  Now on Discovery Channel on Wednesdays at 9pm. Conducting outrageous experiments to prove/debunk urban legends...all in the name of science!
  
  Among the things they proved:

  You can't set a petrol kiosk on fire using your phone
  You won't be more prone to lightning strikes by wearing tongue piercings
  Coke cleans your car very well!
  

  And more

  I agree that some things could be better (they're following the myths literally after all) but it's all good entertainment.

  I suppose they get that from the producers, who then get revenue from selling advertisement spots. Who knows, they could also be auctioning stuff on eBay.
