WATCH: Two Women Drink Helium Infused Wine

A video of two women drinking helium infused wine has gone viral and has gained more than 10 million views on Facebook. But like anything fun on the internet, its a hoax.

The video below shows two women allegedly drinking wine that has been “infused” with helium. The thing is, that’s scientifically impossible. Check out the video below:

This video below shows how the women’s voices were simply pitched up to make them sound like they had helium in their systems:

And the website Snopes.com explains that the science simply doesn’t match up. They explain it using the example of helium infused beer:

Helium is about 700 times less soluble in water as compared to carbon dioxide. It is one of the least soluble gases in water, and only about 0.0016 g of Helium would get dissolved in a litre of beer while, at the same conditions, 2.5 g of carbon dioxide is usually present in a litre of beer. This dissolved carbon dioxide is what releases slowly and creates the fizz. No slow fizz can be done with helium. Undissolved helium in beer would coalesce into one or two big bubbles and … ploop, it would go out as soon as the seal was broken.

Even if Helium was forced into the beer and sealed in a beer can, it would be useless. As soon as the seal was broken, nearly all the helium present inside, undissolved, under pressure, would come out so quickly (due to lower viscosity of beer) that it would take a whole lot of beer out with it. It would create a mess. And you wouldn’t be able to bring the can anywhere near your face.

So there you go, let’s just all assume everything on the Internet is fake and made by Jimmy Kimmel.
