One well-known modern urban legend depicts a person who attempted to dry a wet poodle in a microwave oven, only to kill it. Another legend depicts what is known as The Vanishing Hitchhiker, while another poses that alligators dwell in New York City's sewers, where they grow to enormous size after being flushed down the toilet by dissatisfied pet owners.

Many urban legends revolve around consumer products and their perceived danger. One such urban legend depicts deaths caused by ingesting Pop Rocks candy mixed with soda, as they cause the stomach to explode. In reality, there is nothing dangerous about the products either separate or together, as the fizzing in Pop Rocks and soda are both caused by carbon dioxide gas.

Other urban legends are rooted in racism and anti-Semitism. For example, a common urban legend in the Middle East depicts Jews drinking the blood of Christian children. Variations of the myth depict the baking of babies' blood into holiday pastries.
