Edit: Tl != Ti

Yes you can! ...well I'm gone!
Missed opportunity for sure!
I think I would rather lick Technetium than Lithium
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.
Flourine should be the darkest purple. Injesting or inhaling any amount is serious bad news.
Transuranic heavy elements may not be used where there is life.
I’ve been told that uranium tastes just like lemon drops.
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
Are you sure this isnt just a seasonal calendar of my wife?
Source please?
I honestly have no idea where this originated, but it looks like it's been everywhere, has t-shirts and posters, etc.
I watched a video from 11 hours ago by the dude who made it, well, made this version at least.
It's the exact same one on the video, something he's done for several videos.
