Did you ever lick a battery to test if it's still 'live' ?

At some point in my life, sure, I've licked a battery. It's kinda fizzy, which has lead to my joke of "sherbet generator!" or "sherbet nibbles!" when people talk about capacitors.

I'm not affiliated with this company, but I couldn't help but notice this:

You can apparently sign up for a sample, they're based in the Netherlands.

Has anyone tried them? I'm expecting a flavour similar to 'Doritos cool' flavour, maybe with a touch of malic acid.

Or are you aware of another electrifying snack?

    Just a theory, but I reckon this is what spawned the invention of sour confectionery... en.wikipedia.org/.../Sour_Patch_Kids

    I did the tongue test just yesterday - but now I am self-conscious about it. Laughing
