If you had one chance to eat or drink something poisonous without dying or experiencing any health repercussions, what would you try?
For me, maybe petrol.
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?
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’m curious how it feels to drink something that heavy
I imagine afterwards you'd just sit and reflect.
Seems like it would sit pretty heavy, though...
Nah, it goes down real smooth.

Sitting down with a good movie and a bowl of tide pods.
You might be happy to know, my mouth literally dropped open when I read your comment 😂
Dropped open to eat another tide pod
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?
I want to lick The Elephant's Foot.
This is an interesting one!
8 kilos of molten gold.
Nobody said you wouldn't have to pay for it ; ).
I would see what the big deal with heroine is
Heroin*
Heroine is the feminine form of hero
He said what he said!
If you don't experience any of the reprocussions, would it even do anything?
You would probably get high but have the incredibly painful withdrawal symptoms.
Granted, the euphoria alone would probably incentivize you to try it again anyway, so I still wouldn't
Fugu. I’m far too much of a coward to try it normally.
One of those poisonous dart frogs
Red paint. No. Blue paint. Which ever one smells better.
I heard some poisonous mushrooms are very tasty...
I mean you don't need invulnerability to find out, you just gotta choose wisely, since you only get one shot.
Plutonium
Specifically weapons-grade plutonium, enough to make a nuclear bomb. I get to keep it afterwards, right?
The fly agaric mushroom. I wanna see if it makes me taller.
You can eat those if you prepare them correctly. Prepare for a cozy experience if you dose it right. shroomery
Totally. Seem them everywhere, and they're so cute. Would be great to just munch them, buttered on toast...
Lead. It used to be used for flavor.
I bet hemlock is delicious.
Sodium! Looks so soft and fun, melts in your mouth!
My worst enemy. I get a full stomach and less of a nuisance to worry about.
New bars of soap always looked tasty to me.
A bar of soap probably.
a shitload of absinthe
I’ve always hoped a shot of petrol “could” be delicious. Spicy, dry and with deep earthy undertones…
Anthrax
Whatever psychedelic supposedly broadens your mind or whatever
Whatever the most poisonous mushroom is
Probably amanita phalloides or amanita virosa
A cold glass of milk.
Where my lactards at?!?!
Sugar
Joke's on you. I've been slowly building up an immunity to iocaine powder for years.
Clearly, you have a dizzying intellect.
So I obviously cannot choose the wine in front of me.
