Urban Legend Essay

ATTETON!!!!!!! HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS!!!!! That’s how most urban legends get spread. So One Day we had to do research on what urban legends are and many examples of them. So what is an urban legend you ask? Well an urban legend is a story that it is passed from mouth to mouth, through e-mail and txt massages but is not sure if it’s true or not, but most believes that they are true. There are a lot of urban legends out their three examples of an urban examples are.

The First example of an urban legend is something I like to call coke-cane
It was a rumor going around that the coco-cola that we love today use to contain one of the most deadly drugs in the world. Cocaine most people didn’t believe that but according to snoops. Com and a lot of research I come to find out that coco cola use to have cocaine in it to use as a medicine. But how did thy have such a bad drug cure someone illness? When cocaine alone gets people sick and can kills them. It just doesn’t make sense to me. But Later on they took it out and made coca cola a popular drink that we love today.


The Second Example of an urban legend is that in the month of January is the perfect month to break up with your spouse. I personally believe that this is true. Because every year people break up rite after Christmas because they got their gift and it’s about to be spring and that’s when everyone become single and just enjoy there self for the good weather. But some people think the best time to break up with your Boy friend &Girl friend around the middle of February because of the season change. And you don’t have to have nobody breathing down your back in the summer time. And get them back around the fall time right when school start back up. Well that’s just how people around me do it.
My third and last urban legend is the old yellow five myths. About two years ago a little rumor came around that if you drink Mountain Dew or eat hot cheetos( or any thing with Yellow 5 in it) They penis would get smaller and they well produce less sperm cells. For A long time men were afraid to drink or eat anything with yellow 5 in it. They ended up taking this to the real scientist and did some research and this is not true THANK GOD!!! Because I like drinking Mountain Dew and Lemon heads.

These were three examples that I thought was right to describe what an urban legends was I heard most of these urban legends from school or forwarded text massages. And that’s how most of the urban legends get so much controversy in the media and the public. So nest time your best friend or your crazy aunt try to tell you something crazy like you can get cancer from microwaving plastics and food get cancer. Don’t just up and believe them or just don’t be like “man whatever”. Try to do some research on it and see rather if it was true or not.
