But Lead tastes so good!

I wonder what metallic Sodium tastes like...

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It tastes like hot hydrogen gas (that will quickly mix with oxygen and taste like superheated steam).

If that doesn’t get ya, it would taste like sodium hydroxide, and also soap. (The soap is from the hydroxide turning the fats in your cells into soap.)
