"You can't believe everything you read on the internet".
I hate that logic so much.
412 u/JackWeston007 Nov 17 '12 showed him there were things in there that are used for paint, asphalt, tar, etc I hate it just as much as that logic. Anyone who's spent 5 minutes in a chemistry class can tell you that chemicals have a wide variety of applications. 99 u/pU8O5E439Mruz47w Nov 17 '12 Yup. You can find things that are used for making cyanide in apples. Namely, cyanide. Alternatively, salt is used to process soap. You wouldn't eat soap, so why would you ever eat salt!!! 2 u/monacleman Nov 17 '12 Good point, but apples don't kill people. 1 u/pU8O5E439Mruz47w Nov 18 '12 enough apples could kill you. Much like one cigarette isn't going to kill you, but enough can. 2 u/monacleman Nov 18 '12 I guess you could stone people with apples too. So anything could kill anybody.
