Drano Test

A strange old wives’ tale that has been around for a while is the “Drano Test.” For this test, pregnant women take a cup of their own urine and add a tablespoon of Drano (the drain unclogger) into it. If the urine turns green, she is said to be having a girl. If the mixture turns brown, she is having a boy.
However, adding Drano to your urine is also said to create toxic fumes, so this test is not recommended to try. Some people do so anyway, but they take their experiment outside so as to avert any harmful fumes.
