Inside the sink is cola; the pills on this man’s body are a certain type of medication
I tried brushing for ages but didn’t see any image; it’s probably Mentos mint candies.

Effervescent tablets are a relatively new drug formulation in China. Unlike ordinary tablets, effervescent tablets use organic acids and basic carbonates (bicarbonates) as effervescent disintegrants; when placed in water, they immediately undergo an effervescent reaction that generates and releases large amounts of carbon dioxide gas, creating a bubbling effect, which is why they are called effervescent tablets.
Cola is acidic; does this mean it produces a large amount of carbon dioxide? ?
Speechless – the carbon dioxide dissolved in cola is carbonic acid. . .
