Bleach v Coca-Cola & Bleach v Vinegar

Barcelona: Google+: It just has that chemical warfare kind of look...

Bleach v Coca-Cola

I agree, quote: 'Of course don't drink this'.

Considering the era, I should state:

Do not let anything or anyone consume this liquid. Do not even mention the term 'drink'.

In this case, Coke is not it.

Bleach v Vinegar

Within homecaring work for a relative, when cleaning, I have further empirically discovered that bleach with a strong and in my opinion, offensive odour, is a very effective cleaner and whitener in many contexts.

I also use vinegar as a cleaner. Vinegar like bleach can be used to clean clothes. But common sense has informed me (thankfully) not to mix vinegar and bleach.

I digest vinegar in the food context where many North Americans would use ketchup.

When visiting the United States, that has many fine restaurants, a complaint I have is that many establishments do not even carry vinegar. At least one restaurant employee seemed baffled at the intellectual concept of vinegar. As if 'vinegar' was a major academic discipline such as science, philosophy and religious studies and I had entered this academic twilight zone.

But I digress...

'Mixing bleach and vinegar is a bad idea. Toxic chlorine gas is released, which essentially serves as a way to wage chemical warfare on yourself. '

'It's far safer for you to buy fresh bleach than to risk releasing a chemical weapon on yourself by mixing bleach with another chemical. You can use bleach and vinegar for cleaning, just make sure you rinse before switching products.'
