Asbestos can be used by kids as chewing gum:
Wittenoom’s roads were paved with asbestos tailings from the nearby mines and workers went home covered in a layer of deadly dust.
Children played in the lethal mineral, and some even stuffed it in their mouths as a substitute for chewing gum.
Just stick with rock candy and salt. Minerals like cinnabar and orpiment have a short enjoyment period.
But orpiment tastes like garlic!
Full circle and back to the Paleolithic!
They’re minerals, Marie!

our body needs so many minerals so yes

The other first-column chloride salts are mostly edible at some level. Potassium chloride is used in some low-sodium foods, I think. I saw a couple Aussies on YouTube once going down the column and putting them all on fries. Not sure if I’d be able to find it again though, it was pretty old
+1 for Explosions & Fire and Extractions & Ire. This guy puts out videos where he’s synthesizing various explosives or just extracting weird compounds from things, all laced with a blend of Aussie humor and shitposting. Highly recommend

Hell yeah, brother, fight the system! Don’t let Big Geology tell you want to do! Eat those rocks!
Orpiment looks citrus-flavored, but when you lick it, it’s actually garlic-flavoured! These secrets have been hidden from us! Add crushed orpiment to your dishes instead of garlic!
Try Uranium
MMmm spicy mac&cheese

Been there done that. In ancient China, there was a psychoactive drug made out of five kinds of minerals.
