Science is wonderful.

Here's the challenge: find other chemical compounds that spell out words but not necessarily something they are used in.

And for fun, make up some compounds using actual periodic table abbreviations for chemicals that might be in some products.

Please be sure to mark if it's the challenge or the fun response as many here have a hard time telling one from the other.

I keep this on the wall in my rocket room, it's from 1963 I think.

I almost bought a shower curtain for one of my roommates with that on it.

Because he took showers....periodically.

Found it in an antique store.
It's from a classroom, so it's quite large.

It had no price on it, so I asked and he said make an offer.
I said 20 bucks, he started laughing.
He responded, "give me ten and get it out of here!"

Sodium Citrate is used in the production of nacho cheese and has the chemical formula Na₃C₆H₅O₇.

The discussion of formulas is restricted to the tortilla chip forum and you must have eaten at a level 2 Mexican restaurant or higher (Taco Bell is level 1).

I eat my nachos with salsa so I can't make any sense of this.

Whose cheese is it?

I don't know whose cheese it is, but I know whose it ain't!

it's from 1963 I think.

The poster, or the paneling?

I don't know whose cheese it is, but I know whose it ain't!

Not politically correct, but what the heck...


So what you’re saying is:

“Dude, that’s not yo’ cheese!” ?
