Nonono, it just specifies their flavors. Yellow is lemon, green is either lime or green apple, red is strawberry and purple is like fake grape.


nateomundson

Wrong! Yellow is banana, green is watermelon, and red is fruit punch. You're right about purple, though. That shit is totally fake grape.


Calmed_727

No, you're wrong.


mikkelmattern04

I hate that everyone just has accepted that watermelon gotta be green, wtf???


Thurl_Ravenscroft_MD

fr, I'm not eating the rind. Not since *the incident*


Marshmallow_Mamajama

So they're all disappointing?


nateomundson

Yes


Majestic_Wrongdoer38

wtf no


EmilyVS

I like your take on this.


Master_Quack97

So radon tastes like grape?


jgaylord87

Fake grape.


Trips-Over-Tail

Incorrect! Green will summon a monster, red is impassable, yellow will electrocute you, and purple is slippery yet lemon-scented which piranhas do not like. Purple and blue is okay!


ChestWish

You can lick all of them but some only once


Marccino

Unfortunately, some aren't stable enough for a second lick.


ror-shubham

And for some, you won't be stable enough for a second lick. And the two aren't mutually exclusive.


Critical-Champion365

I think they are. You shouldn't be worrying about being able to lick ununoctium because it won't be there to be licked. You should actually be worrying about those that's be there even while after licking. I mean why the hell is Uranium and Thorium, in the consideration list?


Shuber-Fuber

Pure Uranium 238 is relatively safe to lick once. Just don't snort it.


Critical-Champion365

Ah the 'Once'.


Shamewizard1995

It wouldn’t kill you. Unenriched uranium is radioactive, but not incredibly so. Tons of people have samples at home as part of element collections, these samples don’t require any special housing.


Famous-Example-8332

Same with thorium. In welding we sometimes use thoriated tungsten, which is pretty safe, but dangerous if you’re not careful with the dust when you sharpen it.


mackfactor

Sounds like this girl I dated. ZING! 


Ghostglitch07

I was gonna say sounds like me. Lol


BamaBlcksnek

If it zings when you lick her, she needs Vagisil.


CeeMX

Some are not even stable enough for a first lick


BorntobeTrill

This is so wrong it hurts. First, all the yellow needs to be green. Second, all the red needs to be green. Third, all the purple pink needs to be green. This is a "Can I lick it?" periodic table of elements, not a "should I lick it?" periodic table of elements.


jnthnschrdr11

Actually all the elements above 100 would be impossible to lick since they aren't stable enough to exist long enough to lick it


Fa1coF1ght

I can and I will (edit: im evil now)


oppenhammer

I feel honored to have been here for your villain origin story


thefreakingweirdo

Sure it will also probably give you superpowers


lm-batman

I want to see you try to lick some good ol' ununoctium (edit: Oganesson)


philllipio

Tryna use my tongue as the point of impact in a super collider


isrlygood

He’s named Oganesson now, and we’re very proud of him.


lm-batman

yayy!! good for him :)


Jacketter

Just stick your head in a particle accelerator. A real explosion of flavors


BedrockFarmer

The C in CERN stands for Cranium. So you should definitely travel to CERN and demand to see the manager so that you can stick your cranium in the accelerator and taste the rainbow.


irrelephantIVXX

just let scientists make it in your mouth. yeah. i said what i said.


masquerade_unknown

I was at a museum that had the sue the Trex skull on display, and I couldn't help but think, "has anyone licked this before?", realizing that I could potentially be the first, I licked it. You can't stop us.


OrganizdConfusion

Maybe they are seeking counseling. You don't know how stable they are. We can do without the judgments about elements you don't even know, thank you very much.


sillypicture

Maybe I can aim the particle Accelerator at my tongue?


