If someone were to claim they had some sort of arsenic-flavoured candy... would anyone be willing to prove them wrong?

and if someone did taste it, how could they tell if it really tasted like arsenic?

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
If a woodchuck could chuck wood, could a woodchuck chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Arsenic flavored lollipop, or lollipop with arsenic in it? In either case, I sure wouldn't!

Also, isn't arsenic tasteless?

Do elements taste funny?

Also, isn't arsenic tasteless?

I think so... and here is something my research came up with:

If you eat rice, and particularly - in a monstrous irony - the "healthy" brown variety, or the kind used in baby food, the answer is almost certainly yes. According to Andrew Meharg, professor of biogeochemistry at Aberdeen University and a world authority on one of the most notoriously poisonous elements known to man, 10% of rice found on British supermarket shelves and 30% of rice-based baby food contains levels of arsenic higher than would be allowed in China, which as the world's largest consumer of the staple has the strictest standards (Britain's were set in 1959).

Arsenic, many forms of which are relatively harmless, is present in vast numbers of foodstuffs, notably fish and seafoods. But it occurs in a deadlier form, and in high concentrations, in rice because the crop is grown in flooded fields: arsenic naturally present in the soil leaches into the irrigation water and is absorbed by the plants.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
If a woodchuck could chuck wood, could a woodchuck chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

that reminds me:
back in 3rd grade our bus driver was named "chuck."

"How much chuck could chuck chuck chuck if chuck chuck could chuck chuck?"

say that 3 times fast.

If a man comes along and sniffs a container, but recieves no smell or taste, does it mean that it had iocane powder in it rather than nothing.
