Do Not Open

Hi! I found this really cool book that's called Do Not Open. In a nutshell, it has a bunch of really cool secrets like UFOs, the Men-in-Black, Air Force 1, etc. They also have a section about ingredients in a 'naturaly flavored' strawberry milkshake. It had a bunch of horrid ingredients, so I thought that I would take a couple and fill you in on them. Happy reading!





  • Vanillin - WARNING! May be harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed...
  • Phenethyl Alcohol - Health Rating = 2 - Moderate (Poison).

  • Rum Ether - also a cigarette additive (cigarettes? Yum!!!).

  • Solvent - can result in damaged nervous and reproductive systems, including that of the liver, kidneys, and also can cause cancer (Who wants that? I don't).

  • Ethyl Nitrate - Health Hazardous rating of 3 out of 4.

  • High Fructose Corn Syrup - did you know that HFCS may actually contain trace amounts of the toxic element mercury? Neither did I.

  • Carrageenan - may lead to immflamatory bowel disease... (and this is the 10th ingredient. :) ).
  • and absolutely, positively NO ACTUAL STRAWBERRIES!!!!! :(

and the list goes on. It took my dad (who is a good reader) about five minutes to finish it. Anyway, think before you drink.
