    Ethanol based hand sanitizers became popular during covid due to shortages and I still run into them occasionally. They’re the ones that smell like moonshine … I still advise against drinking them.

      I can’t remember which alcohol company bottled/made it, but I had a bottle of sanitizer given to me when none of the stores had any available. It smelled god awful. Like the last dregs of a bottle of everclear after its been sat out for 3 days. I couldn’t give that bottle away to anyone so I just left it in a lobby somewhere.

        I’m in fire/EMS and we had some with a smell that is best described as “college drinking party”.

        Like the adult professionals we are: we’d trick our coworkers into using it before we walked into someone’s house. We stopped when someone complained we were clearly drinking on the job.
