Produced in sachet-form, the extinguishers work by breaking a capsule inside the pack, allowing vinegar and baking soda to mix and create flame-smothering carbon dioxide, which could then be released by tearing off a perforated corner. “We’re not looking to compete with those selling (full-sized) fire extinguishers because the target here is people who can’t afford to buy them in the first place,” Jayme told adobo.
