13. Minnie Bromine’s Future Career Choices Minnie Bromine has a number of career choices before her. She can open her own flame retardant chemical factory. When she is chemically combined with flame retardant chemicals, and the material burns, it produces hydrobromic acid which interferes with the oxidation reaction of the fire. Since fires have to have oxygen to burn, they’re harder to start when Minnie’s around. Another career choice for Minnie is to go into the oil industry. When added to gasolines as ethylene bromide, she helps the engine knock less. Which seems to be important to new car owners. However, job prospects in this field have been declining since the 1970’s due to environmental regulations. Another career path Minnie might choose is to go into the soda business. When used in the production of brominated vegetable oil in citrus-flavored soft drinks such as Mountain Dew it acts as an emulsifier. As long as she stays in the US, her prospects are pretty good at securing employment. As you can see, Minnie has many profitable choices ahead of her. Page 8
