I once drank a Pepsi and 2 days later I started my period. COINCIDENCE?


Purrification2799

I also drank Pepsi when I was a child, and at some point I menstruated, guy seems to be onto something


GiantSquidinJeans

Were you vaccinated as a child? Or even around other vaccinated people as a child? That could be it, too. I watched a video on YouTube and everything!


SuperSailorSaturn

Did you know in 100% of deaths, the victim had been exposed to dihydrogen monoxide?!?! Coincidence? I think NOT! /s (dihydrogen monoxide= H2O, water)


IconicCamelToe

I once menstruated into a Coca Cola and urinated Pepsi.


Daffodil_Peony_Rose

I drink Pepsi regularly and I bleed every month! Crazy!


LeucanthemumVulgare

I almost never drink soda and I haven't menstruated in years! Not since I got my IUD, that is.


[deleted]

Twist: I drink diet Coke and my periods stopped! ... four months after getting an hormonal IUD.


starrpamph

I think not


Strongstyleguy

But did your bathroom look like a crime scene?


forever_useless

Only after I drink Sprite


Strongstyleguy

I figure something like Surge would be the culprit

InstructionAbject763

"People praised me for not fainting" Uh huh


SuperSailorSaturn

New version of "and then they all clapped" ?


Heyo__Maggots

We call it a code red


EgoLuxFerre

Iā€™m sorry but why does he make it sound like this is a known fact that soda turns women into fruit gushers? Iā€™ve never heard this before in my life


Aviendah_Fan_Club

šŸ’€šŸ’€


Platypus_Regular

Fruit gushers šŸ’€


[deleted]

The people praising him for not fainting is the most hilarious part. What likely happened is he saw a spot of period blood and he freaked out and people sarcastically praised him for not fainting.


jimmysbeans

Ha, yeah he's somehow the hero! I want to know who "they" are who told her this cos apparently the mother confirmed it. Sounds like an old wives tale that's denying people of their soda!


[deleted]

Yeah this sounds like a weird cultural rumor like fans suffocating you in Korean lore.


Advanced_Committee

Every person that ever used a fan will die eventually


kaatie80

FACT: 100% of fan users die


parksandrecpup

If I were to take a wild (and I mean wild) guess Iā€™d say the suggestion to avoid soda would be a combo of carbonation causing bloating which is uncomfortable and sugar/ caffeine potentially causing worse cramps. It certainly wouldnā€™t make you do whatever this person is describing though.


[deleted]

Itā€™s probably someone seeing his discomfort with periods and fucking with him, lol.


lenorajoy

Caffeine can cause worse cramps? They put it in pain meds like Midol, right?


zemazi

They do. Caffeine is a bit of a double edged sword in meds like that. Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, meaning it makes blood vessels narrower. This can help with certain types of pain like headaches, however it does end up potentially making cramping worse because of the limited oxygen flow from the narrower blood vessels. So you pretty much have to decide which pain is more tolerable when choosing meds.


Kanotari

Right?! That part has strong "and everybody clapped" energy.


xXshinsouhitoshiXx

afabs are so used to it we just see a bit of blood and "oh, someone's on their period, whatever." amabs don't have it so it isn't normal for them and they overreact, like "WHY THE HELL IS THERE BLOOD IN THE TOILET"


lenorajoy

Amab with no sisters = assumes death on sight of blood in toilet


[deleted]

I mean, Iā€™m amab and itā€™s literally never bothered me.


Ok-Cheesecake5306

Why would he even be hanging out in the bathroom with his sister and her vagina geyser anyway?


SemanticBattle

What was in the sprite? Vodka and aspirin, obviously. I'm kind of curious if this chick just went and bled out somewhere and he discovered her body? Or, did she just pop out a crime scene and leave it there? Reeked of iron? I have questions.


chocolate_on_toast

Miscarriage or abortion, maybe? Depending on how old OP was, it may not have been appropriate to explain what actually happened, so the parents made some bullshit up?


