Man Selling “Throat-Clearing” Drink Apprehended (Video) by Glimpsetv(op): 10:34am On Feb 11

A shocking incident has left people in disbelief after a man selling a locally distributed “throat-clearing” drink was apprehended when a customer allegedly discovered that the liquid could melt a silicone plate. The moment quickly drew attention as bystanders tested the substance themselves, and the results stunned everyone present.

According to witnesses, the drink has reportedly been sold in several cities and rural communities for years. Some consumers claimed it gives a sweet taste but causes a strong burning sensation in the throat, which many believed showed its effectiveness.

However, after seeing how the drink reacted with plastic, concerns have grown about its safety and chemical composition.

The video has now gone viral, with many people questioning what exactly is inside the drink and how long it has been in circulation.

When NDLEA said 15m Nigerians are into drugs, such dealers are accountable for about 10m of that figure.

I think its methanol instead of the supposed ethanol in our gins.

Some of these local drinks are just destroying humans.

Kai Kai also has same effect on takeaway plates too, same with fuel and kerosene too. I also tried diluted ethanol and it has same result.

That's not silicone plate, it's Styrofoam. It's a chemical reaction, doesn't prove that the drink is dangerous. Many chemicals in things we consume will react the same way with Styrofoam.

I'm not saying the drink isn't dangerous, but that's a stupid test for anyone to reach a conclusion with.

same with peppermint that they sell in pharmacy to clear thoart. You don't need to swallow peppermint because it's harsh, just allow it to stay on the throat for some second and spit it out.

Like some comments up there, Gin or ogogoro would have reacted same way.

And that boy could easily have been lynched to death because of an ignorant mob.
