Exploding Chewing Gum Blows Off Student's Jaw

[Eggyman]

A chemistry student has been found dead with his jaw blown off by what is believed to be exploding chewing gum, reports have said.

The 25-year-old's disfigured remains were discovered at his parent's home in the northern Ukrainian city of Konotop, reports in the Eastern European country said.
The young man, who studied at Kiev Polytechnic Institute, was working at a computer late on Saturday when the alleged explosion happened.
"A loud pop was heard from the student's room," the ukranews.com website said, citing an aide to the city's police chief.
"When his relatives entered the room, they saw that the lower part of the young man's face had been blown off."
A forensic examination established that the chewing gum was covered with an unidentified chemical substance, thought to be some type of explosive material.
The student apparently had a bizarre habit of chewing gum after dipping it into citric acid, Russian news agency Ria Novosti said.
Officers found both citric acid packets and a similar-looking unidentified substance, believed to be some kind of explosive material, on a table near the body, the agency continued.
Investigators suspect that the student simply confused the packets and put gum covered with explosive material into his mouth.
Forensic experts were to travel from Kiev to investigate the substance, as local authorities feared it may explode if transported.

No Mr Bond, I expect you to chew

What a way to die... having something explode in your mouth

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Damn...I suppose that is what you get for chewing on C-4.

It's times like this I hate it being PG13 round here.

Thank you

Red light, green light! *boom*

 

[StrainedEyes]

I guess I should stop dipping my gum in citric acid and explosive powder before chewing. Thank you jawless student, you may have saved my life.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

So much for watching what you chew.

And having a gum all on your face.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Looks like this guy....

*sunglasses*

I've got nothing.

 

[Majic Walrus]

What material is so explosive and volatile that chewing on it would cause it to explode but dipping gum in it wouldn't?

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Something them crazy Europeans have to chew on, apparently.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I guess this candy...

*puts on glasses*

...was a jaw breaker.

 

[Aesop Rocks]

FFFFFFFFFUUU----

IT'S BRILLIANT.

Even though I hate these you could have said "Bit off more than he could chew"

Stupid ass. If you wanted gum that never loses its flavor you order it from Willy Wonka. God, people always overlooking the obvious.

 

[Metamorpho1977]

Maybe it was bazooka joe.

YEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! *cues guitar*

Boom goes the dynamite.

 

[Raiden]

I guess this is a gum that explodes in your mouth, not in your hand.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

I think this guy is a top contender for this years Darwin Award.

You don't put explosive dip next to your citric dip.

 

[Zephyr Alexian]

He was definitely blown away by the flavor.

 

[Cunning Stunts]

I'd bet this was a conspiracy against bubble gum. Someone probably just waited for him to put the gum in his mouth, then shot his face off.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

I guess this guy...

*puts shades on*

smells of...cheese?

When I first read this I thought of Mission Impossible right away.
