YSK a slice of bologna can make the paint on a car peel off due to its high level of salt and lactic acids

Why you should know: a number of reasons. My boss used to throw bologna slices at moving vehicles either as a prank or out of road rage. What made me think you should know is an incident that happened to a friend the other day where they saw an ex's car following them. That could be a subtle way to mark dangerous cars to alert others of stalkers or other such dangerous people.

My boss used to throw bologna slices at moving vehicles

Did he have a road rage cooler all ready? Were they pre-sliced and ready to go for this occasion? Would he go to the grocery store and pick up some road bologna?

Didn’t your parents teach you to never leave the house without your pocket bologna? sheesh

Always remember to separate from your pocket sand.

never leave home without your lunchables

or your dinnerables, for that matter. not sure about breakfastables or second breakfastables though

so what was the job? if your boss had time to whip lunchmeat at moving vehicles... what was he paying you to do?

I assume he always has a road sandwich and just pulls a piece off

This is my thought too, did he just have them on hand and ready all the time?

Or were they like...sour smelling slices he kept in a weird tupperware on the passenger seat.

The boss is a bologna elemental meat golem.

Protip. Eat the bologna. Use brake fluid if you want to ruin car paint. It's hard to wash off without solvent and it will dissolve clear coats, paint and fog glass

for some of us kids, it's a bit easier to come by a slice of balogna than a pint of brake fluid. that said, I've known the many benefits of brake fluid since I was just a 12 year old dipshit in grade 7

Does this work on ICE vehicles too or just EVs?

These are the useless kind of you should know facts that I need in my life.

Could hot dogs serve the same purpose in a pinch?

They don't have the same sticking power though, unless maybe you mandolin them into thin slices...

YSK: I've known this since I was in middle school in 1987
