It's only been relatively recently that people in labs stopped sucking cancer causing and poisonous chemicals out of containers with their mouths on a pipette.

Oh, so this is why they are so insistent in lab that people don't use a pipette with their mouths. I thought it was mostly a meme!

No, mouth pipetting is a real thing

How do you know it's done if you can't get a taste?
