Thread: Huge Alum block

What is it with this crowd? If it ain't lick the barber hone it's lick the alum block. Yuckkkkkkkk and it ain't gonna happen.

I must confess, the FIRST thing I did when I got an alum block out of it's box was lick it. I had to. I grew up with the classic Looney Tunes cartoons, the good ones, pre 60s. I had seen it used on Sylvester the cat, puckered him up and he had to try to eat Tweety through a straw. It's not quite that dramatic. Have a great weekend, Don V

Guess what? Alum is edible. What Is Alum in Cooking - Ask.com

I can think of any number of substances which can be safely ingested which I wouldn't put in my mouth.

I've pretty much gone with the theory that, pert near everything is edible, it's just that some things taste like crap, and some things can kill you. I've seen the survival shows, yeah, don't wanna go there.
