The “Pop Rocks Killed Mikey” of Abortion Stories

Patriot Retort:

If you’re my age or thereabouts, you probably remember that 1970s urban legend about how Mikey from the Life cereal commercials succumbed after ingesting a deadly combination of Pop Rocks and soda.

If you’re nowhere near my age, you may not have heard of it at all, so permit me to recap.

Pop Rocks was a candy that crackled when you put it in your mouth. And sometime during the 1970s, a rumor started spreading that the cute little boy, Mikey from the Life cereal commercials ate pop rocks and then drank a soda, and the combination was so toxic that his stomach exploded and he died.

Yeah. It never happened.

But you know how urban legends go.

The “Pop Rocks Killed Mikey” story spread like wildfire.

The rumor grew so prevalent that in 1979, General Foods was forced to run full-page ads in dozens of major publications letting consumers know that the Pop Rocks/soda combo was totally safe.

Imagine if, from the podium at the White House, then-President Jimmy Carter had brought up the tragic story of how Pop Rocks killed Mikey as a way to drive home a point on a particular issue Carter was flogging.

That’s what happened on Friday from the Biden White House.

  1. I was a child of the 70s. I remember pop rocks were painful when you dumped the entire bag in your mouth.

    I bought them again when I was abut 35 years old and found them, frankly, disgusting.

    I’m sure y’all remember when sour balls were SOUR — painfully sour. The garbage these days…

  2. Never heard the pop rocks story. Heard that the leave it to beaver kid went to nam, became a sniper and went crazy.

    Kaptain Kangaroo? War criminal.

    Jerry Brown was the Zodiac killer.

    The guys in Devo were actual retards.

    Romper Room lady was in Deep Throat.

    Bear from BJ and the Bear used to be played by a kid who got ran over by the truck.

    But no pop rock stories.

  3. So, did anyone ask him if the raper was one of The Party’s favored few who were in Epstein’s book who we don’t know the names of? Is that why this important detail was left out.

    Did they ask him if him, since you know so much, would he also like to share which member of his immediate family was involved in the incident leading up to this “tragedy?”

    If not, why not. I can guarandamntee you if I had been there those questions would have been asked.

  4. I do remember that Mikey supposedly died from pop rocks and soda. It was the talk of school bus 206E for a few months. But had he ingested six bags of pop rocks, and six sodas, he probably died from sugar shock. Anyway, nobody really gave a shit about Mikey.

  5. What about the red head kid from sigmund and the sea monsters? He did those post raisin bran commercials.

    He was actually……ONE OF THE MANSON FAMILY CHILDREN!!!!

  6. So, let’s assume for a moment that the story is true. So because one person had to drive one state over to abort a baby, we should go back to roe and kill another 60 million?

  7. … & it’s a bit too coincidental that Abortionist Caitlin claims that Ohio has a 6-week cut-off, but the child was 6 weeks, 3 days (btw, Ohio has no such cut-off) & all abortion requests must be documented by Abortion Drs in Ohio & none has been found, so far. Jessie Watters crew called all 6,000 Abortion provider ghouls & not one of them claimed a 10-year-old rape victim

    this frickin’ story is as made-up as Kavanaugh getting teenage girls drunk at a party by passing out Solo cups

    these shitweasels have nothing left but lies … same as the National Socialists & the Communists
    … two pieces of shit, scraped of the treads of the Chuck Taylor’s of humanity, hanging off both ends of a popsicle stick

  8. btw, someone needs to start an Urban Legend True or False thread

    True or False:
    porn legend Marilyn Chambers was the ‘Ivory Soap Girl’ on the Ivory Soap box
    Ronald Reagan saved over 50 people’s lives as a lifeguard
    President John Kennedy had a 19-year-old female intern, who he had sex w/, made her have sex w/ a male White House aide so he could watch
    President Bill Clinton had regular oral sex w/ a 19-year-old female intern in the Oval Office
    pResident Biden, as Vice-President, always skinny-dipped in the Naval Observatory pool (the official resident of the VP) when female Secret Service agents were assigned to guard him
    Barry Obama is a homo & his ‘kids’ were rented … much like ‘Big Moose’
    Kammie Kacalogica’s I.Q is actually below Joe Biden’s, which is actually below the intelligence of a sea slug … but she gives better head

    having too much fun w/ this one … I could go on & on …. & on & on … & …

  9. Speaking of Pop Rocks, there was a time when the media would diligently turn over every rock to find a real Cornpop for Fibber Malarkey. I think that time has passed. They’ve all got that Thousand Yard Stare now, and they just shuffle out of the pressers, too shell-shocked to protest when the White House crew rewrites the aded transcripts to reflect what Joe should have said.

    The journos don’t even bother with a weak “fake but accurate” as they pass the buck to the fact-checkers. It’s just a matter of time before all the writers quit and The Biden Show is canceled. But the spinoff is going to be even worse.

  10. Abortion like its other evil precursor slavery will more than likely be the catalyst and spark for the next Civil War in America. Especially if the left comes completely unhinged in the blue states demanding that abortion be codified into federal law by joey’s illegal, unconstitutional executive order to make abortion the law of the land, no matter what. This means war and the left are the ones who have declared it so. God wins, they lose, they just don’t know it yet.

  11. And speaking of interstate travel and my body, my choice, remember this from last year?

    “In efforts to further enforce coronavirus rules and regulations, Joe Biden is considering a vaccine mandate for interstate travel.”

    So tell your little tale, creepy old man. You’re more of a threat to anyone’s rights than the Supreme Court.

  12. Well, after a night of whores, boozing, cocaine, and about a ton of messican food, I took a massive shit – and thus was the origin of B. Hussein Obama!

    That’s why there’s no birth certificate.
