weird accident, food
i think i just injured my tongue by eating too much malic acid. about half a teaspoon of crystals at once. it hurts a bit, but more concerningly my sense of taste is screwed up. everything tastes sweet. water suddenly has a saccharin-like sweetness to it. it's pretty gross.
i do not recommend you try that, i suspect it will go back to normal in a few hours, but i don't really know…

Lol,
Sounds like something I'd do to myself, am left wondering how tho.. The story around this must be a gooder?! (o:

@karenm i don't think the story is that interesting. i bought the acid a while ago on a bit of an impulse. i like the idea of tasting a pure substance, and malic acid was one of the candidates on my list to try out. it turns out to be a nice choice to sour things up.
taking a small portion on it's own is kinda nice i think, just a nice kick of sour, a bit like Warheads or Center Shocks. and that time i've overdone it a bit 😅.

Thanks for the rest of the story. Was a gooder for sure.
Years ago I bought some "Szechuan peppers". Put a couple table spoons into a blender and then into a stew I was making.
I'm a regular with jolokian and scorpion peppers, so I thought it'd be great. I instead ended up with a numb mouth and a soup nobody could eat.
Probably a great reason to test things out that you're going to put in your food first (o:
