Making Thioacetone: The Worst Smelling Substance on Earth…and SMELLING IT | First-Ever Complete Demo

In the late 1880’s, German chemists produced a substance with a smell so powerful, that it caused city-wide panic and nausea. Less than a hundred years later, British researchers attempted to produce that very same chemical, and ended up clearing a building. The putrid chemical behind all of this hysteria is known as thioacetone, and it is listed as the foulest-smelling substance on Earth. Only a few records detailing human interaction with it exist, and no pictures or videos of it have ever been published…until now! Wanna support LabCoatz?
