In 2 December 2009, a 25-year-old student from Ukraine of the Kiev Polytechnic Institute died when his chewing gum exploded in his mouth.
A deadly habit emerged when he dipped his chewing gum into citric acid often for the sake of increasing the sour taste of the gum, but on his work table police noted several ounces of unidentified explosive powder on his work desk, powder he took home from work that resembled citric acid.
Having coated his chewing gum in said explosive power mistakenly, a reaction releasing a force four times more powerful than TNT occurred from what was either the chewing of the gum or the student's saliva.
