Cryolite Memes

Chemistry nerds in their natural habitat! Regular folks call it "cryolite" but watch a chemist transform into a monocle-wearing Pooh Bear when they can flex with "sodium hexafluoroaluminate" instead. It's the same compound used in aluminum production, but saying the full IUPAC name makes you feel like you're hosting a TED talk. Nothing says "I have a PhD" quite like refusing to use the mineral's common name at dinner parties.
