it never fails, everytime i get a new jacket or pair of jeans, i always find a little packet of little crystals called silica gel. i don't know what it is or what it does. i've always just looked at it as a free prize i got for buying the article of clothing, like at the bottom of crackerjack or cereal. the first thing i say to anyone who is in the room when i find it is "hey, silica gel. lets eat this... oh, wait.. it says not to...". literally. i do this every time.
so the only warning is to not eat it. thats the first thing that whomever put that in your clothes wants you to know. it's not for eating. you don't need to know what it is, you just need to know not to eat it. i mean, is this some type of reflex people have i don't know about? eating stuff they find in new things?
it's not like i buy a new cd, open the case and start eating the compact disc. or buy a drill and start eating the drill bits or battery charger. in fact, i can't think of anything people may eat when they would buy some type of new accessory or piece of clothing. "hey, look at this new shirt i bought at the mall. it used to have buttons on it, but after i got into the car i had the strange urge to eat them. yeah, weird.. i know...".
but that's the only rule. you can rub it on your skin, throw it at children, give it to the dog, snort it, rub it in your eyes, pee on it, make fun of it - but for pete's sake.. DO NOT EAT IT! anything else, fine. it might be the tastiest thing in the world but we will never know. we have been forbidden by its creator to eat it.
so tell me. have any of you eaten the silica gel?
