Can I borrow your chapstick?More of a bet than an experiment, but it did make for interesting results...
I spent some time in Afghanistan last year, which among other things can at times be pretty boring.
During a tea break one day, bored out of my skull, I offered to eat my chapstick for a single US dollar, an offer taken up promptly by the guys I was with who put in a dollar between them.
Much hilarity ensued as I forced down the rose flavored goo, but unfortunatly I overlooked three important things:
1) being quite waxy it stuck to my teeth, mouth and tongue, meaning I could only taste wax for about 3 days.
2) The stuff chapsticks are made of is a reasonably efficient laxative.
and...
3) The chapstick cost me $1.50.
So in effect I paid 50 cents to spend the afternoon doubled over on the bog, scraping my tongue with my teeth to try and remove the taste.
Luckily it was only about an inch long....
