Here's a word to the wise: Never, and we mean NEVER, take a Longhorn to the movies ... unless you want to get hazmat involved.
Why? Burnt popcorn is like kryptonite to the burnt orange.
That's right ... burnt popcorn.
DUN DUN DUUUUUUN!!!!
An entire campus dormitory was evacuated overnight Thursday after residents reported a strong odor wafting from the fourth floor.
They were unable to identify the smell, so emergency officials evacuated all 200 people inside as hazmat crews investigated, KVUE-TV reports.
That's when they discovered the devious -- but delicious -- culprit.
But it gets even better. About 45 people complained of respiratory problems as a result of the popcorn smell.
The Austin Fire Department blamed the high number of patients on what they called a "sympathetic reaction."
That's what we call "hilarious."
"What we found was burnt popcorn. It was popcorn burnt on the fourth floor, and it had a pretty bad odor and it spooked a lot of folks," an AFD spokesperson told KVUE.
Most of the evacuees were summer school students and high school cheerleaders attending camp.