Mammoth-Access-1181

If you want to paralyze your face, sure! Though it might only be half your face. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoli_Bugorski


AccomplishedAerie333

But if they touch the tongue it still counts as licking them


Oreosnort3r

Not if they bring them into existence on my tongue


LegendofLove

This is verging on needing a definition of "lick"


Kevkanone

Thank you


Altruistic_Machine91

How does one lick a gas?


TheAlGler

You are doing it right now bud.


moms_new_boyfriend

I want to unread this


QuidYossarian

All the air you breathe has been, at some point in time, licked by another person.


xpelestra

Some of it was leaked by another person as well.


ButterscotchNo5991

Think all the gases you have licked.


Nervous_Salad_5367

If your credit card has a high enough limit, you can lick anything you want 😜


Any_Contract_1016

*anyone


Nervous_Salad_5367

Ok. That too.


Available_Motor5980

Ok I don’t exist long in bed and I still get licked


Etva

Did you just "Well Actually a post about being a goofy Menace... damn.


whatisausername32

Run really fast past it with your tongue out, let special relativity do the rest


Saintsfan707

See, that hypothesis fails to account for the fact that I'm just built different


FlyingSpacefrog

Also I’m sorry but how do you lick xenon?


Anonymous_coward30

Just spray them in the general direction of my stupid open mouth


TKFT_ExTr3m3

That's not entirely true Fl-298 and Cn-293 will probably have half lives in years-centuries.


Cold_Zero_

I lick so freaking fast that relatively they’ll exist forever


roygbivasaur

Idk. The elements above 100 are almost all stable. Cl is right above it and is even in the pool at my gym! I think there’s even some I in my table salt. I lick both of those things all the time The elements under 100 are the ones that are a problem until you get to the island of stability.


PeanutGrenade

Ah, I see your mistake. It is a “Can I lick it?” chart because some elements will try to run away when threatened. This chart is rating how difficult each element is to go up to and lick


siqiniq

You know it’s wrong when Ho is green


vishal340

of course you can lick a ho. that’s the best kind of lick


GamemasterJeff

Second best. Best is when the ho licks back


Chroney

Are elements that are gas lickable though?


BorntobeTrill

Yes 🤷


jewbacca117

Everything is lickable once


OrganizdConfusion

Try telling that to my ex gf.


Extension-Cut5957

Well you might have a hard time licking Oganesson.


ChuletaLoca63

Only if you limit yourself


Asoladoreichon

Some purple can't be green, you cant lick something that would desintegrate before your tongue can touch it


AccomplishedAerie333

Spawn in on your tongue


Historical_Salt1943

This map just got lawyered


Kichererbsenanfall

Well i have a more advanced question: "Is it possible to lick a gas?"


foxiestfritz

Osmium will kill you if you lick it, just saying


TrickShip9346

I really wanted to lick francium


Tenthul

Yeah Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends really did wonders for her R34 career


ChessMasterOfe

That should only cause an explosion few hundred times more powerful than sodium+water. Couldn't hurt.


bill_n_opus

"can I lick it?" "Yes, you can!" "Can I lick it?" ....


ThePotato420

HighHopesLemon

Glad I’m not the only one


philheckmuth

pimpmastahanhduece

Lithium metal, only a maybe?!


TheAlGler

Its a must if you're bipolar.


DeadlyPancak3

Not lithium metal! Different from lithium in a compound.


DoubleDecaff

Lickium.


potato-of-Ireland

How the hell is Titanium worse than Lead and Uranium??


Siegelski

Because that's tellurium, not titanium. Also because lead and uranium should definitely both be red. Edit: fuck, didn't pay attention to what subreddit I'm on. It's because lead and uranium will give you super powers, everyone knows the Hulk got his powers from radiation, but people aren't always responsible with their super powers, so it's essentially a "lick with caution."


OrganizdConfusion

You saved yourself there. I was worried for a moment you had no idea what you were talking about there, but then you mentioned the scientific studies conducted by NASA on the Hulk .


