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

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
