35 Conspiracy Theories That Even Skeptics Believe

Generally speaking, conspiracy theories can be fun. I’m not talking about the ones that claim vaccines are implanting microchips in our bodies or that 5G is part of some sinister radiation plot. I’m talking about those that make you stop and think about a mundane part of life that, quite possibly, could be less mundane than it seems.

One Redditor, for instance, believes that Head & Shoulders is part of a flaky-scalped agenda. According to them, anti-dandruff shampoos “temporarily get rid of dandruff, but somehow dry your scalp out even more over time,” positing that it then “worsens your dandruff when you stop using it.” 

Okay, let’s sit with that for a minute. Does it seem so crazy that a company would lie in order to sell more of their products? Not really. So, while we can’t verify the truth, I can see how he came to that conclusion. 

Other Redditors have shared their conspiracy theories that don’t seem very far-fetched, including one guy who’s ready to bust Throwback Thursday wide open.
