ElectricityLicking a 9v battery is pretty funky on your tongue.
Doing the same with a 16V, 5A 1950s (or thereabouts) Meccano transformer isn't so good.

You know it's not a good idea, but you'll probably stick your tongue in it at some point

We took this a stage furtherand encouraged one of our engineers to lick the end of a 24v DC power supply. He is still amongst the living but did lose his sense of taste for a while.

I told my sisterthat the battery was delicious and that she should try it. She did, only to find it was not delicious at all. Mwah hah hah!!
