Also dunno how to answer that! A lot of organic chemicals are useful for their chemical structure rather than their function or physical properties. This is one of them.

Spent a very long Summer working the fish counter at Sainsbury’s in Bracknell and can confirm that this is the correct answer. Washing your hands with lemon juice every day is all well and good until you cut yourself
