Chewing Gum Explosion Kills Student [NEWS]

Did you know that dipping your chewing gum in the wrong substances could result in blowing your own jaw off ? Nope, neither did I, which is why I was intrigued upon hearing a story that a 25 year old student named Vladimir Likhonos has tragically been killed after his chewing gum blew up as he was eating it due to a violent chemical reaction.

Reports claim that the chemistry student from the Ukraine had a habit of dipping his chewing gum in powdered citric acid, yet it is believed that Vladimir dipped his chewing gum in the wrong fluid which resulted in an explosive outcome that the victims parents described as 'a loud pop'. It has not yet been revealed what the 'mystery substance' that caused the reaction was. Elvira Biganova, a police spokeswoman for the police stated "Anybody could have mixed them up".
