Water–dimethyl sulfoxide interactions have been dissected using IR spectroscopy. In their Communication on page 11375 ff., C. R. Baiz et al. show that hydrogen bond populations in binary mixtures can be directly quantified and molecular ensembles can be correlated to macroscopic solution properties. The fish represent DMSO molecules jumping out of the water in groups to portray the strong DMSO–DMSO self‐interaction.
