    Today I went to my local Pep Boys today to pick up some wiper fluid for the wifes late model cruiser.....

    when the senorita scanned my purchase, a warning screen came up saying that it was an age restricted item. She asked for my id, which I produced. I haven't been young enough to be carded for anything for 12 years now, but hey, I guess thats ok.

    My question, I suppose, is what the hell is in wiper fluid that would make it age restricted?

    what, do kids drink this **** :) ?

    Or blow **** up with it?

    I was shocked the first time I was carded for spray paint. I guess kids are sniffing everything they can.

    Yeah...but isn't it the kind of alcohol that makes you go blind?
    I'm sure it isn't drinkable without doing serious damage!

    Besides...theres some form of a SOAP or something in there! YUCK.....!!!

    I don't know about sniffing it, but I know that the Delco wiper fluid sold at dealers is highly flammable :D

    If you google "windshield washer" and MSDS the resulting data sheets will tell you that most of these products are at least 33% Methanol.

  10. I'm glad that the government is succeeding at protecting ourselves from ourselves.


    Did you read the story friday about the guy who crossed from Canada into the US carrying a ****** chainsaw and talking crazy? They let him go and later discovered he had murdered 2 people in New Brunswick.

    Can you make METH out of it or something?

    Hell, I think you can make METH out of just about anything volatile and hazardous...
    What a bunch of **** that is. I've read that it rots your teeth out.

    hmmmm....WONDER WHY?! :D
     
  12. Kids use canned whipped creme, the turn the can right side up push the nozzle and inhale the carrier. Schools and parents dont have a clue!

    That would be nitrous oxide, or a "whippet"...
     
  14. I was thinking more along the lines of Amonia. Maybe they use it to cook some sort of concoction.

    Simple house hold cleaners are what make METH! They ran a whole 20 minute special on the local news a couple of years ago about all the meth labs out in Independence, MO. Went through the list of supplies and everything. And they wounder why there is such a big influx of drugs in Kansas City! Its a subs***ute for windex.

    When I was 18 or 19 I was watching tv at a friends house, his sister (14 or 15 at he time) and a friend came out of her room and asked me to take her to the store to get air freshener because they were smoking in her room and needed to cover it up. Ok I got nothing better to do, my buddy was a little preoccupied by some girl so I took her to the store. She bought like 10 cans! this seemed odd to me so later when the oldest sister got home I told her about it and she said that they (the younger sister and friends) would put a towel over the can to catch the mist and huff the propellant!!:eek: I then felt dumb for taking her to get the cans.

    My buddy was cutting some metal plate with the torch and set some cardboard on fire - he tried to put it out with an open bottle of wiper fluid. needless to say- the fire got a little bigger. I laughed my *** off the whole time. the fire really didn't blaze up big but it definitely wasn't going out either.

    Using the process of fracti**** distiliation (similar to oil refining) one could easily turn wiper fluid into a number of things.
