The discussion centers around the confusion and potential dangers of consuming Fabuloso, an all-purpose cleaner that resembles grape juice in appearance. Participants express disbelief that anyone would drink such a product without reading the label, emphasizing that it is clearly a cleaning agent. Accidental consumption cases are highlighted, including one where a mother mistook the cleaner for juice due to poor visibility. The conversation touches on the product's packaging, noting that it is marketed differently in various regions, with some labels lacking clear indications of its purpose. There is also commentary on the cultural context of cleaning products, particularly those aimed at Hispanic communities, and the implications of product labeling and safety. Overall, the thread underscores the importance of awareness and caution when handling household cleaners.

Does it have alcohol in it? I've heard of alcoholics carrying lysol bottles around and drinking from them.

Are you sure it's Lysol and not Listerine? Alcoholics have been know to drink plenty of mouthwash to get 'drunk'...

It looked like milk, and it was in the refrigerator, and the container was like a plastic milk container, but from there, I don't know what it was.

You can buy it out of a cooler here at any Mexican restaurant, and some stores have it in plastic bottles.

This reminds me... Some one from Canada once told me that the Mountain Dew they sell there doesn't have caffiene in it. It was apparently decided that a person buying a clear colour soda should be able to reasonably assume that it does not contain caffiene.

How stupid. Doesn't its place next to 30 other caffeinated drinks kind of give it away? I mean every other drink that doesn't have caffeine has "CAFFEINE FREE" printed in a very noticable way.
