I read that as "butterfly", was confused. Reread it correctly, and still am.

Is the reality less confusing?

I feel like that's the defining question of our era.

I mean pretty genius idea really, I’ll buy some to try it for sure. Don’t really eat chips of any kind, but if these are decent they could be a fun party favor. Hope it doesn’t make everyone’s kids start eating batteries tho

in my experience tastes like (savory-sweet?) metal and pain

edit: not beating the pica allegations at this rate, doesn't help that I do actually have an ED

I was a dumb child

They’re having some difficulty sourcing the ingredients for “rotting corpse”, but the company is hopeful that the upcoming flavor should make it to market by the middle of next quarter.

If battery acid tasted bad, old corroded batteries would be a lot less dangerous in general.

There's a line where I wouldn't want to taste a weird flavor, and this article made me realize battery doesn't cross it. Life is a never-ending series of personal discoveries.
