That's not an aspirin, anyone knows they are little white round things!

 

[David E]

Sorry you mean one of these

That's the one!

Anyone taken one of those little diamond shaped blue ones? Just for a laugh?

 

[David E]

I hear they are OK if you swallow them quickly enough otherwize you get a stiff neck

Anyone taken one of those little diamond shaped blue ones? Just for a laugh?

I remember I used to take little round blue pills for a laugh.

And chewing gum. I remember lots of chewing gum. And not much sleep.

Here we go again, you mean 2-(acetyloxy)benzoic acid. Sigh.

 

[2scoops0406]

I remember lots of chewing gum. And not much sleep.

Or Polyethyl ethanoate (Poly vinyl acetate in old money)

I didn't write that.

 

[2scoops0406]

Sorry, I think my quotes went a bit awry there.

Depends dunnit: if you are in academia or industry. If you are old or young? If you think IUPAC is non-commital?

You seem to remember a lot from that which hasn't done you much good and 20 years ago!

Chemistry was my hobby (along with software engineering) as well, that shows you what an incredibly sad g1t I am.

Here's a good way to use it:

In a mortar, smash up some fresh ginger, garlic, juniper berries, sichuan pepper and sea salt crystals into a rough paste.

Finely shred savoy cabbage, curly kale or brussel sprouts, stir fry in a very hot wok for 30 seconds, add the paste and fry for another 15-30 seconds.

When do you add the chips and where's the chilli sauce man!
