I have to admit that I absolutely love how licking sodium or chloride individually is very bad for you, but when you put them together, you can lick, eat, and even swim in it all day with minimal ill health effects.
Science. 💙
Sodium reacts violently in water
Chlorine was used in mustard gas

Being colorblind sucks
It just means you can lick them all
Superpowers!
Don’t let a stupid chart tell you what you can and can’t lick.
* Under standard conditions for temperature and pressure
Yeah, if it’s possible to have a normal licking experience with something that’s gaseous at room temperature, it’s not going to go well if you do lick it.
OH BOI, HERE I GO LICKING RADIOACTIVE CARBON ISOTOPES AGAIN!
Some of those in the actinoid [sic] series are gonna be really difficult to lick simply because of how unbelievably short their half-life is, or those such as mendelevium, that require you to either have access to (and in other cases even have your head inside of) a linear particle collider.
Go ahead and lick pure oxygen. Nothing wrong with that, sure.
You know O2 is pure oxygen right? Unless we’re getting into the technicality of if things in there gaseous forms can be licked it’s safe.
i think gasses can be licked, for example - if i put menthol shards into hot cup of water, i can definitely feel it on my tongue if i lick the air above the cup. therefore, lickable
Get a bottle of pure oxygen and open it over a tongue-simulator¹ to see what happens.
People usually use a hot-dog. But with oxygen, even a piece of wood is close enough.
You need something else along with the oxygen to cause combustion.

The mercury and Gemini space programs had cabins consisting of pure oxygen. And those astronauts were fine.
Apollo 1 says hi.
Why isn’t one of those responses
“Yes, you can!” ?
Licking Lead is only “not a great idea?” I think it’s squarely in the “Please don’t do that” territory.
You can absolutely lick lead once without any noticeable consequences. You need to be living in constant interaction with lead to get poisoning.
The best part is that if you do it enough you will forget what the problem is and an continue to lick lead.
Would you rather lick Uranium?
Damn, so close, put “us” in there and I’d be licking Uranus.
Flourine should be the darkest purple. Injesting or inhaling any amount is serious bad news.
PlumBum is my favorite flavor.
Yes you can! …well I’m gone!
Radon should be yellow. You don’t want long term exposure of it in your lungs, but it’s still mostly chemically inert and not a significant immediate danger.
I think I would rather lick Technetium than Lithium
Are you sure this isnt just a seasonal calendar of my wife?
