What are two things that are good on their own but bad when combined? And bad things that are good when combined? - eviltoast

I just learned about “Salt (NaCl) is actually a combination of a highly poisonous gas (Cl) and a hazardous metal (Na)”.

I’m sure there are lots of examples in life that this rule also applies to.

    I don’t like espresso, or any coffee really, and I definitely don’t like Liquor 43. But there’s a South American cocktail called a Carajillo that’s those two ingredients, fresh espresso and Liquor 43 and nothing else, dry shaken together… and its friggen delicious. Just absolutely amazing.

      Hehe, not just South American, it’s pretty common in Spain, with a variety of spirits … I’ve seen people using Cognac, Anise … all kinds really, some more controversial than others.
