How dare you kill a innocent and wild gummy bear for no reason. Did the bear attack you? NO! Was it even gummy bear season? NO! There is no gummy bear season since they are endangered. I have never heard of a gummy bear much less even seen one in the wild.

You bastard! I am reporting this them animal rights hippies.

I was replying to a comment by this guy saying he ate sodium chlorite and nothing happened. I believe he had confused chlorite chlorate and chloride.

[Buggy503]

Definitely sodium chlorATE.

[dragonridley]

blahdob

Are you sure it wasn't sodium chloride?

Chloride, Chlorite, and Chlorate are three different things.
