Line 215:
* [[Real Life]] famously mixes good and bad, and would any of us trade it? One might even go so far as to say it's ''[[Incredibly Lame Pun|the bomb]]''.
* Mixed states in bipolar disorder.
** Bipolar disorder ''itself'' is this, regardless of whether "mixed" states occur. People affected by the "classic" Bipolar I have a high suicide rate, and when they attempt suicide it's often at the end of a manic episode just when the first signs of depression start to appear: While their mood starts spiralling downwards, they still have enough energy to try and kill themselves, which will no longer be the case once they are in full-blown depression. Similar for mixed mood states, which can be very dangerous and unpredictable because patients may be in a bad temper while having a lot of energy (cue [[Unstoppable Rage]]), or may switch rapidly between high and low energy and mood states.
* In chemistry, mixing substances with completely opposite properties (e.g. a strong oxidizer and a strong reducer, a strong acid and a strong base) is usually the best way to get [[Stuff Blowing Up|violent, unpredictable]] reactions.
