I can smell ants. I've eaten one before. They taste like iron. Like blood mixed with pepper. Idk why I told you that just now.

Not something I ever wondered, but it's a pretty neat anecdote.

There's no putting the ink back on the bottle.

Different ants taste different!

I've had ants that taste like fizzy lime...

The one I ate was one of those big black ones. Not the huge ones that wander around by themselves, but the normal colony black ants that are large enough to easily pick up.

They taste awful. Like licking a battery.

That's a great explanation! Yes, that's what they taste like.
