  Been there done that. In ancient China, there was a psychoactive drug made out of five kinds of minerals.

    A good start but Na and Cl are both individually as you really shouldn’t, put them together and you have tasty rocks.

    If we’re talking about licking it in it’s solid state, I don’t think solid hydrogen or helium would be in a lickable state.

    ESPECIALLY solid helium, which needs to be at a temperature LESS than 3 Kelvin AND at 26 times atmospheric pressure. Not “OR”, AND

    Must be a reason something’s yellow and not red, so should be fine

    Pure mercury is pretty safe, actually.

      To lick?

      Also I’ve heard that lead is sweet, but will never lick the solder even though thinking about it is making me really wonder.

  MSG seems to be the even better rock

  Baking soda, baking powder, and cream of tartar are minerals used for baking. Not very tasty on their own though.

  While it may or may not meet your contextual definition of ‘rock’,… lead tastes somewhat sweet, apparently.

  The Romans boiled grape juice in lead pots to produce a kind of syrup that was used to sweeten wine.

  Lead is uh, a neurotoxin and likely carcinogen, so probably don’t lick the sweet rocks too much.

  According to:

  galleries.com/minerals/property/taste.htm

  … apparently borax tastes sweet and… alkaline?

  Chalcantite is described as ‘sweet metalic and slightly poisonous.’

  Melanterite is apparently ‘sweet, astringent and metallic.’

    Alkaline is usually soapy in taste btw

    Lead doesn’t taste sweet, but lead(II) acetate does: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead(II)_acetate.

  Lead tastes quite sweet from what I hear

  • Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Only lead acetate. Which makes me wonder about acetate of other have metals. Is uranium acetate even better?

  The other first-column chloride salts are mostly edible at some level. Potassium chloride is used in some low-sodium foods, I think. I saw a couple Aussies on YouTube once going down the column and putting them all on fries. Not sure if I’d be able to find it again though, it was pretty old

      +1 for Explosions & Fire and Extractions & Ire. This guy puts out videos where he’s synthesizing various explosives or just extracting weird compounds from things, all laced with a blend of Aussie humor and shitposting. Highly recommend

  Just stick with rock candy and salt. Minerals like cinnabar and orpiment have a short enjoyment period.

  There were arsenic in Styria

  From the English Wikipedia:

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenic_trioxide?wprov=sfla…

  In Austria, there lived the so-called “arsenic eaters of Styria”, who ingested doses far beyond the lethal dose of arsenic trioxide without any apparent harm. Arsenic is thought to enable strenuous work at high altitudes, e.g. in the Alps."

  (The German Wikipedia has a whole article on this: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenikesser?wprov=sfla1)

      Well atleast you probably won‘t get Alzheimer‘s if you eat lithium every day. But that might be attributed to the life-ending attributes of lithium poisoning
