Even More Bacterial Waste
I am bacterial waste, oh yes,
But just what type, can you guess?
Some put me on their fish and chips,
Others on floors to prevent slips.
Some put me on salads, some in stews,
Some on windows, even shoes.
So I'm bacterial waste, oh yes,
But my name can you guess?

Hint

And if by chance I'm there in your booze,
You just might cry or sing the blues.
Answer

I'm used as a cleaner on floors, windows & shoes.
And as for the hint, if I'm found in your booze,
Your wine has sat too long and soured, my friend.
And vinegar is all that is left for you at the end.

This teaser is sweet.
very, very good teaser!
thanks I'm doing a riddle run this month.
I'm currently working on 2 riddles, would love to hear your comments whenever/ifever they get posted!
Nice Rhyme
I like! Makes me want a salad now...
Good one - I got the bit about fish and chips as being either salt or vinegar but I was still clueless as to which one!
EXCELLENT - It was even fun to read, with the answer in rhyme too. I didn't know vinegar was bacterial waste. See, you can have fun and learn with Braingle.
Very nice, Od!
that was too easy . i guess it was cute though . the fish and chips gave it away unless some people are cleaning their windows and floors with tartar sauce
Well done...and nicely crafted..would have been much tougher without the "fish and chips" tho
Vinegar on floors to prevent slips? No way! Anything wet on floors will cause serious slips. The rest I accept, but I guessed salt!
Now I know vinegar is bacterial waste! The fish and chips clue gave it away. but a very good teaser.
You can use it to clean oil off floors. It shouldn't be left in puddles.
A liquid on the floor to prevent slips? Never heard of it.
It also can be used in a small spray bottle as mace.
The fish and chips gave it away for me. Love vinegar on my fries.
Nice. The fish and chips gave it away. Ethanoic acid is formed from he oxidation of ethanol which is the alcohol in drinks.
Easy teasy. Fun read. I like it when hints and answers also follow form.
This was an easy one for pretty much everyone according to the comments, myself included. The fish and chips narrowed it down to just a few items right away! It was a good riddle and even the answer rhymed for good measure. Looking forward to seeing what you have coming up.
