Is that John Mayer?

Is this the new Tide Pods?

The reason they say not to eat them isn't even because they are toxic. They're not toxic, and the packet contains such small amounts it won't do anything to you at all. But the pouch itself is a choking hazard.

An interesting theory, one i shall have to put to the test.

The real reason is because they are delicious and big Carbon-based food industry doesn't want you to know about this.

Props on his nail care.

It will give you an upset stomach

Putting those silica gel packets in your tool box or whatever does nothing. Once they get to you, they've absorbed all they gonna absorb.

You can just bake them to reset them.

Don't eat them, you will have a bad day:

I suppose useful if you plan to trap them in a sealed, packaged environment, but not for just tossing about.

25 is a lot more than 1.

I already have an upset stomach

can I sell the new one it gives me

saw the chubbyemu video on this. the only danger is causing obstruction to your gut, since SiO2 isnt really reactive.

It's what Tide Pods dream of becoming

I don't get it.

Why isn't everything labeled "do not eat" then? Why just these packets?

Presumably because they're often included in things you're meant to consume. Someone who has never encountered them may think they're part of the product. It's obvious to all of us, because we've experienced them all our lives, but that won't be true for everyone.

I get these things in boxes of steel fasteners for the welding press I operate in a factory.

"Do not eat, unless you are a Silicon based life form."

They probably just cargo culted the text.
Most probably, the regulatory authorities did too.

Such as instant noodle packs. There's 1-3 similar packs with spices and sauce you're supposed to open and pour on the noodles, but this pack is not meant to be eaten

They aren't making them specifically for food. They make one type that anyone who needs it buys. It needs the message for when it's used with food, but that doesn't mean it's only ever used with food.

Just because you can eat them, doesn't mean you should eat them.

Probably. Still a 25th of a bad idea.

Yes, that's how they are usually used.

They should just reset in a dry room temperature environment in a day or so?

This is MAGA.

no that will make it angry

You never get small snack packets with your steel fasteners?
