RE: Re: [Philmont]: Lyrics to "Edge of Texas"?

Specifically, an industrial strength detergent. Back in the day of
cooking over an open fire, crews mixed up a paste of the Tetrox powder
and water, and smeared it on the outside of the cooking pots. The paste
cooked up to a nice, crusty shell that cleaned off relatively easily.

Ingesting a very small amount would do an equally good job of cleaning
out your gastro-intestinal system, hence the "Tetrox Trots".

Tetrox is soap. Never actually used the stuff, as I am far too young,
but I have heard of it. It came in a brown pouch, in the form of little
chips or flakes, I think.
