Then again, some of us were stupid enough to mix sodium bisulfate with
sodium hypochlorite. Food sure does taste funny with no sense of smell 8^)

Also, after doing the electrolysis bit as a kid, I found out how much power
it took to dissassociate the water molecules by mixing the oxygen and
hydrogen back together and adding a small spark.

Soon afterwards I received my first (but not last) lecture on
thermodynamics and the conservation of energy.
