Exploding Stove Polish was apparently a problem. Gotta wonder what chemical it was causing the problem.

The problem might be less with the chemicals in the polish per se and more with the mechanical processes surrounding its manufacture and use. Many otherwise safe substances become explosive when aerosolized.

This still happens a lot with some more mundane things. I picked up a bag of sugar the other day that said "gluten-free sugar!"

It doesn't help when formal classifications such as "organic" muddy the waters:

"Of course it's organic, it comes from a plant!"

"That's not what organic means..."

"Guh, wat?"
