The latest text from TheAsh left me with a desire of reading a crazy theory about SB, and I just thought of one. The hypothesis is that within the SB you have: (get ready):
Uranium.
Now let's look at the reasons. The deadly fungus MM can be used as a weapon of mass destruction. But not any kind of weapon of mass destruction. It is a biological weapon. Kit hinted that if Olaf got his hands on SB, we would be in a scenario almost as bad as if Olaf got his hands on SB. So, I deduce that just something that can be used as a weapon of mass destruction could be almost as bad as MM.
(Note.: Like MM, uranium can also be used for good, to produce electricity.)
In addition, Esmé stated that the content of the SB was found on a kind of mission, where many volunteers died. Uranium is a radioactive element, so it makes sense that volunteers have died from not using adequate protection.
In addition, speaking of electrical energy, it is possible that uranium was used to create the nuclear reactor that served as propulsion for submarine Q. And so it was Kit who built the submarine. After all, according to Esmé, the Snickets had a special relationship with SB.
In addition, when refined using lime, uranium is white and could easily be mistaken for sugar. Esmé stated that it was necessary to find a beautiful and safe container for the contents of the SB. Why "safe"? Because it would be necessary to contain radiation. That's why SB ended up in GG. Dewey and Kit threw objects from the headquarters window so that those objects would land in a safe place in the ocean. But SB ended up in a very different and unknown (and not at all safe) place. This probably happened because SB was made of lead, a material that has a very high specific gravity. (Lead is capable of containing radiation.) Thus, the SB behaved differently from all other objects thrown out the window, because it was made of lead. And the SB was made of lead to contain the uranium radiation inside it.
There is one more interesting detail. Uranium generates energy through nuclear fission. What is Nuclear fission if not a small schism with the power to wreak havoc? The Schism that happens inside the nucleus represents very well the VFD Schism that ended up generating great Unfortunate Events. Daniel Handler probably came up with this idea when looking up synonyms for the word "schism" in a dictionary.
But the evidence doesn't stop there. During the VFD construction committee meeting, Olaf removed an item from a box, and everyone was alarmed about it. At first I thought that item could be MM, but it doesn't make sense for MM to be kept in a box. It makes more sense that a uranium stone research had been stored inside a lead box. So soon someone asked Olaf to put the uranium back in the box, to avoid the effects of radiation. At that time, Esme had not yet found a beautiful container for uranium, but she soon resolved that. She used the SB itself, which was probably made of lead. It is true that at the meeting someone mentions something about the secret of the SB, but this only indicates that many volunteers had a SB that served some other purpose. Esmé simply used the SB that belonged to her to store the uranium that the team of volunteers had acquired on the mission where many of them died.
