A glass of mercury, it looks like it tastes delicious.

Sooo elemental mercury. Not absorbed well in the GI tract. I had a patient who took time cracking open thermometers from boilers for a while and then attempted to drink it mixed with some coffee to commit suicide. We show up since he called 911 and now wanted to go to the hospital. Call poison control for recommendations for local hospitals since this isn’t common and i don’t know what hospitals can handle this thing. Poison control cites that it isn’t well absorbed, if at all, in the GI tract. I was pretty surprised.

So really you could drink it and find out the taste with very small if any repercussions.

Ya know, just saying.

Didn’t uh… something like Lewis and Clarke…

Didn’t they use mercury based laxatives, and that was used to track their path?

Should have used an everlasting pill if they didn’t want to be tracked by their poop.

Yeah elemental mercury ain’t that bad. It’s all those organic compounds of mercury that are the baddies.

And… you know, shiny poops that hit the bottom of the bowl with a THUNK , that would be something different. You’d literally lose a few pounds every time you went to the toilet.

I mean… alcohol? You can already buy it easily prepared in all sorts of delicious ways.

Am I not in the spirit of the thing?

The effects is what makes it delicious, no effects means no upside to drinking the poison

Yep, alcohol is definitely delicious. Getting drunk is fun too sometimes sure… but often I quite decide not to have another beer because despite wanting more of the flavor, I don’t want more of the effects.

How about uranium? It’s called radiation poisoning

Also do I have to procure it first?

1 gram of uranium has about 20 billion calories so while you might not die, you’re gonna get fat super fast.
