    Yeah I remember it felt like fun, until I found out it was bad for you. That along with any kind of asphyxiation - who knew! You’d think just being able to look up “is huffing chrome bad for you” on the internet would inoculate kids against this kind of stupidity.

    By way of explanation, we were all quite poor and ignorant where I grew up.

      Yeah. We were poor and ignorant too.

      I remember when I realized how dangerous it was when a girl died … essentially drowning in the condensed gas fumes in her lungs. That woke us up quick.
