I’ve been told that uranium tastes just like lemon drops.

PlumBum is my favorite flavor.
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.
Transuranic heavy elements may not be used where there is life.
This diagram is way way way too conservative with the "see you on the other side" classification. To name a few: fluorine will literally make you catch fire instantly (if there's more of it, you will basically get burned to a crisp before you can even blink), caesium will violently react with water in your mouth and produce so much hydrogen and heat, the whole mixture will instantly explode (in fact, this will not only be a usual, fire-like explosion, it will in addition to that be a so-called Coulomb explosion, which makes the situation even worse)
I wish to subscribe to more fun chemistry reaction facts!
OH BOI, HERE I GO LICKING RADIOACTIVE CARBON ISOTOPES AGAIN!
I'm slightly infuriated that green doesn't say: yes, you can!
Can we edit it?!
Sure, go for it.
So what I get from this: You can probably just lick it. Odds are in your favor
When in doubt, lick it.
When a problem comes along, you must lick it
Before the cream sets out too long, you must lick it
When something's going wrong, you must lick it
I follow the same rule with my wife.
Flourine should be the darkest purple. Injesting or inhaling any amount is serious bad news.
Are you sure this isnt just a seasonal calendar of my wife?
