Two forwarded email messages in as many days.

Theobromine is the ingredient that is used to make all chocolate

and

[H]e was told it's a compound which is one molecule away from antifreeze



I'm waiting for the trifecta.
Oh, my brain.



Edit: It does occur to me that "one molecule away" from antifreeze (ethylene glycol) might be an attempt to describe ethylene glycol monobutyl ether. Maybe I should look at the Swiffer Wetjet and see whether they really are putting Formula 409 in there -- that would add another thing to my list of hazardous household products. Sigh.

Swiffer WetJets contain propylene glycol monobutyl ether. It's a little less toxic than EGBE, but so similar that I don't want to be near it regardless. One more thing to mention when rattling off my list of "problem chemicals"...
