On the other hand, Hg is actually safe to lick. It’s a lot more noble than, for example, silver, so acids and bases won’t attack it. Lots of people even have it stored in their teeth, permanently.
while this is most likely true, you don’t really know what other sources of lead you come into contact with and it is probably a bad idea to add to the list deliberately
For reference:
A good start but Na and Cl are both individually as you really shouldn’t, put them together and you have tasty rocks.

Hey, es gefällt mir hier und ich drücke meine Rosette in dein Gesicht 🥰
If we’re talking about licking it in it’s solid state, I don’t think solid hydrogen or helium would be in a lickable state.
ESPECIALLY solid helium, which needs to be at a temperature LESS than 3 Kelvin AND at 26 times atmospheric pressure. Not “OR”, AND
You don’t need to sell it to me, I wanted to try before.
“Go for it you seductive tortoise; find that Helium rock and lick it.” is a strange sentence I never wanted to think of, but here we are
Must be a reason something’s yellow and not red, so should be fine
Pure mercury is pretty safe, actually.

To lick?
Also I’ve heard that lead is sweet, but will never lick the solder even though thinking about it is making me really wonder.
If you’re an adult in no danger of pregnancy and not breastfeeding, licking the solder wire once won’t hurt you noticeably.
But if you’re worried that you’ll like the taste and might seek it out again, that’s a possibility.

Weights for fishing (lines) are usually made of lead - at least in my youth they were
Careful, first you think you will just try 1 spool and the next think you know you are voting for Trump.
