  • A video purportedly showing the aftermath of a school prank in which a student spiked a batch of lemonade with laxatives was uploaded to the web site LiveLeak (removed) in mid-September 2018. This footage racked up millions of views when it was shared on Facebook along with the caption: So Wrong: A student puts laxative in the school's lemonade. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vi50BOT5mkA This video does not capture real students at a high school suffering bouts of diarrhea after a student spiked their lemonade with laxatives. This footage was taken from the Netflix mockumentary television series American Vandal and depicts a staged incident involving a group of actors. American Vandal plays like a true crime documentary, but instead of focusing on villainous acts such as murder, the mockumentary takes place in a high school and features juvenile pranks and acts of vandalism. The second season of the show, which made its debut just a few days before this video went viral, opened with an episode entitled Brown Out. The New Yorker described the opening sequence of that episode thusly: Some of the footage from this viral hoax video can also be glimpsed in a trailer for the second season of the show. (en)
