alt Hacker News> It must not be both a floor polish and a dessert topping.
I worked as a janitor for four years near a restaurant, so I know a little bit about floor polishing and dessert toppings. This law might be a little less universal than you think. There are plenty of people who would happily try out floor polish as a dessert topping if they're told it'll get them high.

It’s a reference to a very old SNL sketch called “shimmer”. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/03lLPUYkpYM
It probably won’t be up very long but it’s a classic.
I worked for awhile as a janitor in a college dorm. Not an easy job but it definitely revealed a side of humanity I might not have otherwise seen. Especially the clean out after students left for the year.
I thought that you were about to write: "as a janitor in a restaurant, the dessert topping is sometimes used as a floor polish".

I think that would be called a drug, not a desert topping.
Borax is an example of a substance that is simultaneously used for skin care, household cleaning, as soldiering flux, and ant killer. But I guess it is a constant with variable effects. Hard to be found in local shops anymore.
