What are two things that are good on their own but bad when combined? And bad things that are good when combined?

I just learned about "Salt (NaCl) is actually a combination of a highly poisonous gas (Cl) and a hazardous metal (Na)".

I'm sure there are lots of examples in life that this rule also applies to.

I'm in the minority with this. But I like bananas on their own. And I like milk on its own. But I don't like banana milk.

There are two groups of people, people who hate drinking milk and creeps

Edit: I'll accept babies as a third but they are creeps too ngl, I just cant say that without being judged

Banana milk is odd, both loved and hated it as a kid, and nowadays something about it makes me feel really ill (even when accounting for lactose intolerance), yet I love the banana from banana and prawn sweets.

In a similar vein hotdogs make me feel like death, like doubled over from stomach cramps

Can we stop at “banana and prawn sweets”?

They're a classic English pick'n'mix sweet, with a texture that basically like somewhere in-between a candy cigarette that's been inflated/puffed up and what I imagine the circus peanuts candies (which we don't have in the UK) would be like, flavored with artificial banana flavour and I think the prawns are supposed to be strawberry (but I honestly don't know).

They're somewhere in-between gross and great, depending on if you like sweet things or not.

Never heard of this banana milk, but it sounds gross to me.

The weirdos in my family like spearmint milk. It skipped a generation with me. I think it is our state drink. Toothpaste and milk ....

I've never heard of banana milk but as a kid I discovered that I loved to chop up a banana and eat it from a glass of milk. Is that it? Also, banana smoothies are tasty. Chocolate banana spoothies are tastier. But banana and strawberries and chcoloate smoothies are gross.

Try freezing peeled ripe bananas. Then puree them in a blender with some chocolate and peanut butter. Refreeze and you get a chocolate peanut butter banana "ice cream."
