Here's something I learned recently: ordinary dish soap will eat through metal within a few years
We were using this for the in-sink kitchen soap dispenser until... the incident
#RIP #SkyDogCon, and your little water bottle too
Discussion
Aluminum bottle?
How ordinary of a dish soap?
I think it was aluminum. I can at least say it was non-ferris.
Dish soap was just grocery store dish soap, like ajax.
It made quite the mess
As in the orange scented ajax?
The three active ingredients are two mild alkaline surfactants and ethanol.
That will successfully eat through aluminum given enough time.
Yikes! I would not expect that to happen.
If you want to have some organic chemistry fun.
Grab a Champaign bottle, some standard latex balloons, powdered drain-o, and aluminum foil.
You can make flammable balloons.
(Same chemical reaction)
I wouldn't expect dish detergent to have enough caustic stuff to eat aluminum, though.
Given enough time
I was also surprised. At first we thought I had just overfilled it by a lot. It was a few weks later when it was time to refill that we found the hole.
Thanks for the explanation and the suggested science experiment. 🤓
If you can find timed cannon fuse, you can float the balloons over other peoples property and have even more fun.😆
