You people make me sick!
Have you no respect for the farmers, who use this stuff to grow YOUR food? It would kill the industry if it were banned. And not only that, but it’s used in many, many beverages. Check the ingredients the next time you swig that snapple. Don’t be so quick to dismiss the lifeblood of modern American industry.
Hear, Hear! 
These so-called farmers also spray our foods with poisonous pesticides. In that light, how can we trust them to properly dispence a potentially toxic chemical like DHMO onto their entire crop?
If we can land a man on the moon, we should be able to come up with safer alternatives to DHMO.
It’s also the MAJOR constituent in acid rain.

It’s also a major ingredient in your precious condiments. I have a bottle of ketchup here, and I quote, “Ingredients: Tomatoes, Dihydrogen Monoxide, ketchup flavorings, Red D & C 40”
Ha. In fact, double ha.
A computer without a Microsoft operating system is like a dog without bricks tied to its head.
It’s a major ingredient in manny manny items we consume daily:
Pepsi-Cola: Carbonated DHMO is the first ingredient. (Nobody’s messing with my Pepsi fixes!)
Campbells Chunky vegetable soup: DMHO is the first ingredient.
Aunt Jemima maple-flavore syrup: DMHO is the fourth ingredient.
Heck, my Pillsbury and Duncan Hines cake mixes actually instruct people to add DMHO during preparation!

In fact, I hear that in Ohio, Dihydrogen monoxide has been known to cause fires!

That’s just an old wive’s tale. Next thing, you’re going to tell me you can’t pour battery acid on your salad! You wacky environmentalists.

Despite my admitted dependence on this stuff, I still can’t take it straight unless it has been chilled almost to its solid state. I injest large quantities daily (even at work), but it must be flavored in some way to make it palatable. While I realize that it has taken many lives, I just can’t help myself. Is there no respite from this chemical tyranny!
And to make matters worse, there was about a 1/2 inch of the stuff accumulated outside my home this morning, with more falling from the sky! What’s a person to do!

Not that it’s gone to my head or anything.
It’s my understanding that Dihydrogen monoxide doesn’t mix well with petrolium based products. I’m sorry I can’t provide a link to it. Maybe it’s an UL.

Hey, don’t forget that dihydrogen monoxide is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Just think what that means for global warming!
