Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 24, 2023

Wow. Three food and animal tidbits all in the same comic.

Proper table settings must now include knife, fork, spoon, flyswatter and mouse trap, which may not leave you with much cheese to eat!

Friend: What do ya got?

Me: We’ve got this new soda called ‘Princess Di.’ It’s a tribute to Princess Diana

Friend: Got anything else?

Me: Just Mountain Dew.

Friend: So those are my only two options?

Me: It’s Dew or Di.

I remember my Dad putting dimes bent enough to fit through the neck (back when dimes were still Silver) of a glass bottle of Dr. Pepper, maybe Pepsi and re-capping the bottle with a bottle capper so it’d be sealed tight. If I’m remembering right, in 10 days the dime would be dissolved! I do remember in 4 or 5 days they’d be getting pitted and thinner. That’s been a lot of years ago.

I’m starting to have second thoughts about condiments now. Is it that hard to make sure there’s none of those at all? Especially the excrement and fly eggs, yuck!

Also about that fact regarding the mouse in mountain dew, more like mountain ew…

Four rodent hairs is one thing but how much rodent poop in 16oz of peanut butter?

If food prices keep rising, the five second rule will be replaced by the “not fuzzy yet” rule.

I have never seen rodent hairs in my peanut butter.

30 insect fragments per 100 grams. (16 oz = 454 grams)

Mountain Dew was invented in a small town in southern Virginia – “Marion Va” Believe it or Not.

Dr Pepper was invented in 1885 by a pharmacist in Waco, Texas, a year before Coca-Cola. Believe It or Not.

Actually Sue Pepsi was in my 10th grade social studies class. Heck of a gal. I used to play connect-a-dot with the freckles on her back. Never thought she’d make it into Ripley’s Believe It Or Not though.

Take care, may famed Greek gastroenterologist Alimentary “Either End And All That Is In Between” Canalord be with you, and gesundheit.

I’ll have some toast and mouse-jelly, please

¯\( ͠° ͟ʖ ͠°)/¯ ewww! How is that even legal??? Good grief! There oughta be a law…oh wait,. .there is, and it obviously allows such swill to be produced and sold. Gross! (꒪ȏ꒪;)

I may never look at certain foods the same way again. Rodent hairs and fly eggs…ick!

Jack Dempsey would work out with one hand tied behind his back,so he could develop equal punching power in both hands

Great. More things I won’t be eating.

Why do I get the feeling that this suspension business is the result of comments that were considered “off color”?

Now why the %#@&! Would you print those facts? One more day like today and I’m unfollowing!

I found five rodent hairs in my peanut butter this morning.

Two peanuts walked into a bar.

And this is why Monsanto needs to be STOPPED.

Mountain Dew’s argument is sort of “out of the frying pan, into the soda can.”

Food products aren’t regulated in the same way as medical products. Just because food is allowed a maximum amount of filth doesn’t mean it contains it, so stop worrying.

I see your post(s). But do you see mine, or is managemental still lying about not blocking me?

EEEEEWWWWW.

Well, RBION has certainly set a standard, today!

Snopes checked the dissolved mouse story: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/mountain-ewww/ . Dr. Yan-Fang Ren": “But dissolving [the mouse] does not mean it will disappear, because you’ll still have the collagen and the soft tissue part. It will be like rubber.”

When I was in my teens, I put a wishbone from a chicken into vinegar for a several weeks. The calcium was dissolved. It still looked like a bone, but I was able to bend it and twist it.

Avian flu happened.

Welcome to RBION’s special gross-out episode!

He should have sued because there was jelly in his Mountain Dew.

Next thing you know, there will be tolerances for hairy flying mouse eggs!

A man is having a bowl of soup at a diner, and complains to the waitress – “Excuse me, ma’am, but there’s a fly in my soup.”

The waitress comes over him, and shushes him, saying:

“Shhh. Quiet, or everyone else will want one, too.”

A bird walks into a restaurant, orders and gets a bowl of soup.After a minute, the bird angrily calls the waiter:

“Waiter! There is no fly in my soup!”

“Waiter, waiter, there’s a fly in my soup!”

Waiter: “Don’t worry Sir, the spider in your salad will get it.”

You should look up how many bug parts/rodent feces are allowed to be in a box of cereal. I don’t eat cereal anymore.

That so sickness to seeing and reading about it !Make me feeling sick in tummy road over it !

Todays entry should be titled…Believe It and Barf.
