#1 Pak Cosmetics, in Finsbury Park
We got 80,000 customers that want to be instantly blonde? Hell, two questions.

1. Didn't these idiots consider breaking up their order?
B. Didn't Paki Cosmetics think this was odd?

Thanks gawd they're usually stupidized by the hOLEy Q'Kur"A"eM(tilde upon it).

#4 Was Pak Cosmetics owned/run by Pakistanis? If so, were they really surprised by the outcome of this particular sale? One would hope the police/MI-5/MI-6 has been looking very closely and the company and its people.

#5 "at its highest available concentration"

Would anyone happen to know exactly what this concentration was?

#8 6 meters drop for each ought to work fine

Especially if you put a three-meter long loop of double-base G-string piano wire around their necks. Need some place that's easy to clean up afterwards - like maybe a ship's hold, or the Tower Bridge.

#9 18% would take the paint off a car. More dilute than what you'd find in a chemistry stockroom, but far, far higher than anything you'd need for cosmetic use. H2O2 fries hair -- no professional uses it in any quantity for blonde coloring. Curious indeed.

#10 Hydorgen peroxide was used in early rocket fuels. It is very caustic in a pure form.

#11 I think 25% is the high limit for peroxide, IIRC 100 point is around this concentration for cosmetic use.
Horticultrally I can get around a 22% solution for use on plants. Long time ago the greenhouse where I worked had a drum of 50%, that was nasty stuff. Pre 9-11 I asked the reps what abot 50% (that's the lowest range for rocket use, IIRC rocket grade is above 75%) They said the BATF was keeping a close eye on 50% customers. After the London bombings I thought oh that's why.
