does sticking your tongue out while chopping onions not make you cry?

Question

At my school, we are doing out own "Mythbusters" episode and me and my partners myth is... does sticking your tongue while chopping onions not make your eyes water?

Answer 1

Why don't you conduct an experiment (with onions and a bunch of students)?

Collect the data and see if there's empirical (practical) verification of this idea.

This will be the scientific way of determining the veracity of the myth.
