I twisted the lid off and took a swig...only to discover that the purple liquid I just dumped into my mouth was my purple nail polish remover.
Nice, a mouth full of acetone. Upon contact the stuff burned so badly that even my teeth ached. Instinctively I spewed it out into the sink and craned my head under the faucet and sat there, letting the water flush out my searing mouth. I could taste the stuff for hours after that so I chain-chewed gum until I drifted off to sleep. (dangerous, I know, because that gum could easily have ended up in my hair - and that wouldn't have been the first time either) Today my tongue is raw and sore but I'm happy because at least my teeth didn't dissolve.
So the moral of this story is: Don't gargle nail polish remover.

Holy moley, did you make me laugh -- until I read where you almost dissolved all of your mouth innards. That was scary. Glad to hear you still have your teeth, even if they are a little sore.
Holy Crap! That is so scary! I was spitting for you! Gross!
Thanks for spitting for me Vic - it was pretty awful. And Nicole you can probably safely laugh now since it's been almost a week and my teeth are still here.
