  Well, you might’ve heard foods with carbohydrates are sometimes referred to by the abbreviation “carbs". If you know carbs are food, it’s obvious the word starting in “carb-” is the edible one.

  If you weren’t familiar with that abbreviation, here’s another memory helper: Spaghetti carbonara contains carbs.

  If you’re also not familiar with spaghetti carbonara, I’m very sorry for you.

    But spaghetti also needs water so wouldn’t that make it a hydrocarbonara?

    Don’t cars have carborators? Are carborators edible?

    I don’t know anything about cars except they go vroom. I know even less about chemistry.

      I have never herd of anyone eating a carburetor and dying, so we have to assume it’s safe to eat

  Carbohydrates are the ones with (H_2 O)_n

  To hydrate means to add water. Hence a hydrate has OH2 added.
