Kids are wired to ask that, so what, basic chemistry knowledge is extremely useful.

I had a co-worker who decided to clean his bathroom and decided using a mix of chemicals would be better than just using one! Makes sense right?

He figured putting bleach and vinegar together was a smart move because it meant more cleaning all at once.

Don't worry, he's fine. He had a sore throat for a few weeks and the fumes singed the hairs off his hands when he was mixing it.

Dang! Good to not be absent minded, and actually check out the chemical equation, and consider the implications.

Good to be reminded, and learn from others mistakes.

Glad he survived mostly unscathed.
