(Edited to add this:
You will note that my list contains Glacial Acetic Acid at 90%+ concentration - if the Chemist had sold me some, I'd be dead by now. So.. it's a list I could never actually use because of my lack of knowledge on how dangerous some of this stuff is. PAY THE EXTRA for Vinegar. Don't be a total moron like me.

And this is why I was mislead (not that it matters now because I could have been killed)
<-- I would say some very rude things about fat heifers but my skinny but should have done a better job of checking!)
