Have you ever heard of the kid that died from eating Pop-Rocks and soda? Or the alligators living in the sewers of New York? Or maybe the college student that accidentally solved an "unsolvable math problem"? There are so many legends present in our everyday lives, but what's true and what's not may surprise you.*Wink*

This test will determine your knowledge about urban legends by using the true-or-false test format. The legends will span various categories, from food myths to car stories. Some might be famous, while others might be obscure.

Try your best, and have fun!

*Idea*If you're curious and want to learn more about some of the legends, feel free to send me an e-mail and I'll send you some info as soon as I can! Suggestions for quiz questions would also be appreciated, as will reviews!
