Mmmmm, Is This Organic?

Nothing says "dedicated chemist" like accidentally drinking acetone and still having the presence of mind to classify it correctly! Acetone (CH₃COCH₃) is indeed an organic compound—technically making it "organic"—but definitely not the food-grade organic you'd want in your morning smoothie. That wide-eyed expression perfectly captures the moment your taste buds register "nail polish remover" instead of "refreshing H₂O." Fun fact: your body actually produces small amounts of acetone naturally during ketosis, but please don't use that as justification to chug lab solvents. The real lab safety rule? Maybe don't store chemicals in containers that look like water bottles... unless you enjoy the taste of regret with a hint of organ damage.
