Given the way Chloroform is synthesised, it would probably be more accurate to say that dichloromethane is the main ingredient in chloroform :-)
CH2Cl2 + Cl2 → CHCl3 + HCl

We used to use chloroform at work to clean parts but it got banned partially because we kept knocking each other out with it for #lulz but mainly because a colleague managed to knock himself out one day and he smashed his head on a work bench.
Then we moved to benzene but that got banned last year because it's a liquid brain tissue dissolver.
Hasn't done me any harm though. BRB I'm going to go and stick some crayons up my nose #healthandsafety

Indeed, and, damnit too late. Dichloromethane is a single molecule (CH2Cl2), consisting of one carbon atom, two hydrogen atoms, and two cholorine atoms replacing the hydrogen atoms which would be present in normal methane. It has no ingredients, unless you count individual atoms as ingredients, which would be a highly unusual use of the word.
