    Um so when I grab a mountain dew at the store I am consuming a flame retardants? So does that mean I can douse myself in soda and run into a burning building?

        It’s also an industrial solvent!

        Not to minimize the fact that BVO is known to be toxic and should have been banned years ago, but yes I hate when they make stupid comparisons like that

      You’d find yourself in a hot pickle, Don Dickle.

            I feel like you’ve missed a golden opportunity it to make “dickle” into a suggestive verb. Like “Pickle Patrol 2: Debbie Gets Dickle’d”

      Mountain Dew stopped including BVO in 2019. So you’ve been in the clear for at least 4 years.

      Bromine is used in flame retardants AND in brominated vegetable oil. Like chlorine is used to clean your pool water and as a component of table salt.
