One day, Ed and Jen were working in the lab and decided to break for some popcorn.
Unfortunately, they forgot the salt to go with it! So, using their knowledge of chemistry, they decided to pick a compound with similar bonding patterns.
They landed on either carbon tetrachloride or calcium chloride.
They decided to use carbon tetrachloride because they figured if it was a chloride it had to be a salt.
Also, it smelled really sweet!
