In case it's not painfully obvious, this is a parody account.

Just yesterday I was about to eat an orange from the supermarket, but then someone told me these contain (2R)-2-[(1S)-1,2-dihydroxyethyl]-3,4-dihydroxy-2H-furan-5-one. I mean seriously, I can't even pronounce this - the question is who benefits from adding these chemicals to our fruits? The government?

Luckily for me though, I replaced oranges with a healthy dose of Cheerios™ and I'm feeling very healthy and refreshed.

    Wash that down with a Diet Coca-Cola™. Vitamins keep the bubbles fizzy!

    Oh no, I drank some Dihydrogen monoxide! I hope I don’t die, cases of death from Dihydrogen monoxide exposure are quite common

    Chemist here, no clue what this was at first glance. Hell's bells IUPAC names for organic molecules are ugly. It's ascorbic acid.

    Chemical engineer here, I remember when learning orgo that I thought the IUPAC names were hot shit and so formal and cool.

    As I got older and got exposure to industry it was a hard left turn. What do you mean "ethylene" is a better name for the olefin of ethane, vs ethene for the alkene? I mean seriously what kind of distinction is that?
