye. In this case the unabsorbed blue dye was combined with bile and as a result green poop[1 1]Burger King's has reported that all their ingredients are FDA approved and that there is less than 1% of dye used in their food.[1] -RTung

Heya guys I finished checking all the sources from the internet phenomena pages. Feel free to double check if I made any mistakes. I listed them by their source numbers to make it easier and I checked whether or not that reference was the only source for that subject. For the ones that are, I've listed them and wrote "only source". For these I think that we can try to find a source to replace it. I was also thinking that we can bring up this list in the talk page when we are done with it ( depending on how much we want to do on it first). -RTung

Juxtaposition

edit

The Kylie Jenner lip challenge photos are a great example for juxtaposition. The photo of a fan's bruised lips compared to Kylie's lip injections is a powerful visual for the dangerous side effects of the lip challenge and how some fans go to great lengths to mimic their favorite celebrities. This following link exemplifies the juxtaposition. [28] --Gmferr

Refutation for Silento - Whip and Nae Nae

edit

There are many examples of the growth and spread of the Whip and Nae Nae dance. This Time magazine article shows elementary school students partaking in the viral dance moves. [29] Celebrities are involved, too. Jimmy Fallon did the whip and nae nae dance in his extremely popular Lip Sync' Battles. [30] I think these links, and many more, show that this dance went viral this summer. --Gmferrr
