    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?

      Water is also a soda additive and flame retardant

        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

            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.
