She mixed ammonia with the chlorine.
The dog knew something wasn’t quite right.

I wonder what would happen if you shut off a toilet’s water supply valve, flushed the toilet, stopped it up with a tennis ball, put clorine bleach in the bowl and ammonia in the tank, and then flipped the flush lever.
Probably something bad, you think?
MY PARENTS BOUGHT ME A CHEMUCAL KIT WHEN I WAS A KID..I KNOW, UNBELIEVABLE
WHEN THEY WENT OUT ON AN ERRAND RUN, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO MIX SOME RANDOM STUFF TOGETHER, PUT IT IN A BEAKER, THEN SET IT ON THE STOVE
GOOD THING I HID BEHIND THE BAR
KABOOOOOMMMMM!!
BLEW THE WINDOWS OUT, SPREAD PERMANENT PURPLE BLOTCHES ACROSS EVERYTHING, INCLUDING THE CEILING
I WAS PRAYING FOR THE CAT IN THE HAT TO SAVE ME BEFORE THEY CAME HOME
NO SUCH LUCK
@¡BENITO TBB! Great story! I bet you were one of us “runs with scissors” kids, too. Amirite?
I lost my sense smell from covid in 2020 and it never came back. My fear is that I wouldn’t smell something as toxic as that, or even smoke from something burning in the house.
…this is one of the reasons you don’t want to live in multi-unit dwellings, you never know what ignorance your close neighbors are getting up to and whether it will kill you, because THEY damn sure won’t warn you when things get sideways…
…and Benito, while I had a chemistry set too, I was never able to make much more than a mess. I think one of my more destructive escapades was the time I got a simple bow and some metal-tipped arrows and taped a target between some exposed studs in the basement without regard for the copper piping immediately behind it.
The hot-water flooding was glorious, but my dad made sure I didn’t think so at the time…
You just described my college dorm, SNS 🤣
When I was 8 or 9 I learned what happens when you mix vinegar and baking soda.

…you, sir, are probably one of the reasons they stopped making cherry bombs.
Cherry bombs and sling shots were a lethal combination. 😈
Chlorine and ammonia make chlorine gas, not mustard gas. Mustard gas is not easy to make and is a blistering agent, not a choking agent. That said, chlorine gas is very nasty stuff. Mixing household cleaning products can be very dangerous.
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank ’em both up.
@ SNS
I think the cherry bomb factory blew up, maybe in the 70s?
It blew up real good.
Try heating sugar and saltpeter on a burner when you don’t know what will happen. My first college dorm roommate found out when he smoked out two floors of our dormitory and got arrested for creating an incendiary device.
I miss dorm hijinks
“Woman Accidentally Makes, Essentially, Mustard Gas ”
I’ve actually done the same with my three bean slow burn chili.
No, that would be methane gas, Brad. But close enough to paint an olfactory picture. *cough* need air lol
JB_Honeydew
I’ll put some in a bottle and ship it to you. LOL. Its baaaaad stuff.
Much like your gas, I’ll pass. But thank you. 😆
I’ll send you the recipe. Could come in handy when the FBI over runs your compound. Pull my finger. LOL
Oh I’ve got a few WADs (Weapons of Ass Destruction) in my cooking repertoire.
@JB – Another dorm hijinks: shooting bottle rockets down the length of our dormitory hall. We were dumbass lucky that no one came out of their room when we were doing it. Was lotta fun at the time, but not so much in hindsight.
We’d always wait til someone was on the shitter to use bottle rockets. We used the hallway for potato gun testing and flaming cockroach races.
Speaking of shitters, did you ever take a wad of toilet paper and soak it in water (affectionately called soggy bun wads) and throw them out the bathroom window onto cars parked below? It was a glorious mess.
Amongst other things, yeah. Once we went into the chancellor’s yard and stole all the crabapples off his crabapple trees. We then accessed the roof of the dorm, and because his house was across the street from the dorm we sat up there drinking and smoking while pelting his house with his crabapples using the previously mentioned potato gun as the launcher.
JB_Honeydew, I had a microphone stand that crackle bombs and m-80s slid right down into. Light the thing, drop it into the stand-pipe, and do a Babe Ruth swing. Those fuckers would go 100 yards. Until I swung one right through a neighbors front window.
There were other stories about that mic stand. Some of them not so funny.
Fun with physics. I love it!! 😆
We had a potato gun that used 120 pounds compressed air. Had a chuck on it and Phil put a 120 volt valve on it. We’d fire potatoes, of course, but somebody got the bright idea to put a floatie dog ball toy in it. The toy was soaked in water and jammed down. We hadn’t shot it yet, and Marco said, “Shoot it over here, I’ll catch it!” We said, “Nah, we gotta test it…” We hit an empty 50 gallon drum with the dog toy and put a 4 inch deep dent in the side of it. And damn near knocked over the drum.
Marco said, “Oh, no. Fuck that.”
What would happen if you shut off a toilet’s water supply valve, flushed the toilet, stopped it up with a tennis ball, put clorine bleach in the bowl and ammonia in the tank, then flipped the flush lever and called the FBI threatening to shoot Biden all at the same time?
Answer: you’d be shot dead, but you’d have a lot of dead FBI agents joining you in the morgue.
The other mic stand problem was, the last time I saw it, Phil had pounded it into a stump in my backyard. He then poured gunpowder into it saying it would be a hell of a sparkler when lit. We believed him.
I sprayed carb spray onto the the top opening of it, through a bic, of course, and there was a deafening explosion and a blinding light. We were counting fingers, checking for gushing blood, and THEN the mic stand finally hit the ground behind my shed. It must have been in the air 5 or 6 seconds. We had already forgotten about the mic stand. We thought it had blown apart.
Anonymous done lost his bleeding mind.
I do dumb shit, dangerous shit, not insane shit.
My sister in law turned the bright chrome sink faucet dull and black with chlorine and ammonia.
Some people 🙄
Mr Yuck wasn’t only about not eating lye and tide pods… Mr Yuck was also about not killing ERRYBODY IN DUH HOUSE with some concoction that made phosgene, or vietnamese diptheria. It’s right on the label. Don’t eat the yellow snow. Don’t make giftgas. Quit eating paint chips.

