Mustard gas is the common name given to 1,1-thiobis(2-chloroethane), a chemical warfare agent that is believed to have first been used near Ypres in Flanders on 12th July 1917. Its chemical formula is Cl-CH2-CH2-S-CH2-CH2-Cl

Try to make words with the floating letters and you got hit for playing with your food.

Read "Aftermath" by Donovan Webster for a very well researched history of ordnance still in the ground from past wars. It's shocking how many of the WW1 chemical shells turn up every year.
