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.

    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!
