Making up a name "Hydrozine" instead of just calling it "formic acid" makes this quite confusing. Maybe it works for marketing.

- kabdib 9y agoYeah, that was a little too subtle. I had to check it a few times before I realized they weren't talking about hydrazine (toxic, probably carcinogenic if it doesn't kill you right away, and definitely not something you want putting around on public roads). If I were their marketing, I'd pick something else, fast. Something a good hamming-distance away from anything requiring special suits for handling, and that doesn't include steps in release protocols like "evacuate nearby towns".
- dkuder 9y agoMixing "hydrozine" with hydrazine gives a hydrazone. "bug juice" seems like a better name.
