I just learned about “Salt (NaCl) is actually a combination of a highly poisonous gas (Cl) and a hazardous metal (Na)”.
I’m sure there are lots of examples in life that this rule also applies to.
Alcohol is generally well tolerated in reasonable quantities, the common ink cap mushroom is edible, but if eaten alongside alcohol it becomes poisonous
Jesus. Not even alongside. It is poisonous to consume alcohol up to three days after eating them.
The symptoms can occur if even a small amount of alcohol is consumed up to three days after eating the mushrooms, although they are milder as more time passes.
If like to see this in a murder mystery
this one is pretty scary. my brother loves to get pissed and do mushrooms he forages himself. I know he knows what he’s doing but you never know
Can’t think of anything myself, but I just want to say this is a really good unique question.
When she says “don’t” and when she says “stop”.
Politicians and guillotines are terrible on their own, but when combined…
Some might disagree but the one time I melted cheddar cheese on popcorn I nearly barfed.
Chemistry is so weird like that, you should see the Nile red stuff where he turns paint thinner into cherry soda https://youtu.be/NIVkBs7oWDI?si=EK4OnaCu-zw4Ffzr
Or plastic gloves into hot sauce https://youtu.be/1B3Xi5L6siI?si=hqti_mueK2o-0A_h

Steak sause and ice cream is bad, Making out and cousin are meh on their own but great together.
Nuts & gum.
Together at last!
Fruit yoghurt is nice, soda is nice.
Mixing them is abomination.
Also milk and orange juice. Super yummy!
No, that’s not an abomination
Tooth paste and orange juice.
The gases of Hydrochloric Acid and Ammonia mixed together form Ammonium chloride. Which, among other things, is used as salmiak to make salty licorice.
I remember making this in high school, it’s the very first thing that pops in my head whenever I think of bad + bad = good. Granted, you must like salty licorice, or it’ll be bad + bad = disgusting :)Good thing that I’m Dutch. Licorice is victory, victory is life!
Those double salt atrocities will never pass my lips again!
Blue cheese and orange juice! It’s such a bad combo it’s worth trying.
That already smells like puke in my head!
i have another one like this: salty paprika chips and nutella!! i swear, puking it out was worth it 😂😂
Chlorox and ammonia are effective cleaners on their own and life threatening if mixed.
Sugar and acidity go together well but can be unpalatable on their own at the levels that theyre used. i.e 45 grams sugar / can would gag you without that acidity. the acidity on its own would not taste great.
Some spices synergize with other spices but arent great by themselves.
fat by itself: gag, bread by itself: boring, bread + fat: tasty
Carbon Dioxide is poisonous by itself but in small amounts it can stimulate breathing. Pure Oxygen can cause nerve damage over long periods of time but is necessary for survival. Nitrogen isnt poisonous but it cant support life on its own either. The three mixed together in the right proportions is breathable over the long term (air)
Penacillin type antibiotics dont work on resistant strains on their own and drugs that inhibit the enzymes that bacteria use to neutralize those antibiotics wont do anything on theur own but together, they can kill bacteria that used to be vulnerable to antibiotics but developed resistance to them.
Alloys are examples of materials that are greater than the sum of their parts.
Sulfur, charcoal and saltpeter are relatively unremarkable. Sulfur and charcoal burn but not particularly violently. Saltpeter doesnt do much unless it is paired with fuel. Together they make gunpowder.
The three mixed together in the right proportions is breathable over the long term (air)
For what it’s worth, there’s much more argon and water vapor in the air (each around 1%) than there is CO2 (around 0.04%).
I am well aware that air isn’t just Oxygen, Nitrogen and Carbon Dioxide. I didn’t mention these other components because they are not relevant to the point I was making. CO2 concentrations can easily exceed 1,000 ppm indoors and in heavily populated cities. CO2 really only drops to around 400 ppm far away from populated areas. Your body relies on CO2 concentration in your blood (technically bicarbonate) to stimulate breathing. It does not use Oxygen concentration to do so. This is why some industrial environments can be incredibly dangerous if Nitrogen, Argon etc. displace Oxygen. Youll breathe in and out just fine until the lack of Oxygen knocks you unconscious.
If your bread is boring you need better bread.
Good bread doesn’t need anything else.

Huh? Garlicky eggs are amazing
Even with parsley and cheese?

Skittles and M&Ms. Trust me. They smell great but are inedible together.
Nothing like a bowl of S&Ms on an office desk. Those who just take a couple are fine. Those who grab a handful are in for an unpleasant surprise.
The modern office equivalent to the Pythagorean cup
