Myth Busters

I read on the bottom of a bottle cap a few weeks ago that if you chew gum while cutting onions you won't cry.

Tonight I made a bean dip which contains onions, so I was excited to try this theory out - sure that if this "fact" were on a bottle cap it must certainly be true and I could conquer bawling my eyes out while cutting onions.

The gum worked for approximately 34 seconds, after which I was my usual self, crying my eyes out. It is a croc I say!! I wish I could remember what it was that I was drinking so I could call them and complain that they lied to me.

Here's a depiction of what I looked like... and now you know. The gum theory sucks.

  1. Myth Busters said that if you have eye protection to block the pore/ fumes if helps.
    The government, on the other hand, spent $5million on the best way to cut an onion and came to no certain conclusion.
