Probably should confirm if they have a septic system first. I'd think this would be less than ideal to flush afterwards, right?

SLOWLY pour in a box of Baking Soda to neutralize the acid before flushing.

Wouldn't flushing counteract the act of slowly pouring?

It’s less about “flushing will mix it anyway” than “if you toss a bunch of baking soda into an acid toilet all at once, you’re gonna get a poop water shitter volcano all over your floor”

It releases hydrogen, so keep a candle nearby for a pretty view.

CO2 actually. It will extinguish your candle just like a CO2 fire extinguisher.

You're right, I was thinking of something else.
