Ethylene is a plant hormone that helps ripen fruits, but if there is too much of it present in the air, it can cause fruit to go off.
It is non-toxic in normal environments and has a sweet odour.
Its modern name is "ethene" (not "ethane").
It is also used in the synthesis of antifreeze.
Professionals convert the ethylene into ethylene oxide, then they further convert the ethylene oxide into ethylene glycol.

Guy 1: Why do my bananas ripen much faster when they are together in a bunch, but not as quick when they're separate?
Guy 2: Oh that's due to natural ethylene gas production. Ethylene is a non-toxic plant hormone that helps bananas to ripen, and it has a sweet smell.
Guy 1: Oh wow.

Get the Ethylene mug.Glycerin, also known as glycerol (IUPAC name: propane-1,2,3-triol) is a non-toxic sugar alcohol used as an antifreeze in slushies or other frozen drinks.
It is a viscous alcohol with a viscosity somewhere between maple syrup and golden syrup.
It used to be used in car antifreeze before ethylene glycol was discovered, but was phased out because ethylene glycol had far superior antifreeze, antiboil, and heat-transfer properties compared to glycerin.
While glycerin is non-toxic to adolescents and adults, it can be toxic to young children due to their bodies inability to deal with the substance, potentially resulting in hypoglycemia.

It has a sweetish taste and flavour, and is safe to consume in smaller amounts.
It is a common ingredient in food & drinks, cosmetics, hand soaps, liquid medicines, and more.
It has a cousin called propanediol, which is also known as propane-1,3-diol, and it is more naturally abundant than propane-1,2-diol.
Both propylene glycol and propanediol are technically edible, unlike the glycols called ethylene/diethylene glycol.
