No, what you should do is drink vinegar! I did that once. It was interesting . . .


I drank phosphoric acid :redface:
This the point where I say you people are weird.

Die, die we all pass away
But don't wear a frown cuz it's really okay
And you might try 'n' hide
And you might try 'n' pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah

Depends on its concentration :wink:

And also you dont have it in your mouth/throat.....unless you're being sick I spose....

I didn't do it on purpose, someone told me it was 'cabbage juice'

I did actually laugh out loud there! :biggrin:

I once put a whole satsuma in my mouth because I wanted to see if I could. Unfortunately nobody paid me. :frown: And then my friend refused to have her satsuma back. Oh, the good old days . . . :love:


Haha! You should have been paid for that! I dont blame your friend though lol. Me and my friends used to have creme egg eating contests - we had to put the whole thing in our mouths at once and see who could eat it the fastest. I never won. :frown: I think the soil guy also ate a pillar of salt at his friend's request :biggrin:

Apparently vinegar burns cholesterol?! Well I say apparently. Some randommer told me that in High School. He also ate lemons and drank vinegar on a daily basis.
Standards are slipping. My brother's friend was paid £2 to eat a clod of soil. Funnily enough I dont think they do an emoticon for that either :biggrin:


I have a somewhat related story about Duke Flipside: we were out one night and I was utterly lashed and bought chips (only Mr Chips chips will do :biggrin:) however then proceeded to drop them on the pavement (a Glasgow pavement, mind). I said I'd pay him a fiver if he ate one, and he picked one up to do it, but then threw it away as it had a potato eye on it. Which is apparently much worse than essentially licking a Glasweigan street. :rolleyes:
The pillar of salt thing is just wrong!

I also once put a whole Wagon Wheel in my mouth. I was trying to attract my friends' attention to prove the Wagon Wheel would fit in my mouth (they told me it was impossible) and they thought I was choking. :biggrin:

And no I wouldn't eat something off the pavement. Maybe if it was indoors though.
I love wagon wheels! Esp the jammy ones... wait, I think we had this convo a couple of pages ago. At least I mentioned wagon wheels. I'm not obsessed, I swear! :ninja:

1M...

Been such a long time since last time I was in a Chemistry lab. Those were the happy days... It's a bit ****e when you have to wear goggles and gloves and use the fume cupboard when you need to use anything that's slightly more than Corrosive. Pippet is fun though. Watching those who are less capable trying to get the liquid hit the mark was always fun... oops, shouldn't have said that.
Need to read more slowly - 'pillar of salt' not 'caterpillar'. :redface:

Eating off the floor - nobody heard of the 5 second rule?! Maybe that's a Lancaster thing... :confused:

Sorry, why is that an incentive to drink it? YEURGH!

Ahh I dont like Wagon Wheels!! Theyre one of the few cakey things I wont eat hehe. I do follow the 10 second rule... apart from if things are dropped outside. Then I would never eat it. I'm also guessing that at street in Glasgow is on par with a mancunian one :biggrin:

:rofl:
I believe Mythbusters did one of these food dropped on floor rules in one of their shows. They also did some other stuff which involves shooting dead pigs with an ultrasonic gun, tying two and half dozens of model rocket engines to a Ming dynasty "throne" chair, jumping off a 3-storey building with a piece of plywood in hand... etc. Not great for real mythbusting, but great for entertainment.

What Myth did that bust? :p:

Those shooting scenes in films you see where people get "blown away". Yeah, the pig was blown away. it moved like 2mm.
Don't they use ultrasonic guns on pirates in the South China seas when they attack cruise liners etc? 'Sonic boom'. Totally killed their ears and they ran away. Think that actually happened last year? :confused:
Have you heard of Braniac? They had something called brown noise! :biggrin:
