Is Home Depot 30% acetic acid vinegar at $20 a gallon ok to use for food (2025 Update) FAQ

I left out deer, gazelle, antelope, etc. but thsee are almost always wild animals that are caught by shooting them and that makes them unkosher. There are a few deer farms that sell mail-order, and I've seen kosher bison meat right at the butcher shop.

Because in the Bible, God instructs Jews not to eat other animals.

Camels chew their cud but they don't have cloven hooves.

Some similarity but big differences.

Are you saying camel toes are not kosher???  I'll be damned!!!

I've heard of people eating chicken wings, crabs legs, and pigs knuckles, but never camel toes.

A lot of men will chase a camel toe if the rest of her looks good

Too often it's ten pounds of camel in a five pound spandex container.

It can be used for cleaning brick and concrete - less agressive than Hcl - can also be used for removing rust and ruiststains, or lime deposits on metal, plastic, or glass. Also kills odors in laundry. Just do NOT mix it with bleach!!!!!!!!!

The Pinto was a darn good little car - and safe after the $5 plastic sheild was installed to keep the bumper bolts frop puncturing the tank in a 10MPH crask. The vega, on the other hand, had few redeaming qualities. Not necessarily the wortst CAR, but one of the worst ENGINES produced in North America

I have never seen an engine with as heavy a "wax" build-up as one I tore down years ago that had run exclusively on Quaker state. I never liked the stuff. Back then I ran either Kendall GT1 or Castrol GTX - - except on my oil burning beaters where I used "Nugold" from Canadian tire. Before the rebuild my 850 mini went through a quart of #50 in less than 100 miles - even with 2 cans of STP added.

The glass jars were used to display and dispense "Bulk" oil. We has a 200 gallon tank in the store room of the "seasonal" oil - and 45 gallon drums of the lesser used grades in the early years - then went to multigrade 10W30 in the big tank. It was decanted from the tanks with a hand pump. In later years we used a metered pump for oil changes - it pumped the oil out of the bulk tank into the crankcase and measured how much you installed. Bulk oil saved having to deal with first the metal cans, then the cardboard ones, then the plastic bottles. A busy garage could generate MOUNTAINS of empties every week!!!!! 300 cans a week was a slow week at the service station where I started when we were forced to use packaged oil when the bulk truck couldn't make it.

Back then it was a texaco station, and the tank was filled with Havoline. At other placesI worked (shell and Esso) that's what was in the tank. At the independents and dealerships I worked at it was usually Castrol GTX or Valvoline as our local supplier was a Castrol distributor and a Valvoline distributor. Breslube was a local re-refiner (basically a refinery that used used oil as feedstock instead of crude) and their re-refined oil was also a very high quality oil - and they collected the waste oil from all the local outfits.

You're probably right, but I was relying on my memories from 55 years ago. My older brother's friend had a Pinto and it was an awful car in every way. No power, poor handling, uncomfortable, and it sent girls running in the opposite direction. Meanwhile, a friend of mine had a Vega and it was fine. He was one of those high schoolers whose dad buys him a different car every year, so he didn't have the Vega for long.

Oh, the guy who had the Pinto talked his dad into replacing it with a 1972 Chevelle. That body style is still one of my favorites.

Thanks for explaining that the 30% acetic acid is used straight on brick and concrete for cleaning, and for removing rust stains or lime deposits on metal, plastic or glass, and in reducing odors in laundry.

When I looked at the hundreds of Home Depot questions that Retirednoguilt had suggested, the Harris producer of the acid was very responsive, saying for most of the uses people wanted it wasn't useful for or to dilute it.

I thought I could use it for food but Retirednoguilt was the first to say it can't be used for food, and since I already do my cleaning of white scale on kitchen implements, coffee pots and outdoor tools, I don't need to clean brick (of which I have none) nor concrete (of which I have a lot).

Most of my concrete is painted stucco walls, but the driveway is concrete, but it would take a dump truck's worth of vinegar to clean the driveway.

I returned it, but funny story - the counter lady at Home Depot mentioned people open it, and replace it with water, so she said she's smell it to tell if I had done that - but I left it unopened so it had the foil seal.

Twenty bucks back into my pocket for me to use on some other impulse item!

Which had a worse engine, the Mazda RX3 or that Vega?

Compared to my 8 yearold mini with 196000 miles on it ANYTHING was a good car!!!! My first girlfriend liked the mini enough she bought herself one after we split - - -I guess it held good memories for her

- - -

At least the RX made POWER while it was running unlike the "Tonnawanda tea kettle" The REAL problem with the Vega was the radiator was too small and the cooling system over-all was marginal. If a vega was never overheated it would go a LONG time - but they ALL overheated eventually (partly due to poor sealing, but mostly because Harrisson supplied a large heater core in place of a real radiator

---) That's how they got the nickname - after the plant they were built in

- - the "Tonnawanda Tea Kettle" among techs.

It is for killing weeds instead of using Roundup. Mix 2 gallon of 30% vinegar, 1/4 cup of table salt and 1/4 cup of Dawn dish washing soap. Mix and put in a sprayer. Only spray this mixture on plants you want to kill

I got me four gallons of the stuff slated for weed killer.

I hear that 30% works on toilets rust and mineral stains. You hear anything about that and would it hurt the porcelain?

The Green Gobbler in the green container is worthless. Not a single weed reacted to it. As far as I can tell, it has no vinegar in it. The previous white bottle worked fine.
