I found an old battery in my room that had lots of crystalline white powder around its seams and bottom. Something possessed me to sniff it. It had no scent.
Then, possibly due to my dissatisfaction with this lack of sensory gratification, I resolved to lick it.
It tasted like sour skittles and made my tongue tingle.
My tongue is still tingling.
Are you dead yet?
Oh, my. That's a rather daring thing to do. I won' t even drink the milk in the fridge if it's within two days before the "Sell By" date and here you are, licking batteries.
I used to lick batteries when I was a kid. They tasted pretty good, as I recall.
Maybe you will turn into a superhero and have powers now. Or live forever like the energizer bunny.
