There are lots of conspiracy theories in the world. Some of them are true, but most of them have been disproven. We have to find out which ones are true and which are not. The first theory is that Coca-Cola made a new recipe to reintroduce the old one with cheaper ingredients in the drink to save money. Donald Keough, president of Coke, says: “We are not that dumb, but not that smart either.” People think that the company was putting weird ingredients into coke to make it sweeter. This was debunked by taste tests when the coke recipe was proven to have corn syrup instead of sugar.
The next theory is the flat earth theory. Some people believed that the world was flat and that if you got to the end, you would fall off the world. Some people believed that North and South America didn’t exist and there was just a bottomless, infinite plane of nothingness. Other people believed that Antarctica was an ice wall that surrounded the world so people couldn’t get out. All of these theories were connected to one; the flat earth theory. We know that the earth is round because if a plane flies over the pacific ocean it will get to Russia, but if they crossed the Atlantic Ocean it will also get to Russia.
Some conspiracy theories have obvious answers and some have unexpected answers, so you never know when some absurd thing is right or wrong. All of this information goes to show that humans can believe totally unrealistic things, because that’s just in our nature.