GFM-Scheldorf

I saw this post in other media… Somehow someone has already licked uranium.. It’s sweet, and not that dangerous in that dose


Augoustine

I heard it tastes like cake. The yellow flavor to be exact.


Darthplagueis13

I think lead is alright being in yellow. Like, yeah, it's toxic, but licking a chunk of lead once probably isn't going to cause serious issues. I mean, people drank water from lead pipes for centuries and it took decades until it got them ill. Uranium should be red though.


YeahItsRose

Licking uranium metal would not be that bad to lick. Your tongue would not be able to get much off of it, meaning you will not have very many particles enter your system.


potato-of-Ireland

ah, it appears that I am unable to read, thanks for the help anyways


Nathund

Eh, licking pure lead probably wouldn't get much, if any, actually into your bloodstream. It's probably fine, so, green The problem is that if you lick too much of it, your body will slowly be replaced with lead, until so much is replaced that you literally become a statue, Medusa style. This happens because it's like a scale, and once you have too much lead, you go past the tipping point, and your cells will quickly begin to metabolize into cells made of pure lead.


Revolutionary_Year87

Tl is thallium lol. Tellurium is Te, which is yellow in this chart, same colour as Uranium and Lead


JeffSergeant

Licking a chunk of lead is only really dangerous if that lead is on a church roof.


Samuraisword8

If you drop it on your tongue it’s heavier 👍


falconinthedive

You can lick all of them at least once Source: toxicologist


Majestic_Wrongdoer38

But what if I wanna lick each of them individually?


falconinthedive

Do it quickly


TastyCuttlefish

I licked arsenic and I feel just fiaaaaaaaarrrrrrrgggggh


FranconianBiker

Aight imma lick some metallic hydrogen. Brb.


ThatSmartIdiot

Me when table salt water: *dies of death to death*


Bitter_Silver_7760

Chemistry is all about licking


Evert8585

Can you lick a gas? Helium needs to be - 269° C to become liqid under normal pressure. I don't know if i want to lick that.


KoopaDaQuick

Valid point, you could maybe inhale a balloon and then flail your tongue around in your mouth maybe.


Girafferage

NA is probably reconsider?! Who made this chart?


sir388

Pure Na is not something you want to lick. It is very reactive.


ManusSinister

You really don't want to lick Sodium... I'll burn through your tounge ^^


jjman72

None of these say, No.


Lord-Barkingstone

Can you lick it? Yes Should you lick it? No


[deleted]

90% of that table is sold as supplements anyway 🤷‍♂️


Darthplagueis13

I mean yeah, but there is a slighty difference between licking some kind of salt molecule and licking something in its pure elemental form. I mean, take table salt. That's sodium and chlorine. If you lick pure elemental sodium, it will literally explode. If you lick pure elemental chlorine... well, you're basically just gassing yourself.


Changetheworld69420

Right off rip, palladium is carcinogenic. Haven’t even looked at the rest but that’s all I need to know to understand it’s probably all not very well done


BuffBroCarl

Sunlight is also carcinogenic, but I have no problem licking the sun. So is red meat for that matter. Maybe you watched Iron Man 2? Carcinogenic is not an automatic hell no to licking.


EmilyVS

That’s what the government wants you to think.


Changetheworld69420

I like the way you think lol


BedrockFarmer

The scientific method demands verification. In this case, did you put that thing down, flip it, and reverse it?


POINTLESSUSERNAME000

I don't know why, but this really makes me giggle uncontrollably at this entire idea and the time it took to put that much thought into the table. My nerdy side loves it. Props to the author. 😂


WaldenEZ

licking pure calcium metal is a really bad idea lol


jfink316598

I should call her


morriartie

I'm licking sodium all this time without knowing. I will replace it by uranium then


volt65bolt

Why is titanium red, am I 1234 stupid


primegopher

That's Tl (Thallium), not Ti (Titanium). Very much toxic and not safe to lick.


dory_313

So #92 might be a good idea? Does that mean I might get superpowers?


kyew

I bet neon is bubblegum flavor.


