Australian "E" testers

[E-n]

Hey i was talkin' to my bud on ICQ today and she said that ur supposed to use the testers within 2 months of opening and then after that the liquid goes bad... is this true or not???
Sorry if this has already been asked but i couldn't do a search... said that i'm not authorized to view the page or summin *shrugs*

all marquis testers go "bad" after a while. chem gen have put the time 2 months on their packaging, which is just as good a guess as anyone elses.
it's like milk. it has a use by date, but if you drink it after that date you dont necessarily die, do you?
your tester may, and probably will, last longer than that. it does tend to go brown after a while which makes seeing the reaction a bit more difficult.
the search function is having problems lately. thanks for at least trying

You would if you drank your EZ-Test

Actually not to joke, someone here in the UK died after drinking a glass of sulphuric acid.

The purple reaction of MDXX will generally always work for a long time; sulfuric acid last indefinitely.
The other colours, and the whole purple vs black thing wouldnt show up as well over time; most likely as the acid has altered the other constituents.
A whole glass? i hope that wasnt concentrated; that would have been horrific.

Yup.. a whole glass
