We're not being flip about people dying but you have to have certain level of intelligence to garner any sort of sympathy.

Uh, somebody poured the oil for the dead woman. You fools are so quick to judge that you don't bother to read. It must make you feel so superior, as if you never made mistakes in your life. Ditto for the Jersey bigotry. I know people in Jersey who are almost certainly more intelligent than the rabid bunch here.

Where's Jake or Jen when you need them?

Everyone's amazed that these people could make such mistakes, but need I point out, it IS Jersey we're talking about here...

Mistook the oil for bottled water??

Then someone else mistook the oil for baby formula, then someone else thought it was cough medicine, then someone else...

Tiki Torch Oil looks like apple juice. Actual kerosene is a similar substance, but it is clear.

Matty - I agree, the level of compassion exhibited by most of this site's posters is on par with the employees at Kings County Hospital.

Plus, water and apple juice do not have the same consistency as kerosene. Reminds me a bit of the SNL commercial for clear gravy that mocked Clear Pepsi.

"Kerosene is usually clear.

"But the other person thought it was 'apple juice' which isn't clear. It's either clear or yellowish."

Fortunately, there's a picture of it right at the top of the page so this debate can be settled. It's clearly yellowish.

Myrna: "What do you have to drink?"

Oscar: "Brown juice and Green juice."

Myrna: "What's the difference?"

Oscar: "Two weeks."

"Soda, purple stuff.. Hey, Tiki Torch Oil!"

@matty

"How do you mistake a yellowish oil for water??"

Kerosene is usually clear.

But the other person thought it was "apple juice" which isn't clear. It's either clear or yellowish. The article did say that, "the bottle has a warning label, written in both English and Spanish." We're not being flip about people dying but you have to have certain level of intelligence to garner any sort of sympathy.

wouldnt you know after the first whiff that it wasnt apple juice or water?

morons.

"How do you mistake a yellowish oil for water??"

Kerosene is usually clear.

How do you mistake a yellowish oil for water??

You guys are awfully flip about someone dying. People get poisoned all the time from accidental ingestion. I wouldn't call that funny.

Darwin used to call these stupid-clusters

hmm...last week nyc poison control had a table set up at an home expo that focused on bed bugs, lead paint, asthma triggers, etc...

the poison control dept had a whole table set up with household cleaners and the like, next to food or bevergage products that look very similar. def an 8 yrl old could make that mistake. I think they had a small bottle of kerosene next to a bottle of honey.

just the thing to wash down that chore-boy sandwich

With the earths limited resources we need to start doing this more. I am going to start putting tiki oil in the frige at work in the same tiki bottle and let the fun begin.

Who keeps their Tiki oil in the refrigerator?

Retards. Watch them sue claiming that they did not properly label the bottle with big enough letters so that their blind dumb asses can read.

They weed themselves out.

Tiki Torch Oil != Water for a coffeemaker.
