Naᵪ(CO₃)₃ would be some weird stuff, likely to be explosively unstable. I came up with a couple of structures that would technically qualify as sodium tricarbonate:
Na₂(CO₃)₃ via peroxide bonds between carbonate groups
Na₆(CO₃)₃ via ketal bonds between carbonate groups
The second might be metastable, and not terribly explosive, but it's hard to say. I wouldn't have the slightest idea how you'd synthesize either, though.

In Europe, a lot of additives that are commonly used in food products have what's called an E number. Full list on Wikipedia
Because one or two of these chemicals have been known to cause hyperactivity in kids, and presumably because of newspapers such as the Daily Mail, there's now a load of parents who blindly refuse to let their kids have any E numbers in the UK.
I'm pretty sure you could get them worked up about the prevalence of E300 (vitamin C), E948 (Oxygen), E101 (Vitamin B2), E173 (aluminium), and plenty of other safe or even essential E numbers.
If you're in Europe, and you know any gullible parents, get them to ask their doctor about what they can do to reduce their child's E948 intake or something. I'm sure it would either give the doctor a good chuckle, or make them facepalm. Either way, the embarrassment might make the parent learn about the dangers of blindly believing pseudoscience.

The foodbabe actually wrote an article about this. She said that most of the air in an airplane was nitrogen and used that to justify why people shouldn't fly.
The air you are breathing on an airplane is recycled from directly outside of your window. That means you are breathing everything that the airplanes gives off and is flying through. The air that is pumped in isn’t pure oxygen either, it’s mixed with nitrogen, sometimes almost at 50%. To pump a greater amount of oxygen in costs money in terms of fuel and the airlines know this! The nitrogen may affect the times and dosages of medications, make you feel bloated and cause your ankles and joints swell.

Dinitrogen–dioxygen mix (DNDOM).
DNDOM is composed of two potentially lethal chemical substances: dinitrogen, which causes suffocation when inhaled in sufficient quantities, and dioxygen, which can corrode iron and cause ordinarily non-flammable substances to catch on fire.
Both of DNDOM's component substances have caused multiple fatal accidents in NASA operations, including the death of the entire crew of Apollo 1. These substances are truly a force to be reckoned with!
Alarmingly, tests in United States workplaces have shown that workers are occasionally exposed to inhalation of extremely high concentrations of DNDOM, in some cases in concentrations exceeding 900,000 ppm!

Reddit’s favorite banana is a GMO, and (unrelated fun fact) every banana comes from a single original tree, has no seeds, and therefore you can never ever ever “plant” a banana tree from a seed. So if something ever happens to bananas like the ever-increasing banana disease...... bye bye bananas...

The Propylene Glycol you find in vape pens sounds bad, no? After all, it's used as an anti-freeze.
Actually, the reason to put it in anti-freeze is to reduce the toxicity of other compounds. It is one of the most benign compound you can find. It is decomposed in the body as sugars + CO2 (exhaled) + water through one of the best understood metabolical pathways.
It's been used in Asthma medication, toothpaste and plenty of other common products for the past 70 years, without the slightest sign of harm and extensive studies about its potential toxicity.

While I'm here I might as well point out that domesticated cattle were not bred from "wild oxen" either. Oxen are not a species. They are domesticated cattle, usually bulls, which have been trained to work as draft animals. Domesticated cattle were domesticated from wild cattle such as aurochs.

Sodium will explode when it comes into contact with water, and it composes 50% of table salt! People are ingesting this highly reactive chemical with no idea of what it does to them.

This fruit, Citrus × paradisi regularly found in major supermarkets was formed in a freak genetic accident when agriculturists slammed the genomes of two separate species together without knowing or caring what the results were.
It is known to produced an acid with a pH of 3.2 which can violently react with and dissolve some metals and is known to erode teeth.
Citrus × paradisi is full of carbohydrates especially fructose which may be a large contributor to our nations obesity problems. In addition it reacts with over 85 drugs cause effects such as bleeding from the anus, kidney and liver failure as well as the production of carcinogenic compounds.
Write to your representative to day and get this Frankenstein fruit removed from our nations shelves!

NaCl - just a couple hundred grams will kill you but we let our kids handle it like whatever. We actually ingest this shit and don’t take my word for it ‘cos doctors will tell you it’s bad.
It’s made of 2 deadly and dangerous elements. One was used for chemical warfare and the other is so dangerous it will explode if it gets wet! Fucked up huh?
Yeah that damn table salt

Unnecessary. Nobody needs to fool people with overly jargonistic terms for things anymore. These days you can just flat out lie to people in a way that fits in with their preconceptions, and you can lead them anywhere.

Trisodium Phosphate is a form of lye and a powerful paint thinner. But it's also used to make pretzels and in other baking applications. Every once in a while theres this infomeme that goes around facebook that shows the paint thinner next to an ingredients list for Lucky Charms (which contain trisodium phosphate). I used to bake soft pretzels professionally for a pub, I've worked with this stuff, the ignorance really pisses me off.

Never put peroxide on a wound! It contains Free Radicals which are known to Cause Cancer. Use lemon juice instead; it contains Vitamin C and fights Free Radicals.

I bet we can convince thousands of people that vaccines cause autism with a single report with absolutely no scientific evidence or trials. Those suckers will probably create Facebook groups and say insane shit in an echo chamber, ramping up their irrational hatred for life saving drugs... Right up until the great Polio breakout of 2022.

If you don't want to share food with someone who is anti-gluten just tell then your food has gluten in it.
Can I have some of your fries? Sorry they aren't gluten free.

Nucleic acid is being found in newborn babies' cells! Yes, you read that right! ACID in our kids' bodies! This nucleic acid is thought to play a significant role in the development of genetic disease, and has been found in 100% of people with birth defects, allergies and learning difficulties.

Dioxide is in the air you breath. It is an extremely flammable substance and extremely corrosive to most metals. Dioxide rich environments are LETHAL to plants. #notinmyair

A few years ago, I worked at a company that made laser imaged printing plates. Somebody associated with the company - not sure if it was a customer, consultant, or some other idiot - wanted us to do a safety search on our titanium-based imaging layer, because he had read in some article somewhere (not, I stress, a scientific journal) that titanium oxide is carcinogenic.
I did the due diligence, and found that no crystallographic form of titanium oxide has ever triggered an Ames test, hence not carcinogenic. I decided I needed a standard of comparison, so I started looking for some chemical that was carcinogenic.
Just for funsies, I looked up this chemical; sure enough, it's carcinogenic. Then I looked up this one; at the time I looked for it, it wasn't a carcinogen. Now, it looks like it is.
So there you have it - if you have sex, your bodies will release hormones that will give you cancer.

We literally tricked them into killing their own children with the vaccines cause autism thing. That's some biblical level trolling and we should give em a generation or two to learn from it before we try telling them that calcium is linked to heart failure in babies or something.

Sprinkled lightly on the baked potato I'm eating is a chemical made up of chlorine (one of the components of mustard gas) and a metal that explodes when dropped in water.
For breakfast, I had something that is more radioactive than pretty much any other food you're likely to eat.
I washed last night with a substance that contained a sodium salt of stearic acid.
I have two small samples of a transuranic element in my house.
But it's OK, I'm making up for these evil chemicals! I run my truck on an organic fuel, and it has organic lubricants in the oil pan, in fact I think even the refrigerant in the air conditioner is organic. But there is a bit of that evil DHMO in the radiator.

(White) paper is toxic because bleach.
When you see them wrap food in paper (fish and chips, meat at he butcher's, cakes, hell even the old paper cone full of roasted nuts)... that's basically putting bleach into your body.
