Which is why it kills many dogs every year. If your dog goes in the car-parking space, clean up spills and leaks when they happen.

Aaaaaaaaaaaa holy shamoley this really triggers the lab tech in me. That’s probably Pu-238:
and the orangey color is not juicy deliciousness, it’s heat! Orange heat from rad decay, used to power deep-space probes’ innards. So, no lickin’ and no eatin’. Brrrrrrr.

Yeah people are laughing at the concept like kids don’t drink hazardous substances all the time. My mom drank lemon pine sol when she was a toddler. It was under a cabinet and everything.

I frequently think about how the motivating event in the creation of the FDA had to do with a (self-educated) chemist who, while working for Massengill, made a children’s medicine deliberately sweetened with anti-freeze. After it killed some kids, he insisted it wasn’t poisonous, drank some to prove it, then immediate started making calls to find out what the treatment for drinking anti-freeze was…
(Mostly I think about it every time a libertarian claims we don’t need government regulation because markets are self-correcting…)

After decades of being a fan of both I only recently learned that, much to my astonishment, Orange Juice and JG Thirlwell (Feotus, Wiseblood, etc) collaborated back in the long ago and he appeared with them on Top of The Pops.
Talk about an orange juice and paint thinner cocktail!
