"Each year, more than 90,000 pets and wild animals and 4,000 children accidentally ingest antifreeze from driveways, puddles, curbside road spills and the bottle itself. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that up to 60 people die annually from ingesting ethylene glycol. Ingestion of antifreeze is often fatal. In cases where death does not occur, it causes extreme sickness, including loss of appetite, spastic motion of the eyeballs, dizziness, abdominal pain, respiratory arrest or cardiovascular collapse, coma or acute renal failure. Skin absorption also can contribute to the systemic poisoning. Even individuals who drink tiny amounts of ethylene glycol and survive the initial acute effects because of a quick emergency response, usually die three to 17 days later from kidney failure. "
Oh I forgot - you're one of the people who think business should just do whatever they want and don't give a sh*t about anybody but yourself.

I know it will kill you, therefore, I have enough intelligence not to drink it.

I also do not drink gasoline, play in traffic, grab live electrical wires.

Go rant to someone else.
