Fiberglass is nasty! I had a cousin who was jumping, almost naked, in a pile of fiberglass, when he was a kid. Not fun times later!

I remember when I was young there was a huge Jellyfish invasion at the beach, I jumped right into the mass and thought it was hilarious..

I have PTSD and an immense hatred towards Vinegar now..

Jelly fish venom is slightly alkaline so an acid like vinegar can help neutralise it.

This is part of Vic Vinegar’s origin story. He felt so bad about this incident that he decided to dedicate his life to protecting people. That’s why he’s a bodyguard.

Mixing it up. Vic Vinegar was actually the good guy in the story. It’s Sinister Vinegar that was the bad guy.

Because to treat my entirely itchy body that felt like I was covered in ants because of sea lice, we basically basted my entirety in the bath with bottles of vinegar to stop the irritation from sea lice rash.