Give us an update when yo decide to give her a go.LOL
I had a gas powered
pellet rifle as a child.
I would take the used gas cylinder
fill with match heads, light with a fuse
and drop in a piece of pipe. It would take off
and glow until it was out of sight.

…ever make a stack of tin cans with cutouts made with an old-fashion triangular can opemer, taoed together with duct tape and stick a tennis ball in one end and lighter fluid in the other?
…talk about projection…
How my 3 younger brothers and I survived childhood I’ll never know. it was sheer blind luck or more than likely God’s grace that kept us from blowing ourselves to smithereens. The worst was the time that I almost burned the house down making smokes bombs in my bedroom when I was about 14 or so and it went off filling my bedroom with smoke. It was also the last time my dad paddled my ass for being so damn stupid. And one of my brothers made a homemade mortar out of a steel pipe that he would shoot CO2 cartridges full of matchsticks and light them off and shoot them clear across long the field behind the Junior HS a block from our house. Fortunately, he never blew himself to bits or got caught. Lye and aluminum foil mixed with a little water and a small, enclosed plastic bottle also made one hell of a small bomb which my brother used to blow the lids off of a lot of garbage cans up down the alley behind our house. And all the ingredients for our stupid ingenuity came from buying the needed chemicals over the counter, no questions asked at our local Rexall drugstore a couple of blocks away from our house.

…we had to deal with those plastic bottle bombs in the FD when I was in, they were a big thing there for awhile from people who thoght blowing up mailboxes was funny. The chemestry of common chemicals they were using was such that it not only made an explosive, it also left behind hydrochloric acid which was a nasty surprise for anyone picking up the aluminum foil unawares.
It wasn’t treated as a joke by LEO either. These were prosecuted as Federal crimes in some cases, so the person who thinks it was a funny prank could end up doing hard bullets in a Federal penitentiary.
Some people got themselves too. The reaction was quick and some folks didn’t get rid of the bottle fast enough and found out about the HCL first hand.
Not recommended.
Showed up at a house party late in my high school days to find all the action going on in the back yard. They were shooting roman candles at each other and this was in a fenced in backyard of a house on a city lot.
I watched for a while because it was highly entertaining but ultimately decided that if this is what my school chums were doing this early in the evening that the rest of the evening had cops written all over it. I left and the next school day I learned that my assumption was correct.
Nobody tells us Redskins anything, mostly we are out of sight, out of mind. My father joined the Navy at 18 and brought my Mother into the white world of cleaning products.
Upon her first endeavor to clean the toilet she mixed Pine Sol. and Comet Cleanser iIn their tiny apartment, fortunately the windows were open and she got out alive. Only has one lung today but still kicking at 85.
A friends wife knew that ammonia was a good way to boost cleaning performance in the laundry.
So she decided that to clean dingy white bedding a combo of ammonia and bleach would be a magic solution.
Glad they didn’t have pets or kids at the time. She bailed when she went down to the basement to check her laundry. You have to read the little print on the bottles people. And pay attention in science class.
Tinfoil, drain cleaner and pop bottle. My neighbors kids discovered that little trick while I was welding a cracked seam on a fuel tank for a lawn tractor.
Thought I blew myself up!
…it’s generally not a good idea to post bo mb-making instructions online.
Just saying.
See my previous post for possible consequences.
Pool chemicals are very dangerous. Clorine, muriatic acid, etc.
Lock that stuff up around kids.
12 years old; Charcoal, sulphur and saltpeter tightly wrapped with a relatively long fuse.
Didn’t get caught.
The laundry mat toilets (what was left) had to be replaced.
Paranoid for weeks.
Eventually the military elevated me to c-4, hand grenades and all sorts of methods of destruction.
Shoulda BLAMED The Cat In The Hat Benito.
“He came in, blew up the house, then left.”
My brother Michael and his friend Michael made a cannon and used some sort of chemical cannon ball. All I know is he came home from the ER with his hand swathed in layers of gauze.
Discovered the Comet & Ammonia combo by accident while cleaning the bathroom. At least I had the window wide open while cleaning our ancient claw-footed bathtub . Was polishing the brassy chain of the stopper when I spilled some Ammonia into the tub . Could have been a disaster but a window fan saved the day (and me) and my elder brother’s Playboy magazines were still safely hidden under the spiffy cleaned bathtub. Got tons of compliments over the chain gleaming like gold but ever since won’t allow Ammonia into my own house !
I was always the sedate guy who wanted to learn guitar chords.
Phil was the one who would put a can of wd-40 in a cheeseburger box and set the box on fire. And shoot the can with a .22 from 40 feet away.
40 feet isn’t quite far enough.
