Yeah...it's a great show covering all types of topics...they even have a "what's inside" segment. They claim that ethylene glycol is in Cool Whip! Maybe that's why that stuff lasts forever....

Ethylene Glycol is a very dangerous substance if ingested, leads to rapid and irreversible liver failure. Dogs and other animals like the sweet flavour, lick up anti-freeze spills, soon die. Bad stuff!

I'll watch the segment again...perhaps I confused it with another "What's inside" segment sorry...

Oops...you are right...it's ethylene oxide......may not be ethylene glycol but sounds just as nasty. See wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_oxide

Fishbone as I had a shirt as a kid with a fish-bone riding a bike....it was called Mr. Fishbone. I wanted just Fishbone with Yahoo but it was already taken so I stayed with it on this forum.

Since there's virtually no interest in this, here's the Goo Tube version.
