Willy Wonka predicted this. Just spit it out before it gets to the blueberry pie.

Why would it be sweet? It's more like a bouillon cube.

I've already gone over the fact that they are, in fact, gross, and you won't want to try more than one. But the thing is, if you buy a container, you can bring it to your friends and family and say, "Hey, want to try a salty drop that's supposed to taste like chicken noodle soup? They're gross."

Or, take them into the doctor/dentist/bank office and mix them into the bowl of hard candies.

That’s so evil, lol, I love it

[–] finley@lemm.ee 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

If I did that, my dentist would definitely know it was me., Lol

What kind of evil dentists has hard candies available in their lobby?

[–] finley@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

Just the regular evil kind

So my take from this is that this could be a neat alternative to bullion and a funny gag gift. That's honestly not nearly as awful as I expected.

I've gotten salty candy at Asian markets, I'm sure of this has been done better elsewhere.
