I wanna taste that blue Cherenkov tang

Evidently plutonium just tastes metallic. And radium is flavorless.

What I'm saying is people have tasted these things.

I think it was when we got to toxic metals and radioactive elements that chemists where forced to stop tasting their discoveries.

I hope it went: Safety person: Hey! Stop tasting any elements or new molecules. It's been getting people severely sick or killed!

Chemist: "Ugh, fine, but ima bitch about it the whole time"
