Why? This seems like some Darwin awards type thing. A quick google search pulled up quiet a bit of threads on this

So much context here.

Speaking of Darwin awards, why were you googling boiling fabuloso?

Bottom line, experts don't recommend using a chemical or cleaner for anything other than its intended use. So we can verify that boiling Fabuloso and similar cleaning products on the stove can be hazardous to your health.

Back before and during WWII, new rifles were packed in a heavy grease called cosmoline which was very labor intensive to remove. Soaking the rifles in boiling gasoline made the process much easier.

You boil it down to a concentrate and turn it into Stupendoloso.

There's a very high likelihood that the ones doing this are the ones that survived eating tide pods.

Looks like they've been duping the white man for a while now....

I still don't understand the purpose. Why would anyone boil Fabuloso or bleach? What does that have to do with cleaning?

It seems to make the house “smell” clean. Like an air freshener or something

Laziness. Don't clean the house. Just make it smell clean.
