  • @abody20 we make no comments on health and your's is obviously a silly, troll-like comment that i'd usually ignore... but seeing you are being a silly billy, I will reply by saying that white bread like that probably isn't super healthy... and there is no lettuce on a cheeseburger...

    I wouldn't hold your breath for a whole lot of likes! :)

  • @abody20 silly and silly billy are fun terms in my world... something you say to a child you like... "oh, did you fall down the step... well aren't you a silly billy"

    It was not hostile.

    And I'm not a chemist or doctor either.

  • @jessesetsfire no. that was hydroflouric acid

  • is this what they used in breaking bad to decompose that guy?

  • It looks like shit. o wait...

  • 81 disliker's are americans

  • even tho turning black is a sign that there's carbon in the cheeseburger it is a proven fact that all mcdonalds food is extremely bad for you...i didn't need a chemist to tell me that i learned that first hand

  • would it have a similar effect on cellulose?

  • Alfred's like NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

    And he disliked this video.

  • @abody20 It turning black hasn't anything to do with being bad for your health, it's probably turned black because the molecules in the bread and the burger contain carbon, which is left behind when the rest of the atoms in the molecules have reacted, much like when you burn something. All food contains carbon so food turning black when exposed to HCL is not a good indicator for it being unhealthy.

  • glad to hear an Irish accent.

  • kinda looks like a headcrab! XD
