I too heard about Mountain Dew shrinking your balls in 6th grade (due to Yellow 5 dye or something). I also recall on an early episode of PTT (or Retry) where Gav told the horrific urban legend that ends with the dead dog and, “humans can lick hands too”, and that was being passed around my elementary school in the mid-90s in South Florida.
