PlumBum is my favorite flavor.

I think I would rather lick Technetium than Lithium

Yes you can! ...well I'm gone!

Missed opportunity for sure!

Flourine should be the darkest purple. Injesting or inhaling any amount is serious bad news.

Radon should be yellow. You don't want long term exposure of it in your lungs, but it's still mostly chemically inert and not a significant immediate danger.

Just like how lithium should be red. Just because it's less likely to explode your face open doesn't mean that it's just "not a good idea". It immediately creates pure Lithium Hydroxide, which will immediately start saponifying your mouth, and that's assuming it doesn't immediately light on fire, like the last time I did that experiment.

Transuranic heavy elements may not be used where there is life.

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

Noble gases go from 0 to 100 real quick.

Radioactivity will do that.

But Rubidium is so delicious!

Are you sure this isnt just a seasonal calendar of my wife?

The hydrogen is more likely to explode than poison me.

Saw this table already here.

In no circumstances you should lick Bohr. Go lick Lead instead - it's much safer
