I always assumed since it was a desiccant it might dry up my insides and kill me, but it seems like that’s not the case.

    I think the chubbyemu video had the best summary where it simply says do not eat instead of something like contacting poison control or a more serious warning.

    Another amusing thing is the old Jeff foxworthy line: you know why it says Do Not Eat? Because someone ate it. Imagine buying a camcorder, seeing a little pouch of marbles and thinking ‘im gonna eat this’

      NGL, I have almost eaten a lot of desicant packets because they have them in a lot of beef jerky packages. Jerky is one of my favorite road trip snacks, so I’ll be blindly grabbing jerky out of the bag either while driving, or possibly in a dark passenger seat because I tend to do a lot of driving at night or early morning to avoid traffic, so I’m blindly shoveling dehydrated meat into my mouth, and soonermor later that little packet tends to find its way to my mouth.

        Back when Game of Thrones was good, I was enjoying a new episode, several beers, and a pack of jerky. Pretty sure I enjoyed the desiccant, too.

          You had the courage to turn desic-can’t into desic-CAN!
