Tag: Social media rumors

In the early 2000s, a viral rumor alleging Kurkure contained plastic spread rapidly across social media platforms and messaging apps, causing widespread concern among consumers. Videos showing the snack burning when lit with a flame were often used as 'proof,' convincing many people of its supposed plastic content. However, this claim has been officially and scientifically debunked multiple times.

Despite a viral flurry of social media posts claiming otherwise, there is no nationwide ban on the popular rolled tortilla chip, Takis. The misconception that Takis are being banned stems from a combination of isolated school policies, ingredient-focused legislative efforts, and widespread online misinformation.
