The Life Cereal Myth Explained]]> Did Pop Rocks really kill Mikey from the Life cereal commercial? In this episode of Totally Unfounded, radio host JB Love and TV writer Will Griffin dig into one of the most viral urban legends in American history… the rumor that child actor John Gilchrist died after mixing Pop Rocks candy with soda.

We break down how this playground rumor spread across an entire country with zero internet, why Mikey was the perfect victim, what it did to General Foods' business, and why the truth still couldn't kill the legend even after MythBusters tried.

Who Mikey actually was, and why everyone knew his face but not his name? Why were parents terrified of Pop Rocks before Mikey got dragged into it? How did a rumor spread one phone call at a time and become national mythology?

Totally Unfounded is the show that investigates the pop culture conspiracy theories and urban legends you grew up believing. New episodes every Tuesday.

The chaotic show about babies getting into trouble while clueless parents stood around doing nothing? It might have been about something much darker. The theory that's haunted the internet since 2012 claims the babies were never real. Listen for the evidence, the holes, and why it still hits so hard. (This is the pilot episode for Totally Unfounded.)
