Behold! The epic chemical crossroads for our unsaturated fatty acid protagonist! Choose your destiny: the sunny path of hydrogenation (turning those bendy double bonds into straight-laced saturated fats) or the dark, stormy road of bromination (where bromine atoms attach to those same double bonds like tiny chemical vampires).

It's basically a fatty acid RPG where vegetable oil must decide its chemical fate. Go left and become margarine! Go right and become... well, a brominated compound that probably shouldn't be in your sandwich. The chemistry life choices are HARD, people!