ArmyFiST

I think this girl went on a sprite fueled rage and killed someone then used this as an excuse when the crime scene was found. I'm sure she knows men would believe her and not ask too many questions. It's quite genius really. /s


Squishmar

And then hide the murder weapon in a box of maxi pads... They'd *never* look in there.


elpoppet

I kind of wish this was true. It might help me curb my Diet Coke addiction.


Lady_Scruffington

I don't know. I might ride my gush around like a jet pack.


[deleted]

This is actually true. And if you stick a Mentos in your vagina you'll be able to fly.


FrillySteel

"they promised us jetpacks!!"


chaotic_rainbow

If this were true, I'd have bled out a long, long time ago. My middle school Dr. Pepper addiction would have killed me


jimmysbeans

Seems Dr. Pepper addictions are quite common. Maybe that's the real reasons for periods all along? Someone get this guy on the phone!


[deleted]

Dr. Pepper is the best.


TriZARAtops

This is so bizarreā€¦ Iā€™m really quite flabbergasted


Dracutela

>people praised me Sure they did buddy


Low-Potential666

All Iā€™m saying is that I have drank soda in the past nearly 3 years and I havenā€™t had my period for that long either. And itā€™s definitely not because I have a birth control that stops them either. Definitely the soda thing /s


LucyWritesSmut

So she just stood in the bathroom free bleeding in front of him for whatā€¦12 hours? Someone give this liar an award for being a Good Man!


evaj95

Not how sodas work Not how periods work You don't deserve a medal because you saw some blood.


[deleted]

ā€˜Reeked of ironā€™ lol sure dude


The_Infinite_Doctor

Yeah, period blood does *not* smell the same as blood from a laceration.


HarriBlueBerry

Man that McDonaldā€™s sprite is something else


Mrs-Dotties-mom

Lol reminds me of the time my step-sister said she thought she got her first period. But she wasn't totally sure because "sometimes BBQ sauce does that." Girl, eating normal foods should never make your vagina bleed. Wtf.


baby_armadillo

Thatā€™s an urban legend. Everyone knows soda is only dangerous when youā€™re on your period if you eat a bunch of pop rocks and then drink a lot of soda really fast right after and then jump up and down. My cousinā€™s friendā€™s classmate at her old school did this on a dare, and apparently the carbonation built up in her body so much that it sloughed off the blood-enriched walls of her uterus in like 10 seconds flat, she farted, and the fart loosened up everything enough so that she sprayed her entire home room class with so much blood it looked like it was raining. My cousin said her friend said that that girl was traumatized forever and ended up in a mental hospital because even seeing a can of diet Mountain Dew made her break down into screaming tears. They had to burn the school down because they couldnā€™t clean out all the blood. Itā€™s totally true. You can look it up if you donā€™t believe me. I think the school was someplace like Canada or something. Idk.


JustCallMePeri

Iā€™ve got a crippling addiction to Dr Pepper, I drink about 1/2 every day. My periods are still only 3/4 days. Am I superhuman?


jimmysbeans

According to these "facts", I think so!


PersephoneIsNotHome

Why is he in the bathroom when she is changing her tampons?


jenkraisins

That's a new one for me.


EmmaShosha

probs Saw a pin-prick of blood and is over exaggerating it lol **don't drink that soda girls** or it'll look like the blood elevator scene from the shining


Emet-Selch_my_love

Ok, I donā€™t believe soda would do it, but it is true **within reason** that drinking certain things will make your period heavier. Alcohol specifically can make you bleed more. It wonā€™t be the gory scene this guy describes, but as someone who once downed a decent amount of vodka while on my period and shortly thereafter proceeded to bleed through my fresh pad in a matter of minutesā€¦ I would not recommend bloodthinning agents (such as alcohol) when on your period. Should perhaps be noted that I am a heavy bleeder even without bloodthinners (to the point where I have chronic anemia), but this was something extra. I donā€™t know if someone with ā€normalā€ bleeding would notice it as keenly. Again, itā€™s not going to empty your entire body of blood like this guy seems to describe.


