What salt tastes the best? Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs and more

This just seems dumb, so, so, so remarkably dumb.

There is one chemist, Carl Wilhelm Scheele, who famously tasted every chemical he discovered.

I'll warn you that there are some casual, NSFW words here and there in the video. It is, after all, a bunch of idiot friends (with access to chemistry lab supplies) tasting their way through the alkali metal chlorides.

Please do NOT try to repeat this experiment. 

LD50 values from SDSs, links included...

• LiCl - 526 mg/kg (source)
• NaCl - 3000 mg/kg (source)
• KCl - 2600 mg/kg (source)
• RbCl - 3800 mg/kg (source)
• CsCl - 2600 mg/kg (source)
• NH₄Cl - 1650 mg/kg (source)
• CaCl₂ - 1940 mg/kg (source)
• SrCl₂ - 2250 mg/kg (source)

That just measures the risk of death, but I'd wonder about other hazards than just straight up death along the way.

With that being said, it was interesting to see people
