I just learned about "Salt (NaCl) is actually a combination of a highly poisonous gas (Cl) and a hazardous metal (Na)".

I'm sure there are lots of examples in life that this rule also applies to.

Chemistry is so weird like that, you should see the Nile red stuff where he turns paint thinner into cherry soda https://youtu.be/NIVkBs7oWDI?si=EK4OnaCu-zw4Ffzr

Or plastic gloves into hot sauce https://youtu.be/1B3Xi5L6siI?si=hqti_mueK2o-0A_h

Or cotton balls into cotton candy https://youtu.be/vHuFizITMdA?si=5-KRqq1qUz3S9Znq

Haha the thought Emporium is similar too, but more biotech sort of stuff (which can be disturbing to some). He makes chicken soup out of chemicals as it's just taste buds manipulation https://youtu.be/sR8M4zARBXY?si=vuOkeYvR8IqFr3ZK

Milk into socks https://youtu.be/O4pVny7NV8E?si=ieas2EfrVMbNoTz1

Or a meat leaf https://youtu.be/JNfQCRzcr3o?si=AGwejFi2wqqoDSKv

So is it possible that these things really have of those properties of real things not just taste buds manipulation? So was the cotton to cotton candy... Made it REAL COTTON CANDY? IF YES THEN I'M LEAVING THIS PLANET.

Cotton to cotton candy isn't hard, they're both carbohydrates already.
