I just learned about “Salt (NaCl) is actually a combination of a highly poisonous gas (Cl) and a hazardous metal (Na)”.

I’m sure there are lots of examples in life that this rule also applies to.

    Banana milk is odd, both loved and hated it as a kid, and nowadays something about it makes me feel really ill (even when accounting for lactose intolerance), yet I love the banana from banana and prawn sweets.

    In a similar vein hotdogs make me feel like death, like doubled over from stomach cramps

        They’re a classic English pick’n’mix sweet, with a texture that basically like somewhere in-between a candy cigarette that’s been inflated/puffed up and what I imagine the circus peanuts candies (which we don’t have in the UK) would be like, flavored with artificial banana flavour and I think the prawns are supposed to be strawberry (but I honestly don’t know).

        They’re somewhere in-between gross and great, depending on if you like sweet things or not.
