An urban legend is a secondhand story told as true and can be used as a cautionary tale that’s supposedly happened to a real people and is folklore. Urban legends are told many ways. Urban legends can be told by friend to friend, a person making up a story, text messaging, notes, emails, and any form of communication.
Dust Off:
The urban legend of if you can die from huffing dust off? Is true. For example, a father bought three cans of dust off for his computer business and noticed all three were gone in a few weeks. He asked his sons and they said that they used them for their computers. He then bought a jumbo can of dust off and put it by his computer. The next morning while the father was at work the mother went to go wake up their son Kyle for school he was sitting up in his bed with his head hung-over. The mother said he had played jokes like this before. She went over and shook him and Kyle fell over, pale white and dead with the red tip of the dust-off can in his mouth and the jumbo can in hand. Kyle was declared dead and had died around twelve or one in the morning the night before from huffing dust-off.
Munchkin Suicide:
In the movie The Wizard Of Oz there had been some speculation about a munchkin committing suicide in the background of a scene. The scene is at the end of getting the tin man if you had looked in the background where there was woods you would have seen a person climbing up a tree and hanging themselves. It is not true. They say that to make more of a outdoor feel to the movie they had many large birds from the Los Angeles zoo roam. The so-called hanging munchkin was just a emu spreading his wings and flying off. The muchkin hanging was just a urban legend.
Cocaine Cola:
the classic soda drink Coca-Cola is said to once contain cocaine. It was named in 1885 for its two ingredients, coca leaves and kola nuts. It had some trace of cocaine in its formula. Over the years less cocaine was found in it. By 1902 1/400 of a grain was found in one ounce of syrup. By 1929 there was no cocaine left in coke. They took all cocaine out of all beverages which was used to give a buzz but could be harmful. The story of cocaine in coca cola is once in fact true.
