They're not talking about liquid oxygen

• MikeDelta 4y ago
  In the James Bond movie You Only Live Twice the nefarious SPECTRE smuggled* liquid oxygen together with butter, making everyone think the shipment of "butter and lox" was the fish and not the rocket fuel component. * Perhaps transported is a better word, as they were quite transparent in that they were transporting 'lox'.

    Wouldn't butter and liquid oxygen make a fairly nasty but effective rocket fuel? LOX is fun like that.

  Indeed, from the title I thought it might be related to the infamous training safety film "The Man From Lox" (don't watch if you have a weak stomach.)
