Well, considering I haven't burned to death, they're obviously doing something right.

Also, water.

The proper term is "flame mentally challenged".

Saw that yesterday. Here's the thing. Soda is evil. organic soda water is about all you should do. NOT even flavored buy a lime. Of course limes with probably get ecoli and that will try and kill us. OH fark

So if I mix single malt scotch with 7-up will it burn?

Oh goody. Another chemistry-challenged "X is also used for Y. You wouldn't drink Y, would you?" article.

Are you sure? Because I feel really gay when drinking those.

You think that's bad, but they're also using dihydrogen-monoxide (DHMO) in most, if not all, soda sold in the US. Nasty stuff, it's found in cancerous tumors and in weapons of mass destruction. Link to information that should scare the hell out of you. (new window)

I prefer to think of it as preventing Spontaneous Human Combustion
 
2011-12-14 05:53:19 PM
Afraid of spontaneous combustion? Drink more Mt. Dew!

YOU DON'T WASTE SINGLE MALT SCOTCH BY MIXING IT WITH 7-UP!!!!

/Mountain Dew is the only appropriate mixer for a good single malt.

Pretty much.

What, no potassium benzoate?

i always knew there was a reason the flaming gay people in san francisco never drank soda....

Salt is partly made from chlorine, which is deadly in gaseous form!

I for one am totally panicking right now.

flame retardant?

So it keeps teh ghey at bay?

This.

I hate stories like this were "Chemical X is in Food Item A and Non Food Item B, therefore, if you eat Food Item A, you're eating Non Food Item B". The logical hole in that conclusion is ridiculous. It's like saying "Sodium causes explosions when dropped in water. There is sodium in table salt. Therefore, table salt will explode if you mix it with water." Everybody knows that it's not true, but it's all fear monger-y and the media will run with it.

Right now, there's a big push to use renewable resources to make biodegradable and biorenewable polymers, such as poly-lactic acid, or PLA. The most common biorenewable source of lactide (the monomer precursor to PLA) is corn. Therefore, we shouldn't eat corn because it's used to make plastic cups because plastic is inedible, therefore the corn it is derived from is inedible.

According to the Environmental Health News, BVO contains "bromine atoms which weigh down the citrus flavoring so it mixes with sugar water" instead of floating to the top....That sounds good! But BVO is also added to polystyrene foam cushions in furniture and plastics in electronics because BVO can slow down the chemical reactions that cause a fire. Yuck. Is that what we want to be drinking?

1) This is not an argument.

2) Is this stuff in my Frogurt?

Wrong. A drop or two of ice cold water is the only mixer for good scotch. Lousy scotch you use whatever is at hand.

Well it has killed more people from overdose in one year than marijuana has, well ever.

I refuse to consume anything with chemicals in it. Chemicals ARE BAD people. Dihydrogen monoxide is one of the worst - did you know that if that crap gets in your lungs, you can be dead within minutes?

Brominated Vegetable Oil isn't really good for you, but is less worrying than most ingredients that can be found in mass produced sodas.

Rule of thumb: If your liver can't detoxify it, don't ingest it. Your liver can break down bromide, but only over time. It's usually partied and crashed at your central nervous system long before that happens.

I have a guy on my Facebook who is always putting this type of shiat up. I told him once, "okay mutherfarker, I know all the shiat that I CAN'T eat. How about telling me what I can eat?"

FTFA: Other studies suggest that BVO could be building up in human tissues. In mouse studies, big doses caused reproductive and behavioral problems.

Well, people who drink a lot of Mountain Dew do exhibit behavioral problems more often than not.

Mountain Dew's first slogan was "It'll tickle yore innards". They were accurate.

Came here for mention of the horror that is DHMO. Leaving satisfied.

/DHMO must be stopped!

Just don't drink the red ones. They stunt arm growth.
