"The Honey Badger" turned into "The Honey Bleacher" to try and pass a drug test in college. 

Tyrann Matheiu, the legendary LSU defensive back and former NFL star, recently revealed on his podcast that he was once so desperate to pass a drug test in college that he mixed bleach into his Coca-Cola to try and flush drugs out of his system after reading about it on the Internet.

Thankfully, Mathieu quickly vomited and was spared a premature visit to the morgue.

Mathieu reportedly failed or admitted to failing over 10 drug tests during his time at LSU, leading to dismissal from the LSU football program in August of 2012. 

Mathieu dropped to the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft but ended up playing in the NFL for 12 seasons, where he won a Super Bowl and was named to the Pro Bowl three times.
