I use canned air to clean my keyboards, computer fans and other things around my office. Only recently the canned air makers have begun to include a "Bittering Agent" in canned air in order to prevent inhalant abuse. The problem is that it makes the canned air unusable.

After only a little use, my office smells horrible - pungent and tangy. You can't get the taste out of the back of your throat for quite some time. It has got to be horrible for your health. I am terribly disappointed that the compressed air manufacturers have ruined this product in order to prevent slack-jawed morons from frying their brains.

I remember a few years ago there was a lot of news and "awareness" campaigns about how babies were drowning in 5 gallon, plastic buckets. The kind that paint or pickles come in. Some people even went so far as to suggest that the government pass a law mandating all bucket makers put holes in the buckets so that they wouldn't hold water. Fortunately they were laughed out of the room.

Unfortunately the compressed air makers succombed to demands to make the air so putrid that nobody wants to be around it. It has totally lost its usefulness and I will now look for alternatives.

I think the kind of canned air that is used for hand-held air horns isn't "bittered". Maybe I can find a screw-on trigger that will allow me to use that for cleaning my stuff.

If anyone knows where I can find clean, canned air, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!
