In December 2009, a 25-year-old chemistry student called Vladimir Likhonos lost his life due to exploding chewing gum.
Vladimir had an unusual practice of enhancing the sour taste of his chewing gum by dipping it in citric acid.
Authorities discovered approximately 100 grams of an unidentified explosive powder on his work table, which he utilized for his home chemistry experiments.
This powder was determined to be four times more potent than TNT.
It is speculated that Vladimir inadvertently mistook the explosive powder for citric acid and coated his gum with it before chewing.
The explosion was likely triggered by the reaction of the explosive powder with Vladimir's saliva or the pressure exerted when he chewed on the gum coated with the powder.
The explosion resulted in a severe injury that blew off Vladimir’s jaw. He sadly died from his injuries.
