DO NOT DO THIS!

Forget that old excuse of a dog ate my homework, this could be the new way for students to get out of class: Faking a positive COVID-19 test.

Dozens of videos of faked positive results have popped up on TikTok. In each one, the creator gets a COVID-rapid test, dips it in soda, and out comes a fake positive result for the COVID test.

Can you fake a positive result on a COVID test by dipping in soda or juice? Yes, soda or juice can cause a false positive in a rapid test, but not a PCR test.

WHAT WE FOUND:
According to LabCorp, you cannot get a false positive from soda or juice on a PCR test. PCR tests are the swabs that go to a lab and take several hours or days to get a result. Those are the tests that take a couple of days to get a result.