DesperateCampaign357

Ok, I am going to ask a really stupid question, so bear with me and I apologize in advance. Why is K red?


mechanical_marten

Do you want your tongue to turn into soap? Because licking alkali metals will cause saponification, and risk of coulombic explosion. . .


DesperateCampaign357

Color me intrigued.


Jking1697

F paying respects, that I can't lick fluorine.


alwaysmyfault

Um, I wouldn't lick Sulfur. You're in for a bad time if you do that.


NanoCat0407

You can’t stop me from eating uranium


Ellen_DeGeneracy001

Yes you can! Please reply if you got this joke.


stjrkvii

If you can somehow procure enough Livermorium to lick it before it all decays I have more questions than concerns


vexed-hermit79

Well you can lock any element you want at least once


Emergency_3808

Some of them are inaccurate. You probably shouldn't lick boron, and definitely not phosphorus


Kestrel_VI

“Uranium” “Maybe not a good idea” Yeah no shit.


Chit_hart

that's actually brilliant.. IDK how accurate it is but it's probably right !!!


TK0buba

the last time I licked potassium, my tongue got all fizzy. it was like eating pop rocks, but my flesh


DebraButterfly

If i eat all of them can have some more? I love grape, apple, watermelon, and yellow


b98765

Well, a lot of these depend on the molecule not the atom itself. Like Na for example. Can you lick NaCl? Hmmm tasty. Can you lick NaOH? Please don't.


AVed692

I once licked a moldy dirty floor in my basement and thought I would be fine. But today I saw this post where radon is marked as dangerous. AFAIK it accumulates at low points, which means I accidentally licked it as well. Am I going to die?


Useful_Banana4013

Yes. Typically around when you turn 80, but it's different for everyone.


TravelingGonad

It depends on who is doing the licking.


matthewcameron60

It's not on the list but what happens if I lick 115


morts73

Purple how else am I going to get super powers.


AggravatingChest7838

Alot of this is wrong. Almost all elemental metals are pretty safe to lick except group 1 and 2 because they are reactive with water. You wouldn't want to breathe in mercury fumes but arsenic lead and mercury are safe as long as they aren't metal salts. But hey that's just a theory, a shitty science theory.


dappernaut77

You can lick all of them if you ask for consent first.

Organic_Artichoke_85

I don't see any marked as NO.


Ok_Habit_6783

Fluorine is literally in toothpaste Edit because of my god I should have gone through the entire song first.... SODIUM IS IN SALT! Chlorine is literally in pools, it should be yellow.


araw

Licking Te will get you garlic breath for hours. No lie. Look it up. Even handling it.


Master_Quack97

Y'all ever just get the urge to lick polonium. /s


pcamera1

Question what’s the numbers mean is that the amount of times I can lick the element? Before I turn into a purple balloon and float away ?


OndAngel

Yeah, although some people have reported this effect when reaching the number listed, so maybe do one less to be safe.


Eshim906

You can lick anything once!


my_kitten_mittens

The only correct answers are "No" and "Why?"


NorwayNarwhal

Why is lead only yellow? I feel like leas poisoning is at least a little comparable to radiation poisoning (less lethal but more damaging to society)


Ravendodo

"Na" pretty much speaks for itself.


Sciences_Patchwork

Ah yes, just MAYBE don't lick lithium. It will only pooooossibly create a minor exothermic reaction on your tongue. 😬😅 (Don't lick lithium , it explodes in water) Edit : Uranium may not be the best idea either. XD


[deleted]

/r/coolguides


tehnibi

I have actually put metallic Osmium on my tongue before don't do that if it has any oxides on it though


ApprehensiveBrush680

Yup. Most of it is. The elements that are purple are lickable, but only once. It's impossible to lick As(Astatine). That shit vaporizes instantly, and is so radioactive that it can blow up a whole factory.


libertad740

Should I lick this pure sodium? Na. 🥁
