The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Willy Wonka predicted this. Just spit it out before it gets to the blueberry pie.

I've already gone over the fact that they are, in fact, gross, and you won't want to try more than one. But the thing is, if you buy a container, you can bring it to your friends and family and say, "Hey, want to try a salty drop that's supposed to taste like chicken noodle soup? They're gross."

Or, take them into the doctor/dentist/bank office and mix them into the bowl of hard candies.

That’s so evil, lol, I love it

If I did that, my dentist would definitely know it was me., Lol

So my take from this is that this could be a neat alternative to bullion and a funny gag gift. That's honestly not nearly as awful as I expected.

I've gotten salty candy at Asian markets, I'm sure of this has been done better elsewhere.
