These are no fun anymore considering how plausible they are.

The word mysterious ruins it for me. They always know damn well what it is. They will chug pesticide knowing full well its pesticide because these clowns told them to do it

Pesticide can have no effect on humans. In fact, it's generally a desirable attribute of pesticide to not affect humans, to be a poison that only affects the target.

These People Took DDT Pills In the 1970s to Prove it Was Safe

In 1971 two people in North Hollywood started eating DDT pills every day. That’s right, they willingly swallowed 10mg of poison every single day for three months. In front of witnesses.

That doesn't mean anything. You can swallow 10mg of cyanide and not feel anything. I still don't want it sprayed everywhere.