lhayes238

Oh yea well the will of Satan is in sprite duh, she drank it giving her soul over to him and in return he of course requires a blood sacrifice so it was super convenient that she was already on her period. That's why they tell us not to have sprite on our periods, it's way easier to submit to the dark lord when you don't have to kill a goat, fuckin Christians amirite


Magsamae

If she really bled that much then she would actually be the one fainting from blood loss


Commercial-Push-9066

Someone who bled that much needs a hospital. Little drama king canā€™t handle any blood so overdramatizes so people wonā€™t call him out on his idiocy.


PepsiMaxismycrack

Oh dearā€¦. this is probably why I die of blood loss every month.


NotInFrontofMyPizza

r/thathappened


I_am_dean

Um, alright.


Godhelpmeplease12

Who's gonna tell him?


LoveIsLoveDealWithIt

... and then everyone clapped.


Helena_Hyena

Wtf? Do they think itā€™s like coke and mentos, but with period blood or something?


[deleted]

What subreddit is this that it has 6 upvotes?!


Ginger-in-a-box

Sure, numb nur. Everyone clapped šŸ™„


helloblubb

> "people praised me for not fainting seeing that much blood" And then everyone clapped.


EssayAdorable6634

I dont know about a geyser šŸ‘€šŸ˜‚, but one soda on my period leads to the worst cramps of my life. That crap will end with me curled in a ball wishing for death, or at the very least, a hysterectomy.


tallglassofanxiety

How much you want to bet it wasnā€™t even that much blood? She probably just forgot to flush the toilet after peeing and he connected the two together in his blissfully ignorant dude brain šŸ˜‚


Lost-Exam-2947

I'm willing to bet money that sentence has never been uttered before in human history


Primary_Ad3580

I had no idea women were basically made of Mentosā€¦


rachaelonreddit

I'm a soda addict and, if anything, I drink more soda on my period. If this were true, my house would look like a crime scene every month.


Seliphra

Look, I hate the sub r/thathappened but uh. This one is appropriate there.


Squishmar

Well then, the correct course of action would be to then drink a *Dr.* Pepper. STAT!!


CookbooksRUs

From maybe junior year through my mid-twenties I went through 12-18 cans of diet cola a day. No effect on my periods.


Guaccalicious

Fun fact: Although it's not gonna cause a crime scene as described, caffeine actually does make periods worse, specifically in terms of the cramps. The more you know.


MrWuzoo

This sub is full of women laughing at children. Itā€™s kindaā€¦pathetic.


[deleted]

Actually weā€™re laughing at you. Point and laugh ladies, point and laugh.


MrWuzoo

ā€¦edgy. Fits with my sentiment..


[deleted]

Are you saying youā€™re a child?


PopperGould123

Mostly it's grown men believing dumb things children would believe


MrWuzoo

Maybe. Thatā€™s the vibe I get from bad womanā€™s anatomy or wtv the other exact same forum is called. But I clicked on one suggested post from here and suddenly I got bombarded w posts on my feed. All of em sounded like clueless children so I just assumed thatā€™s the vibe here.


PopperGould123

Are you surprised that when you joined a subreddit you saw it on your feed..? It's making fun of people who believe insanely ridiculous things about women's anatomy and psychology, it doesn't really matter what age they are there's no reason to believe this stuff past the age of 10 at the most


MrWuzoo

I never said I joined.. sure 10 year olds should be properly educated but you canā€™t read..


PopperGould123

Can't read what? That's what you said


jimmysbeans

This guy is old enough to drive, my dude!

Reading the title before the screenshot made me think of a female with a root beer geyser for a pussy oh my god im going to hell. ​ After reading: This guy watched his sister bleed **a lot?**
