ISIS And Obama’s Master Plan To Usher Armageddon
Most take Obama as an imbecile when in reality, the ones who accuse him as such are being imbeciles.

Lucky Harms
Claim:   Popular cereals (including Lucky Charms and Cheerios) contain paint thinner and pose a danger to children.  FALSE.
It is true that trisodium phosphate is effective as a cleaning agent, due in part to its alkalinity. Sodium bicarbonate is a similarly scary-sounding chemical compound used in heavy-duty cleaning, as an agent to detarnish silver, and to extinguish fires. But you cannot make chocolate chip cookies without the leavening power of baking soda, as it is more commonly known, and leavening is another common use for sodium phosphates. Similarly, water is a very common substance used for such tasks as cleaning, scrubbing silverware, and extinguishing fires, yet it poses no harm to consumers.
