Drano Test

  Myth: I've heard that you can take a pregnant woman's urine and mix it with drano to tell the sex of the baby.

Truth: The drano test supposedly can detect something in a pregnant woman's urine that will change the color of the drano to indicate the gender of the baby. However, this is absolutely false. In addition to that, I must warn you that it is extremely dangerous to mix urine and drano because of the possibility of fumes and of explosion.

Currently we know of nothing that is excreted in a pregnant woman's urine to be able for us to predict the gender of her baby. -- Robin Weiss

Comments: Lots of people swear this is true and offer their own personal experiences to back it up, but the sum of all the anecdotes you hear and read still don't add up to proof.

One reason is that no one seems to agree on how to properly interpret the results of the test. As with all superstitions, the specifics tend to vary according to who's telling the tale. For example, all of the following have been offered on the Internet as "the key" to interpreting the Drano test:

  1. Bluish yellow = boy
    Greenish brown = girl
  2. Brownish = boy
    No change = girl
  3. Brown = boy
    Green = girl
  4. Black = boy
    Blue = girl
  5. Blue = boy
    Green = girl
