Dihydrogen Monoxide Containment Kit

Every year thousands of people are put at risk from exposure to Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO). Widely unreported by the media and virtually ignored by government agencies, this silent chemical remains unknown to the majority of people facing possible exposure. This new containment system provides users with an easy but effective way to carefully contain and transport DHMO for proper storage or disposal. Please consult local waste and disposal guidelines for compliance with county and state regulations.

If you're still reading this text... you're either horrified by the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide... or you realized that you've been had. That's right... punked... it's a joke! Did it really take you this long to figure out what this chemical compound might be? The name dihydrogen (that's two hydrogen atoms) monoxide (that's one oxygen atom) is just another way of saying water - H20.

Now that you know what we're talking about, go back and read the original descriptions and watch the videos a second time for an even better laugh. But there is a serious side to this April Fool's Day prank - it goes to demonstrate the extent of our science illiteracy issues in the U.S. It's easy to fall victim to this kind of prank when science is considered "hard" or characterized as "something we just don't get." We take outrageous claims about a dangerous chemical to heart and treat the threats as fact before even attempting to understand the basic science of dihydrogen monoxide.

Now it's your turn. Keep all of this under your hat and send any of the links below to a friend. Test out our theory of science illiteracy running rampant throughout this country by testing your friend's knowledge of dihydrogen monoxide.

Just copy & paste this text and send it to a friend.

Hey, I just found this online and can't believe how dangerous it is!!! Watch this:

I just received my DHMO containment kit and it is truly spectacular. I have been using a DIY DMHO containment kit, and find your version of the kit to be vastly superior to the kit I've been using. Does anybody know if this kit is certified for use for automotive or canine DHMO applications? I have heard that DHMO has incredible results for those uses and have been wanting to try it for years.

I NEED THE PROTECTIVE SUITS...

Greetings. Already have the DiHyOx kit, but if I'm required to order more, is there a quantity discount other than the present code that you send me?
More importantly, I need to order the protective suits shown in the supporting pictures. Ironically, I was showered with the DiHyOx compound earlier this morning and without having a large, superabsorbent wipe nearby (NO..it wasn't a 'ShamWow'), I might still be coated in the stuff. A friend once overexposed himself to DiHyOx and appeared to age dramatically. His skin started to wrinkle similar to a prune beginning with his fingers and toes. However, that's another story...
Nonetheless, would really like to order the protective suits in the colors shown i.e Blue/Orange. I realized that they could be used in my color experiments too. Blue is a 'primary' color, Orange is 'secondary'. Heck, Blue and Orange are even 'complementary' colors on my circular, abstract, illustrative organization of color hues (psst...color wheel). Darn it...I need these suits now. Plus, they are really fashionable!!!

huh?

I clicked the add to cart button for this item but it didn't put the item in my cart.
I am quite concerned as I ordered some dihydrogen monoxide from Ebay, but they did not have a containment kit.
I read the MSDS and the stuff is very hazardous to breathe

;-)

Awesome

I haven't used the specific product sold but have used a similar highly specialized leak proof vessel made of plastic materials to successfully contain the dangerous dihydrogen Monoxide numerous times in the past. I can highly recommend it! It's saved my life!

Who knew we needed this!?!

Will be ordering this for all my loved ones. When I think of all the years my family has been needlessly exposed to dihydrogen monoxide, I can't believe it! I must say, however, that even as a child, my younger brother displayed an understanding beyond his years, as he valiantly resisted bathtime every night!
