What is drano?

In: Plumbing [Edit categories]

Answer:

Drano is not hydrochloric acid... Drano is the exact opposite. It's a base. This is why people end up doing stupid stuff and getting chemical burns on their face. If you think Drano is the same as HCI, then mix some Drano and HCI. If your right and its the same thing, nothing will happen. (Hint: Make sure you have somebody standing by to drive you the the hospital after you mix it).
