A pink pill puzzles some users. It's supposedly called Z3d - that's what's behind the supposed drug:

Sharepics are currently circulating about a pink pill with Z3d printed on it. The accompanying text asks whether anyone knows about this pill - Google would not provide any results and the person who created the post found it in her son's room and is now worried.

It's about the following sharepic:

MIMIKAMA

Does anyone know what pill this is? Pink rectangular tablet with the ID “Z3d” on it. Google doesn't show any results. I found it in my son's room and I'm very concerned

There is now also a German-language version:

MIMIKAMA

The fact check

It all started in June 2018, and it's nothing more than a joke! If you turn the picture upside down, anyone will be able to read “PEZ” quite easily. This is an Austrian confectionery brand .

The original creator - Facebook profile Aidun Klore - probably expected the image to become viral when he uploaded it to Facebook last year. He ignored users' advice for over 5,000 comments and repeatedly changed the status message, expanded the text and subsequently edited the image twice.

In earlier versions of the sharepic, there was a mark in the image with the first name of the status post author and the addition “Meme”:

Conclusion

So it's not a newfangled drug, but a fruit candy.

The creator deliberately presented the PEZ candy upside down and thus introduced fake news into the internet world.
