If you thought mustard in gas form was bad, then wait until you hear about mayonnaise in plasma form...

Bose-Einstein condiments will shook you.

I'm not much of a mustard guy myself, but I'll take a whiff of Sriracha gas if you got any.

You provide the Sriracha and I'll provide the Sriracha gas.

Must be Dijon mustard gas.

[-] Apollo2323@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 9 months ago

Wait? I am confused wasn't that gas called Mustard because of the color?

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago

Based on smell.

Sulfur mustards are viscous liquids at room temperature and have an odor resembling mustard plants, garlic, or horseradish, hence the name

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mustard_gas

One of my relatives got hit with it in WWI. As a result, in later years, he went blind and had lung issues that ended up killing him way too young. He (and apparently others in his company) had to fight to get disability.

I was told the enemy would first fire a gas that would induce vomiting so soldiers would have to take off their gas masks to puke just in time for them to fire the really bad shit. I haven't verified that detail though so maybe it got mixed up hearing it third hand. He died years before I was born.

From german wikipedia: It was a practice called Buntschießen, ~ multi-color shooting, as German chemical weapons were color-coded. One would start with "Maskenbrechern" ~mask-breakers (blue) , designed to force soldiers to remove their masks, which were then followed by lung-affecting agents (green).
