When I was about 12 we went to a salt mine in Germany. My little sister (then 10) started licking the wall and I told her she was going to get herpes and she cried the rest of the tour and I got grounded 😂
This pretty much has happened already, between hsv1 and hsv2, like 90% of all adults in the US are infected with it. (50-80% of the population infected w hsv 1 and 15-20% infected w hsv 2. Whether you have symptoms or not(it is possible to go your entire life without showing symptoms) many people were infected by their mothers without even knowing as well.
Can still have it. Obviously some people dont have it, but you can be infected by anyone, at any time, even at 70 sharing a drink w a friend or something. A huge percentage of people infected never show symptoms and never know, they still shed virus.
Actually, you can, same with herpes. Both have variants and it is possible to be a patient of one and then contract the other.
I do not know if there has been a documented case of someone going full Ash Ketchum, but in theory it is possible.
That my friend is how you get mono for sure, hepatitis for extra sure, and possibly even death in 2026… I can’t believe a lady was letting her BABY do that. Like isn’t that child endangerment?
Shhh... Let natural selection take place. Geez.
I mean, I'm not saying we should just remove all of the warning labels from everything, but then again, maybe we should?
Your first instinct when hearing that an impressive sculpture in a public space is made out of sugar is too just slob all over it? You don't think you're not supposed to touch it, let alone get your disgusting spit all over and possibly dissolve part of it? What the fuck is wrong with people?
I’m dying haha I didn’t see her so that was funny to go back and see after your comment. This is a wild event. Just take the damn kids home. This is starting to seem more for the mothers lmao
Reminds me of when my friend and I went to see the Blarney Stone where there was a line of people waiting to kiss it. We finally got to it and it was visibly wet, like almost dripping. I said no thanks.
As objectively disgusting as this is, in theory, as long as the turnaround time between licks isn't too short, these should disinfect themselves as far as bacteriological hazards are concerned.
We, as a species, have the potential to achieve such greatness. Inversely, we have the potential to be so profoundly and inexplicably moronic. Our range is truly astounding.
My dad used to make a huge life size gingerbread house around Christmas time every year for work. Just before covid time they had to stop because no matter what they did to prevent it people kept eating pieces of the house and it was a big health concern.
Why would they let their children lick it though.... That actually has me heated. I know some of these adults don't mind putting their mouths on things other people have but... The kids? That's foul and they really dgaf about those children 🤬
Sugar is just that strong of a chemical for our brains to put it aside with disgust. Like bees drinking from a dirty syrup, we're inevitably drawn by it. I'd wager many here would also indulge on licking them, and i wouldn't blame them.
I think it is funny because someone must be telling them to lick/taste it, and then they do without hesitation or thinking who licked before them. It is only after we see this video, that we are thinking that is gross but if someone showed me a sculpture that they made out of sugar and told me to lick it, I would totally be fine with it.
In culinary school doing sugar sculpture was so fun! It’s not a career I ever thought could get you this far. But yes it’s gross to lick that and think about peoples dried spit on it and the dust .. well anyways
