Hand sanitizer

So whenever you watch the movies there are often scenes with super smart people that use common place chemicals around the hourse to make homemade bombs, or acid... or oxygen.. or fire.. take your pick. I have seen this before so many times.

So I think to myself.. I am a chemical engineer.. why can't I do that?

Well I did it for the first time today.

One day while I was on the phone. I was drawing on my desk at work... and those stupid pen marks on my desk have bothered me ever since. Every time I look at them I think "I should get IPA from the lab, that would clean that right up..."

But today I was putting hand sanitizer on, and I remembered that there is rubbing alcohol in hand sanitizer.. Do you know what rubbing alcohol is? IPA!!!!! That's right.. so I lathered up my desk with some hand sinitizer, and not only did it smell good, but it cleaned it right up!

Also, it made me realize that someday when I am a mom and I come in to a room to find out that my child had colored all over themselves with marker that I could probably get it off with hand sanitizer! THIS IS SO GENIUS!

  2. Only now you have to use your chem powers to make nail polish that doesn't peel, or non itchy make up, or something that vanishes dog poop
