    Friendly reminder that about 2lbs of sugar ruins about 2 tons of concrete.

      Is this a sugar in gas tank reference, or a general sabotage ref? Does sugar actually destroy concrete?

          You would have to add it while it’s still mixing right?

              You could pour it on while it’s wet, but would that do much?

                I’m no expert, I looked it up. It won’t destroy concrete unless crazy large amounts are dumped in the mix.

                Yes, while mixing. Like any other chemical reaction it requires contact to make the reaction. If the contact is limited to a certain area only that area will be impacted. It’s not magic. The sugar doesn’t multiply and move itself through the median.
