Apparently 10% of sodas in the US (most of them citrus) contain a chemical called BVO. This chemical is "also added to polystyrene foam cushions in furniture and plastics in electronics because BVO can slow down the chemical reactions that cause a fire." Not only that but it is banned in Europe and Japan. Really? Well at least we don't have to worry about self-combustion. Check out more in

So that's why spontaneous combustion is no longer a problem. I bet that's why it's in there. Genius. Your Sis.
