Liquid soap is not good for drinking, but no one is in a rush to claim it's toxic and unsafe to use.

WD40? Drano? Household bleach? By your logic one should either drink them and thrown them out with prejudice.

There is also the part where the person blustering about it being safe to drink is being an asshole.

Last time I checked, none of those three things are used on food.

Pre-packed salads are washed in dilute chlorine.

Household bleach is mostly sodium hypochlorite.

Not lettuce, but lutefisk is a traditional Norwegian dish made of whitefish and lye, the active ingredient in Drano. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutefisk

> To make the fish edible, a final treatment of yet another four to six days of soaking in cold water (also changed daily) is needed.

And also, just because it's traditional, doesn't mean it's good for you :)
