You know, it's amazing is Dennis don't even know where it comes from.
We talked to Dennis and they're like, well, it comes from the ground.

So it's an industrial waste product is what it is.
So when they make phosphate fertilizer in chemical factories, the waste byproduct is
It's literally the soot that accumulates in the smokestack.
Wow.
So they have to run scrubbers.
They call them stack scrubbers.
They go up and down the stacks to scrub the f*** out because if it gets out into the air, it'll kill everything for like 50 miles, which actually happened in Florida back in like the 50s or something.
They killed a bunch of cattle with it.
And the cattle were like getting cancer and like being deformed and all kinds of stuff.
So they kind of had to, you know, stop that.
So they did the scrubbing.
So then they take that soot that they scrub out of there
They literally take it right through there and put it in our toothpaste and put it in our water.
Yeah.

If you take a cup of and you dumped it on the floor right here, we'd all die.
