    Just a suggestion. DO NOT mix 409 degreaser and bleach in the same bottle. it makes one heck of a MaGyver style bomb. No one was injured but the suckers are in a state of shock

    Not only makes a MacGyver bomb
    Also releases what was commonly referred to in WW1 as “Mustard Gas” … it’s not good for your lungs

    Two questions.

    1. Why did you have those two items next to your suckers?

    2. Got Pictures?

    The only way to clear up lungs attached by mustard gas is to sit down and smoke a pack of Pall Mall’s and drink plenty of Blatz. Good luck dude

    I’m good with the Blatz But I’ll have to forgo the Pall Malls. Brian I was going to clean the outside of the minnow tank but didn’t have enough 409 so I mixed the bleach in then went to wait on a customer. AS I’ve said before….oops!

    NOT TRUE! That has been thoroughly debunked.

    Recent findings by the American Medical Association have shown that Old Style, not Blatz, is the most effective for relieving the effects of mustard gas. Pall Malls and Lucky Strikes have been shown to be equally effective.

    I had a similar experience this spring cleaning our cabin. My lungs literally hurt for a few days.
    The worst part is that I am a chemist…I should have known better

    Ralphie was a chemist
    But Ralphie is no more
    For what Ralphie thought was H2O
    … Was H2SO4
