Have you ever heard of the Visine trick? Its thought that putting a little Visine in someone's drink will put them to sleep.

I turned into a little junior Mythbuster yesterday. I figured eye drops cant be all that bad for you since you put them in your eyes. And since I didn't have anything better to do, I could devote the day to sleeping. So I poured a few drops (okay more like 10) into a 1\4 full energy drink and got to drinking.

Halfway through the concoction, though, a little red light went off in my head as I realized that maybe drinking Visine wasn't the smartest idea. And a quick search online confirmed my fears: Visine can KILL you, kids!

So of course Im shitting bricks because I know I've consumed at least 5 drops and it doesn't take much to make you sick. It is POISON, after all.

For a few moments, I sat in absolute terror. I wanted to tell someone so they could keep an eye out for me. Maybe give a sistah a shake, just to make sure I hadn't passed out or choked on my own vomit. But I knew what I had done was so absolutely stupid that I couldn't tell anybody.

I chugged as much water as possible to dilute the effects. And then I fell asleep (so I guess it DID work). When I woke up the shit hit the fan.

I felt miserably nauseous. Like, I-wish-i-would-throw-up-already-and-end-this-pain nauseous. And I felt oddly cold, even though I was wearing street clothes, laying under a comforter, and my skin was incredibly warm to the touch. You know how you can feel so sick that no matter how grown or strong you are you just curl up in the fetal position hugging yourself and whimpering for your mommy? That's how I felt.

The feeling went away after a few hours, thankfully.

Moral of the story: leave the mythbusting to professionals. And eyedrops are poison, so don't spike someones drink with them. You will go to jail.

Glad you learned your lesson, but pllleeeeeeeeeeeeaaase don't ever do that shit again. Drink some nyquil, smoke a blunt, just don't do anything that dangerous.

But LOL@ the story though. Sounds like some shit I'd have done in my undergrad days, you know 'just to see what happens and what not"

Glad you're aight though

Tried it on someone. I used a large bottle.. Didn't work a bit.. A WHOLE BOTTLE!! Now I'm sure alot of you have seen the Wedding Crashers. Bradley Cooper was out of it the whole day... Vomiting, Diarrhea, etc. I'm surprised they would use that in the movie if it doesn't work any more.

Don't mention God in a rage filled rant, in which you wished physical harm to one of His creations. Go have a seat. I'm sure you smash bugs all the time. I mean, you're clearly cruel, judgmental and low IQ. Easy to freak on a complete stranger. You simple thing, you. Cherish the dog, attack the human, huh? You are a major contribution to the growing inferiority of humans...bravo.

There are crazy people out there & I am also a victim of being around a lady I thought was a friend . She knew I had a pocket full of $100 bills . We were waiting for a fried to swing by , I owed him $800 dollars & he was gonna be a couple of hours late . So I rented a room for 3 hours & this lady put visine in my Ozarka water bottle & when I woke up the room was tossed , all my money was gone & I didn't wanna see her because she would not have knew who she was when she woke up . I never want to see her again . People told me she won't recover from them when they catch her . God help me to forgive but not forget ...
